Suggestion for long form like an invoice Good point about mandatory field. I'll modify my answer to add a screenshot of how I tackled the same problem. |

'My Account' or 'Your Account'? Are there any other my/your links elsewhere in the site? |

How do I make colour codes learnable? If you implement the necessary backup system for users who are colour blind and that results in the new colour being labelled that should help a bit |

How would I best indicate the required format for a phone number (country + area code) Good point - no reason the server side processing can't detect this too. UX-wise that would be ideal |

Why do ATMs (Cash Machines) display a thank you message for so long? Think about this - when the message shows and he takes his time you're annoyed with him. When the message doesn't show and he feels the need to get the hell out of there he feel pressured by the machine and the bank is guilty by association. They're transferring the hate! Conspiracy! |

Scrollbars in right-to-left layout Excellent question - not one I can answer but like you said most systems seem to keep them in the same place as LTR. I worked on a system which was arabic and the client (arabic speaking) never raised the scrollbars being on the right as an issue. |

Follow button change text after click Sorry - replace the word activate with follow - in both. Having a green tick with unfollow will confuse people! |

Inactive State of buttons, to hide or not to hide…that is the question Very concise - makes me feel like I maybe didn't put enough effort in to my answer now! Upvoted :) |

What is the UI/UX term for in-view content “jumping” up/down due to changes out of view? I think there might have been crossed wired here - the question refers to when out of scope content changes size or shape dynamically causing the in-scope content to also 'shift' without any indication of why |

Display percentage increase/decrease as 110% or +10%? ah, in this case I would certainly go with +10% and -10%. Maybe double the impact with a green/red indicator for increase/decrease respectively. Fails some colourblind tests but it is just supplementary UX and not vital to use |

Drop down list for unknown number of items (can be thousands) Thanks, Ben! As far as implementation goes, if you're using HTML/CSS I think to save having a 'hacky' feel I'd probably have a fake <select> which is actually a bunch of divs and a list or something. If you're going to have mobile users too this isn't perfect as it overrides the native functionality for their device so bear that in mind! Good luck with it! TJ |

Drag n drop on touch devices maybe not duplicate, but very similar to: ux.stackexchange.com/questions/24193/… |

Apple sharing icon the way to go? You know what those chaps are like - check out the legal side first! |

What's the correct UI for displaying actions related to a link without obstructing it? That's easily done using :focus as well as :hover - I always do this as a habit just in case! |

What cues signal an unchecked state? Yeah you raise a very good point - I don't really pay much attention to that though - I mean, we're walking bytes here! But I see your point; it builds up system-wide. |

Touch control of value with high range Yeah you're right that does happen - but you usually end much closer than 0. Not ideal, but better than holding and watching 0.1 become 9999.9! |

how to indicate to click on title for more information I like option 1 thought I feel it suggests a menu will pop out rather than info. Maybe an italic I might be useful as a cross-culture multi-lingual option? |

iOS auto-correct Thank goodness for that I though I was going mental! So it IS a UX fail IMO |

What is the best practice for data table cell content alignment edit - seeing it as a table I realise what you mean now. I still think left alignment is readable enough to the average user though! |
