Mar 22	answered	Best way to display plus/minus or pros/cons short sentences
Mar 22	comment	Best way to display plus/minus or pros/cons short sentences These types of arrows typically represent a change in value since a previous period, ie, a trend and I don't think they are valid here.
Mar 22	comment	Calendar recurrences on the last day of the month I'm struggling to find a use case for when you would want a monthly event that only happens when there is a 31st day. How outlook handles this appears right, and adding more options seems unnecessary.
Mar 15	answered	What is a good way to position chart elements on a dashboard?
Feb 21	comment	What are some good examples of guiding people through an infographic or interactive, but without it feeling like it's on rails? I would agree with both of these options to add some life to something. Perhaps it's a quarterly financial or something like that -- you could definitely liven it up with Prezi or Metablob. Do take a step back as @benny skogberg suggests before you get too deep.

Feb 15	comment	Is there any good reason why I shouldn't make some mobile app parts sticky? Because there is no scrollbar in mobile pages, the header is often the only indicator that you are at the top of the page. In a regular desktop, you can glance at your scrollbar to judge whether you're at the top or not. This doesn't exists in mobile. For this reason alone I've been against sticky headers in mobile.
Feb 15	answered	Concept for adding reminders
Feb 13	revised	Controls on moving controls? forgot to answer the question with all my rambling.
Feb 13	answered	Controls on moving controls?
Feb 13	comment	Does a list of checkboxes necessarily mean multiple choices? I'm glad @Leo is reviewing usability on this site, because this is so wrong. This is the sort of thing that I would expect to see a comment for in the code that looks like this: //TODO: Fix query performance problem when multiple filter options selected. Limited to just one selection for now.
Jan 25	answered	Best UI to allow expert users to enter an ip address? (IPv4)
Jan 25	comment	display reports while minimizing resolution issues Are the report interactive -- with click events for drill down? Or can you render the report as a PDF and have their pdf reader deal with it.
Jan 24	comment	Are activity alerts effective? example: 5 people are viewing this hotel right now I can only think that this helps build urgency in a users mind. "All these other people can make up their mind. What's wrong with you? Just book it already!" In my work context, we are designing this sort of activity alert in our product to help users determine best practices. ie. 15 users ran this report today, or, 32 people have this widget on their dashboard. But I'd like to read some studies when there are REAL dollars on the line if you can encourage a user to act now.
Jan 23	comment	Is there a widely-understood visual metaphor for using part or all of an existing item to make a new one? I actually think the 'fork' icon to be viable in this context.

Jan 23	comment	Direct manipulation vs indirect interfaces Do you mean like in Wufoo, when creating a form you can click on the form element to expose options to edit that element? dl.dropbox.com/u/4636521/click%20element%20to%20edit.png
Jan 23	comment	Is there a widely-understood visual metaphor for using part or all of an existing item to make a new one? Wow, great challenge. How much space do you have to work with?
