If paying thirty dollars for an “assessment fee” for your student profile wasn’t enough, wait until you actually start filling it out.

The U of T Student Profile Form wins the Most Frigging Stupid Form Design Award of 2006. The form is divided into several pages with no easy way to get in or out to a specific section.

Want to save your information? Well, gotta log out too, sucker! Want to log out? Well, you’d better blank out everything you’ve already filled out! I won’t move forwards or backwards if you’ve filled out half of my fields! Want to type your marks in really fast? Well, you got head faked because I use drop down menus that list every single bloody grade you could possibly get. Yes, 99, 98, 97, 96, and so on and so forth. And, when you want to go back to where you were when you left off, you have to go through every single page you’ve already submitted before you end up where you were.

And no, CGI is not the future. At least make a form in bloody PHP.
