Off topic, but am I the only one to find the automatic scrolling very annoying ? Don't move the page on my behalf.



Not just you, YesScript or NoScript solves this problem for me though.

Also modifies history as you scroll.


Definitely not off topic for a site full of engineers and designers. It is a huge pain to navigate, especially when you get to the 3 bulb types near the bottom and as you scroll you accidentally hover over one of the bulbs.


Not just you, it's annoying to have scrolling behaviour taken over by the website. Also, scrolling down != changing page, but their js is treating it as changing pages, so the back button is broken.


I think it's that annoying because there is a mismatch between your intention (scrolling the page incrementally) and its reaction (moving to the next "slide"). It acts out of your control.


The site is so annoying I didn't even read the content. Terrible.


I seriously wonder what programmer / manager looks at this and thinks 'Yeah that's awesome, let's keep this!'.
