verizonwireless.com Website Blows Chunks.

Comparing features of phones includes reading reviews. So I was reading reviews. The page hung and I went to a different tab where the website told me I was about to get booted off for inactivity. As I was using the website.

That is to say: if you are using the verizonwireless.com website, you get kicked off after 15 minutes unless you click the box. . . on a different tab than the one you are using. If you don't see the box because you are on a different tab using the same website, tough cookies.

Somebody report this to the thisisbroken.com website already. It's a quibble but how hard is it to get your website to track active users instead of active tabs?

********

Plus the stupid popup menus and login boxes all over the place are slow, and don't dismiss as quickly as they should when they do pop up - which is often. How do you write a page so it loads with the BOTTOM of the page (disclaimers) onscreen instead of the top (content) showing? Poor. For everything else it may be the bees knees . . . but for reviewing phones in depth it could use some work. Oh well, what do you want for free?
