I know people copy the latest fads in design and everything sort of blends to a generic grey goo.
Stumbled across this one several times recently:
Mandatory tick boxes / form errors that are scrolled out of sight and the Submit button is visible but appears to do nothing.
One very long form, field near the top, mandatory, not explained. It went red. But it was scrolled out of sight. Today, short form. Neat paragraph. No indication there was a further mandatory question.
