I accidentally clicked past the last page, hit the back button then had to go through the thing again. As I was rushing, I missed the last page again, and could not figure out how to go back. Scrolling would have trivialized this issue.

What’s the lesson here? Click carefully and don’t rush?

Ahh its the users fault for not reading the data before clicking.

Imagine an unholy text book where once you turn the page, the pages before become inaccessible. Its your own fault for not understanding everything on the previous page and you have to read the entire thing before you can start again to find that page.

Yes its the users fault.

No, the user’s a genius because they can’t use a lamp.

Right....

Don't hide compelling or interesting information behind bullshit ui restraints. Particularly egregious was the "Click here for more information, click two pixels lower to permanently leave this screen."

The lesson is that one should at least make an attempt to make websites usable.

[paulcole]

I didn’t have any trouble using it.

Accepting the limitations of a site doesn't mean they don't exist.
