Stupid website: Linkshare.com

Stupid website: Linkshare.com

Posted by vinhboy on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 in Rant.

Time to add another website to my list of stupid things web developers do. Today’s stupid site is linkshare.com – I wouldn’t complain about them, except for the fact that they did ask for my Social Security Number when I registered. I figured that if they are handling social security numbers, they would be pretty competent. Nay…

Look at the screenshot. So they have a username and password — the password field has a maxlength of 12. Yet, my password is longer than 12. It’s not my fault, they allowed me to use a password that is longer than 12 characters.

So I firebugged the maxlength to something bigger and entered my password. Bingo, it worked!

But if I was just a normal user, what am I supposed to do? Linkshare form fail. Thank God I didn’t give them my SSN.

Grow something...

I like to grow stuff... It's kind of like building a website. Making something out of nothing. I want to grow my own food. Here is some dirt, plant a seed.
