What's the most hated thing that you see on a website? Check out the options in the poll, and then respond with your answer (an explanation would be nice as well).

I can't stand seeing the font, Times New Roman on sites. It simply shows that the webmaster, or HTML creator was too lazy to add a little tag. Plus, if they wanted Times New Roman, I don't know one guy that actually likes that font.

Times New Roman definately gets my vote. You neglected an entire list. My friend, Taaj, and I, made a HUGE list!

Colored Scroll Bars
DHTML Effects that have no use
Transitions
Large Load Times with bad graphics
MS Paint Graphics
Text you can't read
Browser Incompatible webpages
CSS Effects where the fonts become larger when you click them
Pop-ups
Times New Roman
Websites that use over 6 colors in their layout
Frames
Lots of Frames
Anything on: Geocities, Fortunecity, Angelfire (except Kpop's Page), HyperMart, CJB, any of the ".to" domains, websites with VERY long domains names, websites with funny endings (nj.co.go.nd)
Websites that have "404"'s on every page
Run-Time errors
Needless Javascript effects (like things that follow your cursor)
Any site by Redmumba
Hundreds of dancing graphics (www.hampsterdance.com)
People who name their pages with extensions like ".php" or ".cgi", but use neither.
Broken Images
Lots of ads (non pop-ups)
Any site designed for Netscape only
Using Pink, Purple, Neon, Green, or any bright colors that hurt the eyes

That's a smaller copy. I think we got a list of 200 things.

yea..i could go on for ages...but i hate times new roman, i mean they may have a pretty nice layout but then spoilt it with a bad font like TNR, i mean do they actually think it looks nice if they have the skills to create a nice layout, surely they can add a font tag, lol

Times new roman font, big sized.
Javaclass files which won't work (you wait untill the grey rectangle stops untill you notice '.class not found)
Flash movies with a blue background and red font (they hurt my eyes)

I hate websites that say they have a certain something on their site, but don't at all.
