comment Should users be directed to a 404 page or a landing page?
@PeterMajeed Well, my second suggestion, then - region/{id}/summary, with region/{id} going to some sort of info page. Think of it this way: {region}/{action}.

comment Should users be directed to a 404 page or a landing page?
Why isn't the summary at region/{id}? I mean, it sort of means "get me region information about {id}", which in your cause means the summary - unless there's another "base" page for each region, in which case, I'd suggest region/{id}/summary, so each level of the URL is still valid.

comment A better condom user experience
@Rahul I believe I've seen glow-in-the-dark ones before... And I'm sure most people have phones that could play the swooshing sound

comment red checkmark vs. a red “X”
+1 largely for the warning symbol. Use what people know. - Neither the check, nor the 'X', make sense here, because the OP is confirming a negative.

comment Is it a good/acceptable practice to combine checkboxes with radio buttons for one question?
@DominikOslizlo It is not typical for checkboxes to clear the other fields - it's also not typical for radios to be clearable at all, which is what your design would require (even if by javascript).

comment Save, Favorite or Star?
@lechlukasz If that's what it says, then I think it's spelled wrong - it should be "starred". "Stared" would indeed be past-tense for "to stare".

comment Should a mobile media app lower volume or pause?
If you're stopping it entirely, there's even a third option: Jump backwards a second or two once you resume, so your brain has a place to pick it back up. 'Tho, this would probably only work well for spoken audio, not music.

comment Forcing users to use a particular pattern for passwords
@phinetune Hollywood logic: Change the password's font! (Actually used in Dollhouse, the password was a Greek "alpha")

comment Is the term 'real-time' understood outside the tech community?
Within the artistic community, collaboration implies creation. It's not necessary to include "creation" in the description (and it does sound awkward as written).

comment Display comments order - best practice
Also, I suspect the answer will be different depending on if the comments are flat or threaded - for example, in threaded comments I often see "newest to oldest" for the root level, and all replies are "oldest to newest".

comment How should you show that an accordion is expanded?
I'm left-handed and prefer them on the left, too

comment How should you show that an accordion is expanded?
+1, I made my comment on the question before seeing this answer. Up+down arrows is visually disorienting (especially when scanning down a list), and putting them on the right makes me want to interpret them as "change to this state" instead of "currently in this state".

comment How should you show that an accordion is expanded?
Personally, the arrows confuse me in every case except "right and down on the left". On the right, I want to interpret it as "change to this state", and up/down is just visually disorienting...

comment Should users be able to zoom in a responsive webdesign?
@Mohit Most (all smartphone?) mobile browsers have pinch-zoom built in, but responsive designs actively disable it because ideally it shouldn't be necessary (which is wrong, as the answers and comments show). It's not being built by the developers.
