Lots of fashion photographers use sideways scrolling.... very few seem to use vertical scrolling except in blogs.... has anyone seen a good photographer's portfolio with vertical scrolling?

But seriously, when I'm reading a long article with 4 or 5 pages, I click on PRINT THIS, so I can scroll it all on one page and not have my thought process inturupted by a page reload and have to wait for all the ads,etc...

and of course, given different screen resolutions, "the fold" is a bogus concept now.... I like to show client a mockup on a netbook, and on his desktop at the same time....

I think more sites should offer the option of using arrow keys to navigate through blog posts or search results. It's almost always faster than clicking on a next button.

I'm still trying to convince colleagues that scrolling within windows is bad.

Scroll is normal, two much scroll no.

I personally prefer the single page format, especially when used alongside JQuery and such to provide 'smart' functionality - so much so, this is exactly how I built my last site.
Trouble is, I'm not my users and as I think I've already mentioned here - my users didn't get it.
I'm currently rejigging my site to make sure all the essentials are above, or at least very near to the fold.
