We do sweat the small stuff - login form tweaked

Do Sweat the Small Stuff book cover

We love getting your suggestions for new features and big improvements we can consider for the future, no doubt. That's not all - we also love hearing about those little niggles, things that don't stop you using Campaign Monitor but that are less than perfect, or just irritate you.

One customer at Web Directions last month told us about his pet hate with the Campaign Monitor login form. We try to be helpful by have the page set the focus to the username to save you some time. However if a script like Google Analytics was a bit slow to load, he would be halfway through his password and then the cursor would jump back to the username field.

It's annoying and frustrating, so we fixed it. Now the focus won't automatically be set if you have already started entering your username or password. Just a little change, but something that smoothes out the experience of using the product.

So if there is something that bothers you about Campaign Monitor, let us know, because we keep track of these things and we'd love to hear from you.

Excellent idea. Gmail has the same problem, and it drives me absolutely insane!

Hopefully they'll rip off your script :)
