Grabbed by the virtual scruff of the neck
ah, those folks at Natwest bank have obviously realised I keep skipping past their "warning: bogus emails on the loose" page without reading it. I'd started to wonder what would happen if they did actually want to use this page to try and tell me anything important. well, today they grabbed my attention by refusing to enable the 'next' button until I'd clicked on a checkbox marked 'I've read this page' or something similar. so I read the page, this time. next time I'll just be ready to click the checkbox. so next time they want to grab my attention, they'll have to do something different. maybe a mini quiz on the content of the page?
y'see, clicking that checkbox doesn't actually mean I've read the page... but I'm sure that legally they feel much more at ease.
