Mar 13	comment	Is it ok to change the (US) address input field order in favor of a pre-fill feature? I never considered this solution. I came up here twice and I will consider it in another project. For this one, the data entered would be validated and I cannot think of an easy way doing this from a textbox. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts!

Mar 12	comment	Is it ok to change the (US) address input field order in favor of a pre-fill feature? Yes, I would exclude ZIP codes that match multiple cities/towns and just not pre-fill. I get your point with the inconsistancy. As users are very unlikely signing up twice for this service I wouldn't consider this to be an issue.
Mar 12	comment	Is it ok to change the (US) address input field order in favor of a pre-fill feature? Thanks for your comment. I am aware of non-unique postal codes. I'd tackle this by just not pre-filling them.

Mar 12	comment	What are various Senior UX Expert job roles and path forward? I agree that there is a lot of variables. Not sure it's the right thing to say 'It would be better to choose the other road'. Especially in a growing organization it can be very beneficial if a skilled expert takes a leadership role develop the skills of the entire group.

Mar 12	revised	How can I guard against users accidentally sending emails without attachments? added 34 characters in body
Mar 12	comment	Is it ok to change the (US) address input field order in favor of a pre-fill feature? @BartGijssens I'll try to convince the company to OpenSource it :-)
Mar 12	comment	Is it ok to change the (US) address input field order in favor of a pre-fill feature? @BartGijssens: The user would select the country first. If it was Germany, as in your address example, the order of input fields would change. Still there would be a mandatory input field for ZIP code if the user selected Germany. If the users' locale would also be German the content language would be set to German by default (so it would rather be 'PLZ' instead of 'ZIP'). For Ireland there would be no ZIP code input field.
Mar 12	comment	Is it ok to change the (US) address input field order in favor of a pre-fill feature? To my knowledge ZIP code is must in most countries. Some exceptions though, e.g. Ireland.; 1. Right, user will choose country first; 2. lookup service is in place for most important countries (based on current usage); Not all users are very fast typing and the system should be build in a way that it would not overwrite user input.

Mar 12	comment	interstitial page regularity Just a small note: Since it's a logged in scenario I would store the preference in the user object rather than a cookie which might not be as persistant as you like it to be.
Mar 12	comment	How can I guard against users accidentally sending emails without attachments? @JonW I agree some would get used to it and sort of ignore it, thus it's not the ultimate solution. On the other hand I got so many emails where the sender would send an update with attachment a minute later - this is why I assume it would help many users.
Mar 12	comment	How can I guard against users accidentally sending emails without attachments? @fredley Love it and use it as well. Labs is working for Google Apps but the Apps admin in your domain needs to enable it.
Mar 12	comment	How can I guard against users accidentally sending emails without attachments? Btw, for Gmail they have something called 'Undo Send' in Labs.
