Mar 8	answered	Is it better to have more than one way to navigate to functionality or only one way?
Mar 8	comment	Tri-state checkbox: Which state should be selected after clicking? Thanks @Peter! With #1 I tend to disagree, I think that it harms the perceived consistency of the app - for one folder all checked children will mean a checked parent, but not for another - based on whether they were checked "top-down" or "bottom-up". That logic requires quite a big mental effort and a bit of actual research work from the user to understand it. #2 is great, and #3 is very interesting - I wasn't going to let them get back to "mixed" (mx->ch->unch->ch->unch), but now I'm thinking - why not? The only problem is with the new items which didn't exist in the original mixed state.
Mar 7	comment	Tri-state checkbox: Which state should be selected after clicking? @Charles thanks for your input.
Mar 7	comment	Tri-state checkbox: Which state should be selected after clicking? @Charles, this approach might - just might - hold up on websites that are simple, intended for the masses, and can afford no learning curve. When designing systems for trained professionals, who deal with large amounts of data organized in deep hierarchies with complex relationships between them, you can't afford sticking to the simplest solution. Complicated tasks require sophisticated tools, otherwise they become still much more complicated and unclear.

Mar 6	comment	Is text-transform uppercase frustrating when used in input form fields A good example are the US State codes. They are always displayed in all caps (NY, CA, FL...), and if the user typed them in lower-case characters, they should still be displayed in upper-case, but that change should be implemented after the field lost focus.

Mar 4	comment	Looking for some ideas of for an alternative display of Full Name@Company Name IMHO this contains too much formatting/"special characters". They're overweighing the text itself and it begins to look like code syntax.
Mar 4	comment	Looking for some ideas of for an alternative display of Full Name@Company Name It can be nice in very short lists, but I'd say that already at about five items it becomes annoying and difficult to read.
