I hereby revoke UserVoice.com’s internet license. I can do that, right?

    Ouch! I hate getting caught like that. I’ve checked in the changes to fix that bug though that doesn’t absolve us from the other modal charges levied against us.

    Is there anyone we can go to get our license reinstate? I imagine we’ll need to go to arbitration first to settle this whole modal issue :)

    Thanks for the public shaming. I’ll see you at the next SHDH (where we met way back when).

    I too plead for modal mercy.

    Hi Uservoice.com guys. I’d be curious to know how you decide when to use modals. They’re a good tool to have, but when do you feel they’re “right”?

    Awesome Richard, SuperHappyDevHouse is the most fun/productive thing ever. I need to get back to the Bay Area for another one. Do you have a personal website or Twitter account?

    Oh, and sorry for picking on you, I just have this knack for stumbling into the one thing that’s broken on every website. It’s like I’m Bill Gates and the internet is my keynote demo.

    Is it just me or have these dialogs been popping up a bit more lately? I noticed two on separate websites in the last couple of days.
