Why in god's name does ANYONE think locking the top banner/menu/etc... to not vertically scroll (ie, go the fuck away) is good design? I want that 1/3 of my vertical screen space back, damn it! Stop giving me headaches just trying to use your website, straining my eyes. Vertical screen real estate is already at a premium as it is on a desktop or laptop. I see the left and right sides not even being used and everything getting crammed into a tiny vertical rectangle, WTF?! If there were different versions for desktop/laptop and mobile it'd be fine, but nooooooooo, can't have that! This is sociopathic. (not about this website, thankfully it hasn't gone full stupid yet; just needed to vent cause I know companies don't give a shit about those of us who don't web browse on phones and nothing will ever improve) <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:941287045] in "Mobi...

Best I could find is "Responsive Web Design" (quite the Orwellian name, so kudos for that, despotic website designer overlords). But that still isn't yielding much in the way of google results for people complaining about or discussing this assault on our eyes that has been spreading like cancer for nearly a decade. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:941288356] in "Mobi...
