Drawer Navigation vs. Drop Down Menus the rationalizing of the drawer as a "roadsign" is somewhat strange. If you are scripting the drawer/ mega nav to display a breadcrumb when not being interacted with, sure. But if a user is expected to interact with the drawer to simply "figure out where they are in the site" - then the site has much greater usability issues than simply "drop down or drawer" discussion. |

Drawer Navigation vs. Drop Down Menus Revisiting this - this is counter intuitive to what navigation interaction is : A Change of Context. Why would you want to suggest to a user that their navigation is secondary to what you "want" them to see? In practice this approach (obela's) is not really better nor worse but rather confusing - if you "make space" in the dom - it should be to provide modal information --- not to "let a user scroll after they got lazy" - i have 135 characters left from here: All interactions should benefit discovery - trying to salvage content does not fit into that unless that content is targeted. |

Small form, big page These comments are ridiculous (Sam Pierce's is fine - and i +1 it.). Ok @ Mike M : How do you acquire these "widgets" (i use that term because they are an amalgamation of data and design - quote me on that one ) ? Do you have other options for parsing data or are these "portlets you put on a portal template?" the prior or the later - dont matter I have suggestions but it's important to understand what you are working with |

Small form, big page Lookchin might have finesse of language deficit. JonW - Youtube and Twitter... do you actually understand WHY they are apps instead of simply websites? Chris N - good comment :) |

Updating users data from a different system and presenting this to them when does the check occur? Will you be producing a "incongruent match found" list ? When does the match / check occur? |

Are HTTP error codes user-friendly? I feel this answer doesn't acknowledge the importance of a graceful 500 or 403 - or any other thrown code : there is significance in the issue and honesty is "an important policy" - a well handled and acknowledged system error is at least marginally comforting to the user insofar as their experience is not a silo of isolation but rather it's known and being corrected, actively. .,/2cents |

Are Mailing list popups bad usability I'm a humble man. Max wins simply for his concise questioning of goals i beat around several bushs for : Simply ask your client if they are willing to lose users at this step in hopes of collecting more email addresses. |

How can I differentiate Client-side vs. Server-side filters to the user? I disagree with this statement, Tims : "Better is to construct you UI in such a way that the first filter is always automaticaly server side then all subsequent filters are automaticaly client side." --- if we're talking thousands of complex records - this is a really silly (im being gracious) approach and it should not be assumed that the enduser client (think wonky old pc) can handle that sort of memory burden without being a significant detriment to the user experience ----- sure it would work - but it wouldn't be "the best idea" |

Standard notation for describing UI This is perfect assuming business unit cohesiveness. My current designer presents it as such and as comical as it sounds : Its like a romp through a flower garden when I get a spec like this. Its not "perfect css" but its communicative of typography, graphical elements, etc... I need to by my designer a beer i guess - this post just reminded me how much of a boon he has been <3 |

Drawer Navigation vs. Drop Down Menus And if we're really smart - we could do the dropdowns, and eat our cake -- simply put, drop down menus "un" work if the scripting agent takes into consideration the common actions of "humanity" ---- that being said, the "drawers" option is "easier(for both the programmer and the designer and the user - i guess "both" is now invalidated haha ) and contemporary still" - but the burden of UX lies in how you determine if and when: a user is "off" the navigation and for that simple reason alone; your (as you labeled them) "drawers" are a better design |
