It is very annoying to keep clicking through for tiny bits of information.
but TR makes money on all those ads you see on the right hand side. Each time you reload the slideshow, new ads are exposed. I doubt they will be changing this feature.
Click Blogs at top of screen and select (for example) "Five apps for an easy BOYD transition"
Articles are much more viewable.

Don't care how much fun you have creating these things, most of us hate 'em.
About the only chance of making them acceptable would to do a striptease and we'd only click on the last one anyway...

Which is not fun for me at all. Despite what you like on a personal level, more people view the gallery than the blog post, so as long as they do, we have to produce two versions.
I wonder what factors drive that preference. I dislike them because of all the repeated clicking. But if you've got the numbers, I can't argue. I do wonder how many actually complete the articles.
There are always two versions of the Five Apps pieces.
And for the past few weeks, I have been linking to both versions in the newsletters.

This is not the first article I've seen on how to "deal" with BYOD. If there are enough issues with BYOD that people need to have guides or apps to help them make BYOD "easier", then that's a pretty clear signal that BYOD is just a bad (and stupid) practice. We don't allow BYOD in my company and there's no problem with that.
WE ALL HATE SLIDE SHOWS - IF YOU WANT TO TELL US SOMETHING - WE DO KNOW HOW TO READ.

Ads? There are ads? If it's slideshow, I don't even open it. I move on--no time for it.
Attention TR: Write the article with an option to download the screen shots for each app.
Slide shows are a nightmare especially on a mobile device or limited bandwidth. I hope you'll pack this practice in, if not then there's plenty of other sites where I can get my tech info. Awful...
When I realized the link to an article (not the gallery) was absent I almost set out to find it for myself but decided to read if anyone else was as ticked off as I was. Then I found your comment and the article link. Hats Off!
Thanks, BOSS. You have saved the day. I almost gave up; sliding left and right.
Bring Out Your Dead!
Might be more appropriate than some people think for non-standard devices with non-authorized files mingled with work files and private files. Let the audit begin!

Slide shows are for people looking at hot bods, hoping the next will be naked.
No more slide shows.

"A writer for over 12 years, Jack's primary focus is on creating annoying slideshows with poor formatting which make articles difficult to read and annoys the cr@p out of his audience..."
Jack makes them because that is the way most people want to view it - the numbers show this every week.
Please don't put an article in gallery format. It's bad enough when one has to click and wait for a page reload when looking at a set of pictures. Amazing for a site on technology how the basics of web user interaction are ignored.
Is anyone from Techrepublic reading these comments?
