comment How can I improve this simple form?
If it's only 2 options (ascending/descending) then using radios is a good option too. Checkbox doesn't make clear that the alternative to ascending is descending. I'd also avoid to use acronyms (and alternatives to make it clear, like A-Z vs. Z-A).

comment Adding paging, sorting and filtering toolbars to a table
Great, IMHO makes it a bit easier. Maybe build one version, observe users and figure out how often they use filters. If using filters is the main case I'd make the more visible and easier accessible by default.

comment What is the best name for login/logout button
An even more interesting in combination with sign up/sign in etc. - see ux.stackexchange.com/questions/20595/…

comment Adding paging, sorting and filtering toolbars to a table
Who is going to use this? Potentially 'everybody' or is it more a group of users that will use this more frequently, maybe in combination with a dedicated user account? If it's the latter one then this will give you some more options.

comment Complicated date field with range option
Just a thought about a potential pitfall for 'other requirements' that came to my mind: If date is optional and some entries do have a date, some a range and some no date, how does this impact the filter/order by date feature?

@gerrit Sorry. I was so focused on getting the cédille right that I messed up the word itself :-)

comment Language of language names in the language selector?
@MarjanVenema I know :) w3.org/TR/i18n-html-tech-lang/#ri20040808.173208643 and countless posts on why not to use flags to represent languages

comment Language of language names in the language selector?
+1 Agree on the pitfall. Guess that's why so many sites use flags to represent languages. Tried to get around with the globe icon but I'm aware not all users would understand.

comment Getting started with flow charts
Right now it's a very wide question. Maybe you can ask more specific once you started to dive deeper into the topic. Think of the audience for your flow charts - why did you want to do it in the first place and who's going to look at them? Long ago I used Jesse James Garrets Visual vocabulary: jjg.net/ia/visvocab.

comment New Style of Pagination Pattern
@DKOATED - I think that could work well! If the user entered '17' it would just show the last page and update the text field to '16' without any additional message.

comment Are there any performance or usage statistics for landing pages with no navigation?
It's a very similar principle to hiding the standard navigation of the site in checkout flows which was discussed here: ux.stackexchange.com/questions/34884/… (Not saying this question is a duplicate)

comment Is only having a single unmasked password field (no confirm) on a registration page a bad idea?
@zuallauz Interesting idea. That's how it works e.g. on iOS (where the likeliness of somebody watching you while entering the password is lower). On mobiles it's vital as the touch keyboards are small and hence lead to more typos. So yes, I would use this for mobile but rather not for desktop sites.

comment What are the pros and cons of skeuomorphic design in payment transactions?
+1 very interesting question Benny. Since most credit/debit card brands can be detected by their 1st two digits you could instantly update the image with the card brand logo.

comment Whats the best way to present a time duration to user?
If it's impossible or highly unlikely to solve in less than 2 steps I'd get rid of the (s) in 'Move(s):' - makes it just harder to read for almost no benefit

comment Case-study for hiding the optional fields?
Or collect the information right when the user is about to use an optional feature.

comment “Back to Top” alternate wording?
+1 for mentioning 'jump' as the user didn't necessarily start at the top e.g. if they used an anchor link.
