Web site front page is annoying

Post by Technomancer »

Specifically the "Newest Product" section at the top, how it keeps cycling through them whether you are done reading them or not. It seems to be on a timer, set to advance to the next product every few seconds, regardless of whether someone has already advanced it manually. So you get cases where you advance it manually to the next (or previous) product and a second later it advances automatically.

Anything you can do about that?

You could do what I do -- disable Flash.

If you move your cursor over the text in the Latest News section, it will freeze until you move the cursor off the text. That, or they've slowed down the advancement rate for the "slides" enormously.

It was set up initially to cycle automatically as it gives a chance to showcase all the new products. Let me see what I can do about slowing it down a bit. Should be fixed tonight sometime.
