Heh, reminds me of my last two ISP pages, Comcast and Bellsouth. Both have these glitzy ADHD-inspired flashy news type fronts, and it takes some looking around to figure out how to get to your account info.

In the case of Bellsouth, they actually had three slightly different useless fronts overlaid on top of each other, with links that crossed over to each other. Even the phone reps couldn't find anything in it.

Genius!

Provide the customer with all the information at once on the page -- and then keep the whiny bastards from complaining to you and using it.

Someone got a promotion, I bet.
