People, please calm down.
I understand Angelique’s concern about protecting content, although I’m not sure this is a threat. I do enjoy x-plained.com’s content and do value the effort that has gone into the reviews and the news section. Thanks for that!
However, I strongly agree with Lasse, Lars and Kjel on a technical point of view here. I’m a professional software engineer and create websites for a living. The user experience on this site objectively is inferior compared to other sites:
1. Copy-pasting is generaly disabled, even in the comment section!
2. Right-click, selecting is prevented.
3. Performance is bad, the sites takes ages to load and feels sluggish to navigate
4. The site is not responsive (no optimized for mobile devices)
User experience design is key in 2017! You chose to deteriorate UX in favor of pseudo-protection. The barriers you’ve built into the site may prevent an amateur from stealing text and images. However, if someone is serious those barriers are just 2-3 minutes extra effort. There are numerous ways to scrape the content off your site.
Seriously: Have people been stealing from the site, or why is this even an issue? Why not put watermarks into the images?
Sorry, but I totally agree with Lasse and Lars.
It’s perfectly fine to protect the content of a site but this is not the way to do it. I can’t even copy this comment (my own comment!) due to the mechanism of this site’s template.
But the worst is the way you respond to your visitors. One should think that the visitors is the most important for a site. Due to all this, I can’t recommend your service to anyone.
BTW: The Ultimate Mod can be found at x-plane.org without restrictions for download etc.
You may agree or disagree with others. When you agree, it could be that I agree or disagree. Here is no download restriction either. The same as with Org, Aerosoft etc., you need to be a registered member else you can’t download.
I’m not kidding, far from it. What data exactly do you think you’re protecting through your most annoying and ridiculous crippled website usability?
You’re not protecting anything as far as I’m concerned, all you’re doing is:
A. Treating your readers with extreme distrust.
B. Giving your readers crippled user functionality.
I’m not kidding either. There’s no need to explain you all the ins and outs how things are organized. BTW … today you registered, and within the same time frame already complaining about nothing. Accept the way it is and else, it was nice knowing you, but I have other things to do then this.
It’s not that it doesn’t normally work on other sites, the point is that you’ve deliberately crippled user functionality for anyone visiting your particular website.
Preventing your website visitors from right-clicking or highlighting text is totally ridiculous. Why would you even do that, what for?
Maybe you should visit some other flightsim news websites so you can see that your website is the only one that cripples user functionality.
What do you think … that I don’t visit other X-Plane websites? You’re kidding, right? I’m responsible for X-Plained and want to protect my data as far as possible, so simple is that! When you don’t like it, I’m sorry, but then you visit all the other websites where you feel yourself free and comfortable.
Very disappointed about some of your website features, such as the inability to right-click or highlight text for example.
On the above “dedicated web page” I cannot even highlight the individual steps to copy them to a text file, how ridiculous is that?
Hi,
When you don’t like the website, what are you doing then here or perhaps it’s normal for you, but not for many others … “how ridiculous is that”? When something doesn’t work or whatever you’re irritated, you write to info@x-plained.com and start a normal conversation. Perhaps that helps!
