comment Should the user be given an option to turn off confirmations?
@André Turning the warning back on is a rare case, so it can be more difficult. The important thing is that the user knows his choice is not permanent, even if a bit more difficult.

Also it's a good idea to include a note "you can later re-enable these confirmations from settings".

comment How important is it to show profile picture of a person in the header?
This does not seem to answer the question. The OP seems to be talking about actual avatars/profile pictures showing a user added custom image, whereas your answer concerns the placeholder images for cases where user hasn't yet added a custom one for themselves.

comment Using icons as checkboxes?
If it feels like the icons need to be included for some purpose (e.g. if consistency with the view mode seems important), the checkboxes can just appear beside the icons when editing. Though that does create some additional clutter.

comment Default Measurement, “Metric” or “Imperial”?
If it's a mixed audience, there's no reliable way to detect the preference from user environment, and the users can switch... then by all means feel free to promote the one system that actually makes some sense! :)

comment Studies or experience on using faded text to indicate more content?
Sure, the later part would be stripped, but that wouldn't matter, since the short amount of fading text implies it's not intended to be read, only intended more of as an iconic representation of the "more text" that is available.

comment Studies or experience on using faded text to indicate more content?
I have one reference for this: Android Mark... emm, I mean Google Play product descriptions - though I don't know if this is exactly what the OP meant. And it should be noted my example also has a "more" -button in addition to the faded text.

comment Studies or experience on using faded text to indicate more content?
@AndroidHustle Well clearly not a study, since OP is specifically asking for references about this. (The question whether this is a notable claim or a single random idea stands regardless.)

comment Studies or experience on using faded text to indicate more content?
This isn't what I thought "faded text" means. My impression was that it's more like: [~400 characters of solid text] [~50-100 characters of quickly fading text] - in which case difference in visual experience due to fade "speed" woudn't really be significant. However, until the OP clarifies what she meant, this is speculation.

comment Helping participants in usability tests
+1 for "A usability test is not 100% scientific." Usability test is a tool, unless it's done in a scientific context.
