Submitted to feedback @ kcstar.com: I've multiple problems with this site. Pages not loading, ridiculous loadtimes, etc. There's enough javascript to choke a horse. As a web developer I have to consider the user-experience as a major part of the architecture. This site is painful to use. A faster connection/server might help but it looks like code-bloat to me. When you get ready to develop a site that works for you instead of against you consider a professional web company. Incidentally, the entire message is submitted on the querystring. These guys are morons. http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/contact_us/feedback/sendmail.htm?to =mlfeedback@knightridder.com&First_and_Last_Name=Chris+Fowler&from=chris@the fowlers.com&subject=KansasCity.com%3A+General+Feedback&browser=IE+5.0&operat ing_system=Windows+NT&Other+browser%2Foperating+system=&mm%2Fdd%2Fyy=×t amp=&text=I%27ve+multiple+problems+with+this+site.+Pages+not+loading%2C+ridi culous+loadtimes%2C+etc.+There%27s+enough+javascript+to+choke+a+horse.+As+a+ web+developer+I+have+to+consider+the+user-experience+as+a+major+part+of+the+ architecture.+This+site+is+painful+to+use.+A+faster+connection%2Fserver+migh t+help+but+it+looks+like+code-bloat+to+me.+When+you+get+ready+to+develop+a+s ite+that+works+for+you+instead+of+against+you+consider+a+professional+web+co mpany. -----Original Message----- From: owner-kclug@marauder.illiana.net [mailto:owner-kclug@marauder.illiana.net]On Behalf Of Duane Attaway Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 12:45 PM To: ndr Cc: Bradley Miller; kclug@kclug.org Subject: Re: UGH! New KCStar.com site . . . They seem to be down or unreachable to me...oh, there it loads instantly after a minute of waiting! Here it is under Netscape 4.78: Very interesting page source with "massive" whitespace and it is unusually large, mostly javascript. Too bad I have it turned off so I don't see the usefullness of all that crap. Just reading the text, everything seems to format properly. Seems good to me. They must be experimenting "live."
