Read OriginalThe article details a 2012 test of image sharing functionality on seven major German news websites. The author found that most sites' image galleries failed to update the URL when navigating between images, making it impossible to share a link to a specific picture. Only two sites worked correctly across devices. The critique focuses on poor web development practices, specifically the lack of URL hash updates or HTML5 History API implementation in JavaScript galleries, prioritizing fancy effects over basic usability.
