May 8	comment	Patterns and models for representing Many-to-many relationships in interface design I think I may ask a new question to more clearly express what I'm after. Marked as correct because this gives a nice example of a many-to-many interface. Sorry again for not being specific enough in my question.
Apr 23	comment	Patterns and models for representing Many-to-many relationships in interface design Absolutely, that is the sort of thing I would be interested in seeing concrete examples of. Where do you click to add a new node? How do you set attributes (e.g. title and image)? Through a dialog box, or inline editing, or on a whole new page? How does the user create links? How do they delete a link without deleting a node? This may be too broad a topic for a single Stack Exchange question, but I'm thinking in terms of CRUD for many-to-many interfaces.
Apr 23	comment	Patterns and models for representing Many-to-many relationships in interface design @kaiser, Thanks for the link to the library - there is some pretty snazzy stuff in there :-) However, I'm not sure if it is really what I'm after... That library seems to be more to do with data visualization, where I am more looking for interfaces for the user to actually enter data. This kind of visualization could come in handy once the data is actually entered. Sorry for not being specific enough.

Apr 6	comment	Why don't most elevator panels let you unselect? Another elevator design question that always bugs me - why don't they account for the ten minutes after five o-clock? I'm on floor 4 of 14, and by the time it gets to me it is full and it still stops at every floor. You would think it would be easy enough to put in a rule where if it has stopped at a certain number of times (without someone selecting a floor other than ground) that it will be full.
Apr 6	comment	Quickly and intuitively entering quantity and item Setting sensible defaults for item numbers can go a long way with this design (if they are applicable to your data, of course). Kobolds may always come in bands of ten, but a dragon is a solitary beast :-)
Mar 16	comment	Min. opt. and max. value of a small field Would it suffice to have a simple pop-up when focusing on the field? Words to the effect of "enter a value between xxx and xxx"

Mar 16	answered	Should aspects such as page render time or time taken to retrieve results be considered part of UX?
Mar 16	comment	Multiple Monitors and screen corners @dnbr Agreed on all counts. Thanks for the clarification edits to my original question. As an aside, the Windows-Cursor shortcuts aren't supported on earlier versions of windows.

Mar 15	comment	Multiple Monitors and screen corners @KitGrose I like your trick, and it is always the first thing I do when sitting at a computer with multiple screens :-)

Mar 15	comment	Multiple Monitors and screen corners @MattRockwell The problem is that with an absolute corner, the click target is essentially infinite in width in two dimensions. With an arbitrary point along the top edge, the click target is infinite on one axis, but requires fine precision to navigate to a close button that is approximately 20 pixels wide.
