The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker for Wednesday, January 16, 2008

Submitter’s comments: It’s laid out using tables and spacer GIFs, has Flash navigation, ugly yellow gradient background, marquees…Also has a stupid name for the homepage “Launch Pad” and a really annoying pop-up when you right click, which you can EASILY DISABLE by just disabling JavaScript, but then again, that ruins the navigation anyway GRRR!

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I’ve used several astronomy sites in the past. This one isn’t quite as bad as the others because the backgr9und isn’t the black void of space with twinkling stars.

You folks have to quit using Flash for navigation. Not everybody is allowed to use it (businesses and the military come to mind). Also, there are a lot of folks who use Flash blockers to prevent those hideous Flash adverts.

Launch Pad
