It can sometimes be a health and fitness offer, boasting natural remedies of new foods or exercises that can help you shed unreasonable amounts of weight or inches in short periods of time. Usually, the scam is an attempt to fool the recipient into giving out personal information online. These e-mails might claim you are next of kin to a wealthy Nigerian business owner, for example, or accuse you of violating the Patriot Act and then demand you pay some kind of fine.
The goal of such frauds is to get as much money and information as possible from you. Once the scammer feels he's gotten all he can, he'll cease communication. The old adage "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" is a good measure of a scam e-mail. Conversely, if it seems too bad to be true this is also probably the case.
You likely cannot lose 20 pounds in one week using newly discovered berries from the Amazon rainforest. You also probably did not violate the Patriot Act by sharing a news article on Facebook.
Be aware of phishing scams. Phishing scams are a newer form of scam e-mail. In a phishing scam, the scammer imitates a legitimate website to trick you into logging on to a phony version of a well-known site like Facebook or Twitter. The goal is to either get you to inadvertently download malware or to give out sensitive personal information. When you click the link provided, the site will look remarkably similar to the real website. This is why phishing scams are so dangerous.
They're often successful. Call your bank to verify the legitimacy of any e-mail you receive, and google the subject line if the e-mail's from a social media site. Chances are, your google search results will identify the subject line as part of a recent scam.
Look through their listings if you receive any suspicious e-mails you suspect are phishing scams. Watch out for Trojan Horse e-mails. Trojan Horse e-mails usually operate by offering some kind of service via download, only to release viruses onto your computer. Oftentimes, Trojan e-mails will have a strange subject line and then ask recipients to open an attachment.
For example, the popular "Love Bug" virus arrived with the subject line "I Love You" and then asked users to open an attachment to receive a love letter, resulting in their computer being infected with a virus.
In general, do not open attachments from senders you do not recognize. Part 2. Report scams on your Gmail address. If you use Gmail, the means to report a scam is fairly straight forward. Log into your Gmail account. Progress bars measure progress , not time remaining. I don't understand all these other rules people have come up with about them, maybe we need to stop making it so complex reply.
Depends on how you think of progress; as a function of total time or a function of total amount of elements on 'checklist' reply. There is a set amount of HTTP requests happening when you load gmail. When I just tried it out now, it seems to be about before the page has fully loaded. Instead of doing all of what you wrote, figure out which request is the last one, and a couple of the ones in the middle and make the progressbar incrementally go up as the browser finishes the requests.
If you're loading assets, you could just animate the progress between loading those assets, within the group as well, otherwise just animating the bar moving between the groups.
Tada, you have a progress bar that actually bars progress, and it's still simple. And is an "actual" progress bar any better for the user than the fake one? In the best case, no, because the progress bar disappears so quickly you hardly notice it. But in the worst case scenario, yes, it's useful to see that your connection dropped, rather than finding it out after waiting for something that is not even actually waiting.
Gmail handles failed connections separately from the loading bar animation code. If network connection fails during the initial page you get an error page instead of a hung loader.
If loading fails during use of the page you get an offline indicator. If you have network but it's performing horribly you'll get a suggestion to use the basic static interface. None of that logic is dependent on how the progress bar is moved.
Ok, so instead showing an actual loading indicator, you show a fake loading indicator and then put in additional complexity to detect loading timeouts.
How is this simpler than just showing a real loading indicator and let the user react to timeouts? The user has more knowledge about their internet connection than gmail, so they will likely have better knowledge how long the page usually takes to load. No, there is no "additional complexity" to put in. Even if the page had no loading bar at all these functions are needed, exactly as implemented, to let the user know if their mailbox is having trouble synchronizing while the tab remains open.
These functions however don't tell loaded percentage as it's a continuously synchronizing page they just tell connectivity status. The additional complexity would be special functions to tell initial page loaded percentage just to move the loading bar exactly instead of falsely. Not sure what this part was in response to but I'd say it makes a great argument as to why the loading splash screen shouldn't actually try to estimate how much of the initial loading has passed. Gmail was ready long before that.
Most of those requests are just pre-loading the immediately visible email threads in the background. Disclaimer: not associated with Google, but have reverse-engineered the Gmail XHR-format for non black-hat web-extension purposes. Sounds like a great idea! And in the future we would need to dedicate at least one discrete GPU exclusively to AI progress bars, right?
Would drive sales. So seems legit, doesn't it? Especially loading indicators… reply. I get it, this is a hard problem to solve. BUT it is a terrible user experience to: a not even have an estimate of how long something will take. If respecting your users is seen as simply adding complexity then you have failed to respect the mantra of "delight your customers.
Back in the 90s, UIs were more likely to give you statistics you might or might not care about instead of vacuous animations, and they were fast as hell. You're correct, but I was talking about the actual attitudes of coders, which were remarkably hostile towards users in the 90s. AnIdiotOnTheNet 10 days ago parent prev next [—]. Plus it doesn't use more memory than my first three Web-connected computers had combined , for a single tab.
Only way Gmail's tolerable. Their worst version isn't full-fat Gmail, though, but their lite mobile version. You fling-to-scroll, tap-and-hold to stop, but it takes the tap-and-hold as a touch on whatever's under your finger. Also triggers tap-events it when you're making multiple scrolling swipes. I dunno what it is about Google and fucking up mobile web interfaces for no reason. AMP pages also had inexplicable make-scrolling-shitty code in them, which was part of why I hated them.
Why put in more work to make mobile suck? It makes no sense. AMP scrolling was broken on iOS because of an iframe scrolling bug in Safari that, like any Safari bug, wasn't fixed for ages. I never experienced any issues on Firefox or Chrome on Android. I wouldn't call it having JS a simple matter of KISS though, features like live refresh seem to be core to an email portal not an over complication.
I don't want my email web client to live refresh. I check a given inbox when I have the energy to respond. And some people like a car with a manual transmission but in either case it has nothing to do with KISS when talking about an automatic car. KISS is about removing unnecessary complexity from a design not removing functionality from the design to simplify it.
AnIdiotOnTheNet 10 days ago root parent next [—]. Is there a reason meta refresh isn't good enough? Why even show a falsely determinate progress bar over an indeterminate one then? An indeterminate circular progress bar would distract the user just as much but with less lying. Probably because in the normal case where it does finish loading relatively quickly, the progress bar causes the perception of faster loading.
If the "loading bar" moves everyone once in a while, it acts as a "did the page freeze" indicator. S would be no loading bar at all. The least amount of work and also not baldface lying to users. I agree, but want to add to this by saying there should still be some indicator that a background process is happening. This is effectively done via a "spinner". While a loading bar would be better than a spinner in most cases, that is only the case if the loading bar is actually indicative of progress.
If a dev team doesn't or can't produce a semi-accurate loading bar, then just throw a spinner up and call it a day. But it is still nice to have a spinner to let the user know that something is happening in the background that you can't see.
Just displaying a blank screen or a fancy envelope icon can confuse users and cause them to refresh the page or click the back button in a panic to get to what they are expecting a screen of their inbox. Progress bars are ideal. But they need to actually work if you have them. But table stakes for modern software is at least a spinner to inform the user that something is happening in the background. If spinners actually indicated that, it would be useful. Unfortunately, most spinners in web apps - like this one - are simply static animations replayed by the browser, without any actual involvement by the app's code.
All they indicate is that the browser didn't freeze - something I usually already know if I have another tab open. They don't give me any information about the actual application: The browser will happily keep the animation running even if the app's JavaScript is already brain-dead or if the app has long lost all connectivity. Like simply the text "loading gmail" or whatever. Tell the user what is happening.
But that's exactly it - a distraction. It doesn't give any information to the user, not even if the page is actually loading. This thing will happily keep on spinning even if there is a network outage. Or you know, set a maximum payload size to load the main page then load the rest of the needed content when it is actually needed.
Set a well known header on the contents and use that header and the time it took to retrieve it as a way to detemine the aprox time it would take to retrieve your well known payload size I know I am over simplifying it but Its Google and they hire some of the most brilliant minds in the wolrd and put them to do unit tests I think many of them would be happy to be put up to a problem of this type reply. Chris 10 days ago parent prev next [—].
If any one is in a position to provide that , it's goog. I think it would also be neat to have standardised conventions for progress bars, that possibly encode more complex information e. Again, low level standardisation would help. Helpful, built-in browser UI elements are being left to rot rather than improved, so I doubt that'll happen. See, for example, the HTTP auth login prompt.
Browsers should have started building in payment input screens a decade ago, for similar reasons. It'd give us better security, better compatibility, better accessibility, and save huge amounts of duplicated effort. Many millions of dollars saved across the economy, every year, with something like that. But no. You just need to display the progress. You don't have to add time estimations. You could, but you don't have to. For sufficiently advanced applications this might be harder than you think.
Kiro 10 days ago root parent prev next [—]. How can you from JavaScript see how much of an asset has loaded? Presumably this can be calculated server-side. So you could send the full size right away which the JS could use to calculate loading progress. Ndymium 11 days ago prev next [—]. I remember Internet Explorer also doing this back in the day. Open Terminal: In Spotlight, the search magnifying glass at the upper right corner of your screen, search for Terminal, and press enter to open the Terminal app.
