Why does the Xbox controller have non-symmetrical analog sticks? @KoenLageveen - I couldn't find a natural split for the paragraphs, I don't add images unless they illustrate anything meaningful and I certainly don't like the habit of randomly formatting words as bold. This community already has serious problems with rewarding obvious answers to easy questions - actively rejecting more complete answers because their detail makes them (marginally) harder to read takes us from bad to worse. |

Why does the Xbox controller have non-symmetrical analog sticks? I'm not complaining about this answer (it's correct), or JohnGB (who writes good answers), but I don't understand why this answer gets up votes, whereas mine (which says the same thing and more) doesn't receive any at all. |

Why does the Xbox controller have non-symmetrical analog sticks? Really this is more an industrial design question than a UX one. |

How to inform a designer to use a grid for responsive CSS? This sounds like a query for graphic designers, not UX folk. |

Card sort with 'Don't know' group The OP said he's running an open sort, so the users will already be defining the category names. |

Why does Skype's “x” button minimize the application instead of closing? @AnkitSharma - firstly, the name - Sky Peer to Peer - is a clue, but secondly, take a look at this (zdnet.com/blog/networking/how-skype-does-and-doesnt-work/1051) article for a comprehensive (though somewhat alarmist) summary. |

Colours to use in a fashion website @StewartDean - could there be ways to achieve the three "benefits" of black and white schemes I mentioned without having to stick to monochrome, though? |

Colours to use in a fashion website @StewartDean - you are, of course, assuming that it's more valuable to communicate the identity of the site than immediately express its purpose. Depending on your objectives, though, that assumption might be incorrect. |

Colours to use in a fashion website @Elmar - that's impossible to say without knowing what content you're revealing on hover, what the use case is and what clues you've provided that the content exists. I fear you may be thinking the question is much simpler than it actually is. |

Colours to use in a fashion website @JohnGB - yes, but visual design questions can be answered in much the same way as UX questions - by considering a use case, a viewer and what the organisation hopes to communicate. |

How should we prepare users for a site overhaul? @georgiosd - updating the UI of the old application is probably just going to duplicate the work that you do (I assume you are swapping out frontend as well as backend), and isn't likely to do much good for users besides (they just have to reorient themselves several times, as their heuristics for acting on recognizable UI components will get trashed every few weeks). I would suggest providing users a preview of the new app in the form of mockups and images initially (or static prototypes if possible), and make sure the new version's splash page shows where old, common task have been moved. |
