Earlier today I clicked on a link to go to some intranet app.  I forgot about it and came back later.  I filled in my user ID and password then clicked login.  Here’s the message I received:

HTTP Status 408 - The time allowed for the login process has been exceeded. If you wish to continue you must either click back twice and re-click the link you requested or close and re-open your browser

I’m sorry, but that’s about the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a couple of weeks.  Please, people!  If you have to instruct your users to “click back twice” or “close and re-open your browser”, then you are doing it wrong!  Computers are supposed to work for us, not the other way around.

Jeez!
