Notifying users when a paid trial converts to full trial I think you'll be able to get better answers if you also share: A) roughly how much the payment is (I'll be furious if you don't remind me for charging $400, but less so for $4). B) Is it a recurring payment or one-off. C) Roughly how long you think it will take users to familiarise themselves with the system (ie, make a stay/cancel decision). |

In a web app, how do I give explanatory text? The best strategy is likely to be depended on how frequently users will use the system. That is, will they use it on a regular basis (daily), or is it a web app where most of the users will be new to it. |

How to inform user that settings are in localstorage, and apply to this browser only? local storage is the sensible choice if the app supports offline mode. Also, could be the sensible choice for allowing users to quickly try the application without the need to open an account. |

How to inform user that settings are in localstorage, and apply to this browser only? Does the application also offers server sync, or is it purely local storage one? |

Is it necessary to store chat conversation? -"Johnny, Can you cover for Nick next Monday?" -"Sure I can". Wouldn't you want to have this in your chat history if Johnny doesn't show up on Monday? |

Should we show/hide/disable functional buttons based on state? PS, I believe your users will understand if instead of providing a button with a magnifying glass icon and a label saying 'view report 1', you just provide an icon of an eye. |

Data validation warnings while filling fields I'm afraid that now the two other answers combined cover pretty much all I had to share. |

Data validation warnings while filling fields Also, your question implies you validate on blur. Is it of interest to you to hear the benefits of alternatives, or is blur-validation required in your system? |

Data validation warnings while filling fields I don't really get the "submit object data in a blank row at the end of a table". Which table are we talking about and where exactly are the date fields with relation to it? |

Alternatives to selecting valid value from a list of items Pratik, personally if I was facing the same design challenge I would take a completely different approach to yours. I cannot recall ever coming across a system that works similarly to your proposal. The question is how far do we take this? Would you like people to work this problem ground-up, or just to suggest improvements for the current proposal? |

Alternatives to selecting valid value from a list of items And why the choice and the selected item are misaligned? |

Alternatives to selecting valid value from a list of items Also, why do you have to click a link saying click to assign instead of just clicking anywhere in the div will enable the editor. |

Alternatives to selecting valid value from a list of items A few questions: do you really have to always have the options on the right? Can't you just use combo boxes? |

Discard Changes/Cancel behaviour in a web app Also, and I'm being picky here, just notice that the underline for links is considered ugly by many designers. Just look on the links on this page (they do get an underline when you hover over - other then the top tabs, but personally I think the pointer cursor is sufficient) |

Discard Changes/Cancel behaviour in a web app As a side note, I wouldn't use links for actions like cancel simply because it is an action and not really a link. You are thinking in 'programmer terms' here, where your cancel could well be a <a> link to the origin page. But cancel and view 1 are not the same in the view of the user (although both might be links to a page); save and cancel are related in user minds. |

Discard Changes/Cancel behaviour in a web app Given that cancel and discard differ in outcome, I don't see why the styling shouldn't different. More so as there's a different styling to the save button anyway - so I would actually say that a styled save next to a discard link is less consistent than having both styled. |

Right mouse click, choose delete on website I would also consider a sliding editor rather than a dialog - the latter being more fashionable with desktop applications, but not as much with web ones. |

Right mouse click, choose delete on website I'm in much agreement with this view, and would go with option 1 - click = show editor. Just wanted to add that the benefit in having a delete option in the dialog is three-fold: 1) You're saving the space of a button in the toolbar (tiny bit of info for the eye to deal with); 2) Users are two clicks away from deleting something, instead of one (safer, less chance of accidental mouse click); 3) The button on the editor can say 'Delete' where on the toolbar it would normally show 'X'. |

Why did microsoft designers place an arrow at the right top of the windows phone home screen? What would be the UX logic? If you allow me to give a contrasting view: I think it was a stupid decision to put it there and waste all that space below. There are far less wasteful, standard and more composition-attentive solutions to what they were trying to achieve. In other words, Apple UI designers would be laughing seeing this. I'm not working for Apple, but I find it hard to imagine myself looking at this and going 'good idea'. |
