fnb's loading bar is just placebo!

sad thing is my money is all with this bank with they could not be bothered to add a real loading bar

As if their website wasn't bad enough just on functionality they throw in this crap.

 

[Lycanthrope]

haha... That's hilarious

Although is there still a percentage-based loading bar? I haven't seen it in ages, only the small one in the top left corner.

I'd also be more inclined to blame the devs for that than I would FNB itself.

I sometimes feel the Microsoft bars are the same

Some people have WAAAAY too much time on their hands.

Nonsense. It's a critical aspect that results in this individual losing his trust in the bank because he feels grossly deceived/taken for a fool/whatever.

It's of colossal significance.



I do find it really funny though. It just seems so pointless (apart from encouraging patience in users).

The Android download bars are worse.

Never trust a progress bar.

But honestly, this is quite terrible from FNB. I always thought nothing was happening when the progress bar came up on FNB, but to know that it is completely fake is shocking.

 

[ChocolateBadger]

Big deal. So what

 

[bwana]

So?

 

[boxerulez]

If they remove it...our online banking experience would be faster then?

C'mon okes. It's just a universally understood way of saying. "ok, we got your instruction and we're working on it". Surely no knowledgeable person ever thought it was actually measuring anything behind the scenes?

It doesn't?! :wtf:

I can already see their share price dropping due to this

 

[TofuMofu]

It's funny, but it doesn't really matter.

They could have easily just added a spinning wheel to show something's happening.

 

[Ancalagon]

Pretty hilarious!

EDIT: Actually what is more hilarious is that this Davyd McColl guy got all butthurt about it and is now defending the Progress Bar's Virtue.

How dare you insult the Progress Bar! I challenge you to a duel! C++ in VI at dawn!

 

[TelkomUseless]

lol. Did people really think the progressbars on web does measurement/indicate real progress? LOL!!!
