please remove the fancy video background, it just SLOWS the log in process significantly.
I am annoyed each time I log on. Does anyone else think this is annoying? We don't need to be impressed by Paypal's coding skills, we just want to access our accounts effieciently! thank you!
I actually make most of my login pages the "logout" or direct login pages of websites rather than "Home" pages. They usually aren't bloated with the extras.
One thing you can do to combat it is to make your Paypal "Home page" or favicon page the logout page or the direct login page with the /login after Paypal . com. These pages will not show the video.
Thanks Marty! This is the easiest workaround I have seen so far. Just remember not to log out, or you will be hit with the disturbing video again.
Adding my voice.... please remove the video. It interferes with the act of logging on for me. It is annoying, distracting and reduces functionality of the page. Is anyone in IT listening?
You know those gigantic, screen-filling FLVs that appear on the login and logout pages? I find them *extremely* disturbing. Like, Uncanny Valley levels of creepy. I don't know if it's the disembodied hands doing random things or whatever, but.... just... GAH I don't even want to *think* about it any more. Somebody, please, tell me the code to add to my Adblock filters.
Get rid of that irritating video background. While the video background doesn't kill my computer or anything like that, I find the backgroud to be irritating, gimmicky and completely unnecessary. The fact that there is no option provided to disable it is pretty lame. Lame just like the video background.
Have to agree. I come to paypal to do one thing, send money and check my payments. I don't need some fullscreen video / gif showing me how cool Paypal is. Everyone knows that already and this is coming from someone who designs for a living. Follow Google, clean simple and minimal. The new site design (outside of that) however is pretty nice.
