red checkmark vs. a red “X” @JohnGB, ok, I took it to mean that you were saying that the overall alert column was redundant to the serious violation column. |

red checkmark vs. a red “X” How is "overall alert" redundant when rows that are not serious violations also have alerts? |

Is it a bad idea to use grey buttons? The buttons still look clickable. For the disabled state, the buttons should turn flat, and the text color should change as well. |

Help menu - “?” or “Help”? The shortcut for help is, and should always be F1. |

Should progress bars show percentage you could label the top as 100 so that users are cued in to the idea that the number shown is X out of 100. |

Humor on the deathbed @AustinHenley, I think this one's more to the point. |

How many users must be tested when doing usability, and why? While the article is good, it's quite possible that it will disappear with link rot, so it would be good to highlight the key points of the article in your answer. As it stands, this is a comment, not an answer. |

How to better name modal buttons “Cancel Request” (submit), “Cancel” (cancel)? @Lothar_K, to be fair, this was asked months ago, whereas the linked one was asked yesterday. |

What explains the current shift from glossy UIs to matte UIs? This would be a good question for Graphic Design as well. |

Showing progress for a long many-step process with a discrete progress bar? do you know which steps take longer than others? If so, make them proportionally larger in the progress bar to show that the step takes a larger proportion of the progress. In particular this makes me think of the Dominos pizza tracker |

Sorting tables after multiple columns @André, yes, that contrived example would be better off with searching. A better example would be the time tracking system I use (which unfortunately doesn't have multi-sort). Tasks are line items in a table, and I quite frequently want to sort tasks based on what project they belong to (FooBar) followed by the task name (setup). |

Sorting tables after multiple columns @ADOConnection, it's a v not a w. I often find myself looking through large databases where I want to find things. Sorting by date can often be helpful (find an article that was published on 1/2/03), but when there are a 100+ results, it's more helpful to be able to sort on date and type (find a "foo" article published on 1/2/03). |

Sorting tables after multiple columns I cannot begin to count how many times I've needed to sort tables of data on multiple columns. |

Controls on moving controls? I certainly hope you aren't trying to turn and mess with the radio at the same time. Distracted driving leads to countless accidents each year. |

Is Apple's or Google's meaning of the three-horizontal-bar icon more popular? If you use windows, you've been using 3 bars to drag things for a long time. |
