Visual Interface Nightmares
August 26th, 2009
We all know interfaces can be challenging, I thought I would start a collection of examples where the best of intentions just goes horribly wrong.
So as my first post on this theme, here is me trying to cancel a squash court - what a daft pop up :
So I am trying to cancel, and it seems I have a choice of canceling or confirming. Should I ok the cancellation or confirm that I want to cancel..? Or cancel my cancellation?
If simple things can go this wrong, what hope complex collaboration interfaces…
I remember laughing when I read this for the first time, and today I had the same problem. I hit cancel 3 times before realising that if I really really really want to cancel, I had to click “OK”.
I supposed it’s not as bad as pc users having to click Start to Shutdown.
