1. It gets worse. Often in aspdotnet we have programmers who will only remove loader on success so you could get a 500 internal server error response and the loader never goes away.

Pretty sure this is a problem across many other development platforms. Odd that you singled out aspdotnet programmers.

I was talking about myself but didn't want to admit I am the problem. (:

Ah, ok :)

Don't be so hard on yourself, even after 20+ years of .NET dev there are still things I can be a bit forgetful about, such as this UI annoyance.

Yeah, lack of error notification in general is a huge problem with many UIs.

It is worse than the other common problem of showing "no results" until the actual results load in.
