What's the term for expanding search results to include variations of a word? Hi @Grace, I can see you're new to the site. If you think an answer is correct, mark it as 'accepted' by clicking the tick mark on the left hand side. This earns you reputation! |

What's a good way to use text over a picture? I thought the example was the lettering on the t-shirt at first... |

How to give users feedback about rejected input? @Mohit The photos are taken in Macro mode, in which focus is fixed to the nearest point, it's up to the user to position the camera so that the object is in focus. |

How to give users feedback about rejected input? @JonW The whole raison d'être is that we can pre-check before uploading! |

How to give users feedback about rejected input? Unfortunately, our pre-processing takes too long to do in real-time. Adopting this approach would drop the preview frame-rate to about 0.5 fps, arguably worse UX. |

How to give users feedback about rejected input? @AndroidHustle It's automatic. It takes a couple of seconds, so can't happen in real time. I can't elaborate as to what we're doing I'm afraid, but if the pre-check fails, the server-side processing will fail. |

Why do large websites redirect away from their 'pretty' urls? I'd always wondered what all that gunk is in the gmail url, very enlightening! |

How can you indicate a hidden button on the back of a device? My problems with the iMac were probably due to not being the person who got it out of the box. All of these suggestions (bar the last) only work for the initial users, not any subsequent ones! |

'My Account' or 'Your Account'? @TJH No, not yet, but I'll be using the same throughout. |

Where should I put my 'desktop site' link? @jeroen cough stackexchange cough. They're mostly good, which makes the omissions in the the mobile ui all the more annoying. |

How do you make users vote objectively and not from emotions? Step one: Don't use emotive language like "like". Google's "+1" or reddit's upvote is much more likely to result in objective voting. |

Why do progress bars animate backwards? @geekpanth3r I didn't, someone else made it and added it to the question later on. I'm pretty sure they made it manually. |

Defining relationships between many users in one UI? Is there any reason why you need to be able to see all the connections at once? |

How can I guard against users accidentally sending emails without attachments? @TheQuestion You could use a regex, but then you'd have two problems. |

Could scaring users be good UX? I think if we added @GlenLipka's dialogs, we'd end up with users asking for a config option to turn them off... |

Could scaring users be good UX? This model isn't really appropriate here, as there are a huge number of config options (>50), a lot of which are harmless. Also, a lot of them would want to be tweaked a lot, so this approach would be rather heavy and frustrating for a lot of our users. |

How can I guard against users accidentally sending emails without attachments? I'm aware of this, but this relies on a keyword filter which has a fairly light touch in my experience! |
