Does any body have some statistics about the usage of scrollbar buttons(up and down) in a web page? I'm amazed by these figures over using the scroll wheel. Is there any indication of how much scrolling was involved in the page? I tend to find users use scrollbar dragging when they need to go a 'long way' and the scroll wheel when they want to slowly scan the page at reading pace |

What should be considered when launching a Wikipedia-esque site to make it as useful as possible? Take a look at Wikimedia (The wikipedia people) as they provide an infrastructure you can use. Apart from that I can't offer any more except to use wikipedia as a baseline. Wikipedia is pretty all-encompassing and offers all users the ability to add and edit content - is there any reason you can't achieve whatever it is you're trying to achieve using wikipedia itself? |

How to design a form that requires the user fill in one text field out of three Agree completely. Having come from a dev background and now being a UXer I sometimes feel VERY guilty when I tell the devs how I need things to work. It rarely lasts. |

How should one prepare when doing a UX presentation to non-practitioners? Rather you than me! I think I'd be conscious to back everything up with citations - a lot of people think UX is made up BS! (then again a lot of people supported the Nazi party. People are stupid) |

How to design a form that requires the user fill in one text field out of three I did wonder that too. Auto-detecting the format is one thing, autocomplete for a field like this seems very odd! |

How to design a form that requires the user fill in one text field out of three Do you think? I don't think so - a simple regex and case statement - could be done purely client side, server side or ajax combination of both |

Rating or Grading on touch devices (smartphones/tablets) I favour the scroll to rate - I hate that feeling in a touch screen where you have to be precise to get something right. The mobiscroll jQuery plugin works very well :) |

What's a typeable symbol to indicate “starts with” in a filter field? Good idea, though to stop the problems outlined by @Brian how about a lighter-colour asterisk and ellipsis that prepends whatever you type but cannot be removed? *...Query |
