A few google searches send me to this site named "Quora"
I was curious what it was and went to the root page and.. they started a login process..
At this stage I just wanted to read the site and the mandatory login was very obnoxious...
(and it's a free site, as far as I could see...)
So far it's mandatory login to a site I don't even know to purpose of?!  
However, it was (apparently) mitigated by some OAuth mechanism, I could login with Facebook!
Great!
However, click facebook login, oh Quora need its own additional password as well!
WTF? One more password to forget... for something I don't care.... Bunch of $@###@#$!!
Screw you Quora!

Clicking the X on the tab should solve the problem.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I did close the site...
But there is no X in the page itself...
I just tried to open Quora in an incognito window, it appears login is mandatory...

Do you have firebug installed in your browser(firefox)? 
|
|
|
|
|
nope...
it might be a good thing to have in general!
But not doing much web dev at the moment anyway...
And also am not really interested in wasting time forcing my way into this obnoxious site...

Hey - that's exactly how I login to those sites, myself!

That's on my block list.
It's like expert sexchange, where "experts" (anyone with an internet connection) answer questions and then they pollute Google search results with them.
You can see the question but have to log in for the answer (or use firebug, if you're bored)

As opposed to amateur, or do-it-yourself, or full-moon-induced, sex change ?
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Or spontaneous, for no reason, because we can etc.
(Even Wikipedia mentions the other reading of expertsexchange)

It is an awful site for spamming you with garbage.

double excellent!
no wonder there is no good answer on Quora with such a poor experience! ^_^

I agree but I hate sites that will not load without javascript enabled more. I am more a "you're not running scripts until I know I can trust your site" kind of web surfer. If your site cannot work without scripts, your site will be passed over.

Anchors Improvise After Audio Cuts Out During Broadcast[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

congrats - I'm at 49.5K - I did hope I could keep rep points in line with my age, but my rep points are lagging by 'a bit'

Thank you.

You are 49,500 years old?
Or is that in days, and you are "only" 135?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
yep, it feels like 49,500 years old
what I should have put, but was bashful about the geekness, was rep-points/1000
