This is one of the pages used during the testing I witnessed. Aside from the
problems I mentioned in my previous reply, participants also had a very
difficult time because of the broken Back button. When you click an image to
learn more about it or see a larger view, you leave the page, and when you
hit Back, you have to start at the beginning. It doesn't "remember" where
you left off and return you to the section you last viewed.

This is a problem in many "infinite scrolling" implementations. Reminds me
of the ongoing battle between Flash apps and the Back button.
