Too Long Didn't Scroll

SCROLL!

The scroll bar is the tragedy.

Journeyman Geek

I'm sure the web dev was extremely talented. And completely pissed off.

Jason C

Do it and be horrified.

Lol probably

Journeyman Geek

2:24 AM

That's actually not ugly

Jason C

Oh no, the graphic design is impressive.

The scrolling is annoying as hell. Also I wonder what that page is like on mobile.

Journeyman Geek

Its terrible on 4k

Jason C

Oh god

Journeyman Geek

I need to scroll down 2 pagedowns worth for the next screen

Yup

I'd eat my hat (without sauce) if this wasn't intentional

Jason C

Also find-on-page fails.

I want to bitch about printability, but... who prints stuff.

The sort of people this sort of thing is aimed at?

Jason C

Heh

I like how the + on the social media bar only adds two more things.

All that saved space.

Journeyman Geek

And there's a share menu on the right

Jason C

Haha I didn't even see that.

Journeyman Geek

"Say, ed, we need links to all the social medias!" "There's too many! We can't have more than 3

"Say ed. WE NEED A SHARE MENU"

and what the hell is the find a domain link there for?

"We need to convert people reading the site to sales ed." "Why don't I add a cryptic button" "Nice work ed. You get extra gruel tonight"

Jason C

Oh man; the Verisign home page: verisign.com

Those two view buttons expand things from the top. It's... disorienting.

Journeyman Geek

2:31 AM

how big are these guys screens?

Jason C

Then when you scroll down the expanded area disappears and the scroll jumps.

Journeyman Geek

I always thought landing screens had to fit nicely on one screen.

I'm no UI guy of course

Jason C

I was just thinking that. The "explore security solutions" hover pop-up on that DNS page is a few pixels taller than my monitor.

Journeyman Geek

It loads ok on a 4k screen. Which is... oddly enough, not ok

Jason C

Ha. Oh man I saw the worst search dialog ever the other day, now I can't remember where it is now... let me see...

Journeyman Geek

2:33 AM

(so, that's why 8k displays are coming out. So you can view verisign's webpage on a single... oh wait. You would still have to scroll)

Jason C

Damn there's no way I'm going to be able to find it. It was some page with a search box at the top of the screen, but when you clicked it the box got huge, centered, and the whole thing expanded to take up the entire window, it was absurd.

I hate when people make me chase input controls around with my mouse.

Journeyman Geek

lol

JamesENL

@JasonC Think of it as a test of how awesome you are

Jason C

I think my least favorite scrollbar trick is those pages where the background scrolls slower than the foreground and tries to line up with different sections of the page, I forget what that's called.

Based on this year's SO Developer Survey, 27.5% of users use SO Docs as guidance.

I guess I should give it another chance?

Do you mean, a chance for the survey to repent?

Andrew T.

I guess that also works

Jason C

@AndrewT. Maybe that's why so many SO users ask so many crappy questions. They should probably start looking at actual documentation.

Star jinx!

Jon Ericson

@AndrewT. As much as I'd love to see this be correct, I suspect people misread/misunderstood the answer.

Andrew T.

6:07 AM

I was curious though since SO Docs is not yet indexed by Google..

Apparently I was wrong, but to get SO Docs link from Google result... was hard.

Jon Ericson

It's indexed, but Docs isn't being returned high in the results just yet. We can probably change that, but it's not worth driving traffic to the content. Some topics are pretty good, but many are not.

Andrew T.

Yeah, I don't think it's a good idea to make it higher for now...

> Checking the certificate of DLL makes it harder to hack. Note that once users’ PCs are compromised, the hackers can do anything on the PCs. This solution only prevents from Notepad++ loading a CIA homemade DLL. It doesn't prevent your original notepad++.exe from being replaced by modified notepad++.exe while the CIA is controlling your PC.

It's basically cyber war and nobody can do anything about it due to the US being a super power. Similar to how nobody could stop Russia from annexing Crimea, we just had to let it happen.

Shadow Wizard

@Stijn you mean they send whatever people are editing/typing in Notepad++ to their servers?

(if it match some red flag trigger?)

So if someone writes "I want to kill Trump" in Notepad++ before the fix, the CIA will come over and arrest them. Cool!
