Why do email subject appear before body? Yes, but why are you expected to write the subject first? OK, it helps identify the email contents to the recipient, but this question is more about the actual authoring of the email itself. |

How is the R programming language used in UX research? This is more of a discussion topic than a question with an actual answer, and I'm afraid the stackexchange site model doesn't really fit well with discussion type questions as there's not correct answer to such questions. You can find out more about this in our FAQ. |

BBC.co.uk & USA Today Hi Ad. Sorry, but these sort of posts aren't really what StackExchange sites are for. From our FAQ page: You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page. |

Resources on Distinguishable Colors? Closed this as a duplicate, although really it was likely to be closed as Not Constructive because it's not a UX problem you're having, you just want to know about what apps / websites / products are available to do a certain task. That's more of a shopping request not a solvable UX issue with a correct answer. |

Combine Rows by drag n drop Sorry, but we'll have to close this off then I'm afraid. ux.stackexchange is a site for trying to find out what the most suitable solution is to a problem. As you have stated you already know the solution. A question requesting some examples isn't the sort of question that has a correct answer, and therefore doesn't really fit this kind of site. See the about page as this is covered on there. If you want some advice about what this drag and drop functionality should do then feel free to ask that here as that is more suited to this site. |

Combine Rows by drag n drop What exactly are you wanting, is it just some examples? That's not really suited to a Q&A format I'm afraid as we need questions that can be explicitly answered. Also, I'm not sure this is a User Experience question as it appears you already know what it is you want to do but just don't know how to do it. Is it the actual implementation advice you're after? |

Should I clear out placeholder text onfocus or ontype? I think you're wrong here. It's not called Watermark, it's Placeholder as it's an HTML5 attribute. Also, you've only partially answered the question as you haven't explained when it is appropriate to use it. Also, your answer reads as just your own opinion. Why do you say the watermark (placeholder) has to go when the user starts typing but not on focus? |

Do multiple attribute navigations meet information seekers needs Hi brakes. Asking for lists of examples doesn't really work in a Q&A site as there is no correct answer to such questions. Can you rephrase the question so you're just stating the problem and looking for a particular solution to it? Examples may come out supporting different answers, but just listing examples themselves isn't really suited to Q&A sites. |

how to manage big web based projects Ux.stackexchange is for User Experience questions, not project management ones. I'll have to close this post as it is not on topic for this site. Have a read of the about page for info about what this site is about. |

Best practices for attracting users to a new social media based site This isn't a User Experience question, as far as I can tell. How to market a website or how to launch a site isn't part of ux, that is just marketing. |

ajax vs button(action) submission for configuration/option settings I understand the frustration with this being closed, but it's not just the people below who believe it's a duplicate - this question has been flagged by other users too stating the same thing (although such flags aren't visible to non-moderators / <10K users). |

ajax vs button(action) submission for configuration/option settings This is still the same question as the linked dupe, as far as I can tell. You're also asking several extra questions too, which aren't really answerable ("are there any respected blogs/sites". "Is this a trend..." "latest schools of thought from the "World of UX" thinkers"- these aren't specific practical answerable questions which this site is designed for). I think that if you want more / better answers on the linked question then adding a bounty on the linked question is preferable so that answers aren't split across multiple very similar posts. |

Asking for multiple postal addresses While you may be right about condensing the form to the most basic fields most of this doesn't really answer the question about how to ask for multiple addresses. The only part of your answer that does address this is just a one-liner 'Make Address 1 editable and once the address is completed (or not), collapse the form and leave the address apparent.'. Can you expand on this point? That's really what the question is looking for. |

Shades of Green for age status Good answer, although I would also want to say that even Red and Green don't always mean the same things across cultures. China takes Red as meaning 'good luck and prosperity', or it's also associated with Communism in Russia for instance. Know your target audience when applying meaning to colours. |

What should a System Icon look like? Hi apurvrdx. Sorry, but we're not really the site for requesting icon suggestions. As per our FAQ these are off-topic for the site. You may get some useful advice on this question: "How do you create or select an icon for a feature?" but I'm afraid that we can't help you out with creating or suggesting icons for you. |

Should every page in a site have a totally unique H1? @3nafish this answer was left back in 2010 and the site was a bit different back then. It's not really worth asking for 3 year old posts to be improved as its unlikely they will do so after all that time. |

For those who design mobile sites. Which software do you use? You can search the tools tag on this site to see previous questions that might help you out, or you can visit our User Experience Chat site to see what people in there can suggest if that helps you out. |

For those who design mobile sites. Which software do you use? It's a valid question, but not really valid for this site I'm afraid. As a Q&A site we need questions that have explicit (or at least theoretical) correct answers. This question doesn't have a correct answer, you'll just get answer with people saying 'I Use Balsamiq' or 'I Use Axure'. All valid points but none of them are correct, and because of that such questions don't really work in this Q&A format I'm afraid. Also, the general 'what is the process' is far too broad to be able to answer in a single post here I'm afraid. You're a bit too wide in scope. |

Is there a name for a “search” box which does more than just search? +1 for citing a source for this term |

Which is the best UX Mobile OS Asking 'which is best' is not a constructive question for a Q&A site I'm afraid. It's very subjective. A stack exchange blog post was written about such questions that you can read here: blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/08/gorilla-vs-shark |
