Should a mobile media app lower volume or pause? I like this answer, with the caveat that it depends on what the notification is for. If it is something of utmost importance, then the relative "jarring disruption" of pause-notify-play may be preferable, to make it stand out more. Otherwise, you stand the chance that the notification will bleed into the music and not be noticed. |

How should we prepare users for a site overhaul? Fair enough - a gradual change is probably best. I just wanted to raise the question for you, and for anybody who finds this discussion in a search. |

How should we prepare users for a site overhaul? That makes sense. I was just trying to get a feel of what "everybody" means - 5 people, 500 people? |

How should we prepare users for a site overhaul? Generally speaking, a gradual change as described in most answers below is preferable. However, a lot depends on your user base. How many users are affected, and what is their technical proficiency? Some types of users love new stuff, others will complain. |

Calendar recurrences on the last day of the month I'm guessing your application would not do well with payroll processing companies. |

Can I safely remove search functionality? You may, unfortunately, be at the point of "take it out and see what happens." With such good metrics, and a proven navigation design, I'm assuming that you have good source control practices, so removing (or hiding) it should be readily "undoable." |

How can I distract / entertain people in an app while waiting? +1 for the suggestion, -1 for the productivity it cost me watching it...wait, just one more.... :) |

Combine load and save button into one button? Your first sentence exactly describes the issue - you have to make an assumption on the functionality. |

Is this hard to read? FWIW - I find this color scheme preferable to the original. |

Is this hard to read? @SchroedingersCat: in fact, it took me a couple of times looking at the UI to figure out what was even meant by the "zebra stripes" comment. The only column where they are even enough of a contrast to make a difference is the last one, and since I read left-to-right, I missed that entirely. |

Should date validation allow “091011”? Know your audience. In general, a date picker removes all ambiguity, but if it is an internal data entry application, for instance, where the user will be manually adding a date in a known format, then simply inputing a string of numbers will be much faster for their workflow. |

Should date validation allow “091011”? Wait....I'm not sure I understand your "whatever the heck date you want that to be" comment. Isn't 12/12/12 the same no matter the format, so it should always pass? |

How would you represent “easy”? I agree - decide first on what you are trying to measure, and that may drive the UI. Right vs. Wrong is just common sense, but "easy" just doesn't fit that pattern. |
