For my class I had to do a usability test, so I choose Dr. Foster & Smith vs That Pet Place, to see which is easier to use.
If you have a little bit of time, please take our survey. The project is due on Thursday, and we will most likely be taking it off air tomorrow night/Tuesday morning in order to do the results.
Only one test per household (it is logged so we know if there are 2 people in a household taking it or not), so please take our survey!
If people would like I will post the results at the end after the project.

Welp, made it through
Yup, I tried once, gave up, then attempted it a second time and got through, there was one where I accidently hit ENTER instead of shift and a few that I guessed... I prefered the second of the two sites, easier to navigate.

Doing good actually. We just bought another 90lbs of live rock (4 giant pieces) to give the tank more height. He's up top now, and looks a lot happier already today. Both the T. Crocea (new one) and the T. Maxima look 100% happier up a lot closer to the lights.
Now that Crocea, I traded 1 head of torch coral, a frag of xenia, and 3 small heads of Trumpet coral (green center w/ pink outline) for it. Great deal if you ask me, considering those clams are $70-$100 here.

Good luck with the usability test.
In another life, I was an executive in charge of User Experience at Broderbund Software. :)

I just did it. i found DFS easier, but thats probably because I've used that site a LOT, and not as much at TFP.

Here's the results page:
http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/~rwagoner/survey/results.php
We are still determining how results will be excluded, so don't pay too much attention to that graph. We are messing around to see what we come out with, waiting for the professor to email us back to see what he has to say about what percentile should be left out and so on. I'm not big on stat, so I leave that for my partner (who is also on this forum).
Hopefully you can view the stuff on that link.
Some of those stats look like people have just left the window running and then returned to it later... such as
P Q AVG MIN MAX
19209.6226327230:03:290:00:030:45:23
45 minutes to complete it?
And how did somebody do it in three seconds?
It's interesting :) Thanks for the link.... I just have to work out my IP to find out how I did...

:). That's why we are going to exclude results, for people that left it running and came back. I know the results for my mom, who called me up yelling at how annoying it was, so I don't think people should have taken much longer than her, as she managed to call and yell at me, still getting under 12mins.
I took longer on the second site (two minutes) but I found it easier to navigate... very weird.
