all error messages must be full-screen video recordings of rotor as described hererotor posted:when I have to display an error message, I display a fullscreen video window of me explaining what happened biznatchio posted:bonus points if it's done on a chromakey background and displayed so you just happen to like, walk out on the user's desktop. more bonus points if the video starts like you're mildly surprised to see the user. "oh! hi there! i'm rotor..." biznatchio posted:"you might remember me from such errors as 'no disk found in drive a:', 'terminal out of paper', and 'i told you not to fold, spindle, or mutilate the input but you didn't listen'." JawnV6 posted:they'd still call and it would just add existential confusion rotor posted:Only who can prevent paper jams? JawnV6 posted:"Just... just close video rotor ok? He's not helping anymore, just listen to me on the phone. How do you close him?" rotor posted:now click it again

rotor posted:lmao i have no memory of these posts and no archives access, what thread was this qirex, 2010 quote:The longer I do desktop support, the more it becomes obvious that my users don't read anything that appears on their screen. Instead, they memorize a series of buttons to press to get whatever result they want and if anything unexpected happens, they're completely lost. Error logs help a lot, but they have their limits. I've been toying with a few ideas, but I don't know if any of them will work and I was hoping my fellow YOSPOSers could point me in the right direction. For example, I was thinking about creating icons or logos to identify specific errors. They might not remember that an error about "uninitialized data" but they might be more able to remember that they got the "puppy error" if I showed a puppy picture next to the error message. Or for times when finding images is too time consuming, you could create simple logos from letters, numbers, symbols, colors or shapes, so you could have the "red 5" error or "blue square" error (or any combination of those elements). I've even wondered if it would be possible to expand that to cover the other senses, for example, playing a unique sound with the error. Unfortunately, haptic and olfactory feedback aren't readily available. I like to think that my users would remember the error that caused them to get a swift kick in the balls. And if they forgot it anyhow, I could always help them reproduce it. Does anyone else have experience with ideas like these? Did it work?
