I see what you mean by less is more rule... but this is following the more is more approach ;) ALL the content loaded up! ;)

I think it can become less annoying with some bug fixes... we'll see.

HI, I must say horizontal scroll is somewhat annoying. I would go with rule less is more, but that's my opinion.

Cheers

Hi Greg,

Since you used five NOs, I thought I'd break my own new rule of not talking about future features and let you know there is also going to be a 'lofi' version with a more conventional approach(think old craigslist level of interface). The current website is also going to keep working in tandem until that's done.

I'm reading all the feedback and am thinking about it all... So thanks again everyone.

all the best,

What do you think?

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

This is a HORRIBLE user interface, for all sorts
of reasons.

1. There is no need for a page of this kind to require
horizontal scrolling at all.

2. If horizontal scrolling is required (which it's not
in this case) it should be done the usual way, with
a scroll bar.

3. Scrolling, if it's to happen at all, should happen
promptly, and not make the user wait through an
animation, particularly one that could cause dizziness
or motion sickness in some people.

Sorry to be so negative -- you've obviously put a lot
of work into this -- but usability has to come first.

Visually it's very nice. The same content in a more
conventional layout would be great.
