Bad Web Design
I repeatedly run into two common practices that I hate. First, many sites that require you to enter a password have minimum lengths (a good idea) but don’t specify the minimum. The best have I’ve seen it does is like so:
| Password: Must be at least 6 characters |
As for the second, I hate people that put lots of information in small boxes that cannot be expanded, whether it’s text and links (I’m looking at you, Bloomberg Careers) or form options (Monster.com). Big boxes are the way to go. Even better, let us resize them, either through selecting a different stylesheet or AJAX kung foo (I’m typing this in a very nice resizable text box in WordPress).
