Visually distinguish an index versus a single view To my own fault, this wouldn't really be applicable in our situation. We have clients who want to view large tables full of individual loan deals, and will then want to go to a page to view that deal in greater detail and with logos of the syndicate banks. |

Visually distinguish an index versus a single view Wow, really like this qz link. Awesome idea. Unfortunately for the scope of the project I'm working on, I wouldn't be able to do this. |

Good reasons to use bad UI @Morawski Wikipedia claims that it's the other way around, as far as your charge about urban legends. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY |

Good reasons to use bad UI "using qwerty as an analogy for bad UI is going to influence answers, since changing the keyboard, for most users, would render a computer useless. for a computer manufacturer this would be financial suicide." That's my point. The QWERTY keyboard is a great example for what I'm describing for exactly the reasons you mention. |

Is there a standard “to left justify text and right justify numeric values.” Do you have a source for this? |

Good reasons to use bad UI This kind of restates my question. The QWERTY keyboard is a bad design gone standard. So if I make computers, it's best to make them with non-qwerty keyboards? |

Best way to explain UX Design to someone that isn't tech-savvy That seems to be a better description for a graphic designer than someone who specializes in the experience of a site. |

Icon-only navigation bar for a desktop application? " would increase the cognitive load on new users though where the user may have to do a bit more hunting to find the right area/action for the first couple of uses" Good example of this: Okcupid.com |

Good reasons to use bad UI Agreed, @Ben. One can still be plain and unpretty while still be comfortable, readable, and easily usable. |

Good reasons to use bad UI It's still not clear to me what's wrong with the QWERTY analogy. |

Good reasons to use bad UI Yes, I think you're the only one who gets this. Most of the answers here are about how you can get away with drastic changes, but I'm asking specifically about scenarios when you can't at least not right away. That being understood, the heart of the question is how to discern that. |

Good reasons to use bad UI Hmm, yeah, that's facebook though. I think appealing to Facebook's history is survivor bias. |

Good reasons to use bad UI I agree with @Morawski here. Indeed there was some minimal thought put into the usability of QWERTY, but I haven't seen any evidence that it performs better than Dvorak. |

What's this called and how does it fare from a UI perspective? DEAR GOD. This is one of the worst UIs I've ever seen. |
