comment Responsive web vertical scrolling design and elements
Because most carousels work with absolute positioning, you would need to change it by modifying the javascript. It's not difficult to do, but if you haven't worked with js you will need help. You would be replacing the fixed widths the carousel calculates for dynamic ones based on the current size of the window. But it is something that can be done, so there's no problem combining carousels with responsive design. And there are some plugins that are ready for responsive too.

comment What's the cleanest option for a loading indicator in a login dialog?
You are right, it is taking way more than it should, around 3 or 4 seconds. I'm just doing the design, but I know the developers are wondering about this, and will eventually decrease the time.

comment What's the cleanest option for a loading indicator in a login dialog?
When the program loads I actually use a loading bar, but instead of one whose color grow, I use a full color one with stripes that move to the right. That way it's both at the same time: a loading bar, and a spinner :)

This is the best option for me because I am in fact designing for a Microsoft Partner. Activity pointers seems to be the best approach. Thanks.

comment How does individual vs pluralistic language affect community?
@enderland You alone know the scope of your project. "Keep it honest and consistent" (with your brand / idea) seems like a good answer to me.

comment Should personal data be asked at the beginning or end of an online survey
Once you finish the survey, leaving your personal details could be optional. "Thank you for filling our survey. Would you like to participate in our draw? Leave us your email address".

comment Does a text editor on a dark interface need to use a black page?
Thanks for your answer. About the other programs using a white page, I meant almost all of the people who will be using the program are very used to word processors, but have hardly used a black page (we are terribly used to, with so much coding).

comment Best way to add extra information to a log table?
Great answer, just one tiny tiny thing in the last image: If you align the pages vertically and make them the same size, it looks like the input and output are entering/leaving from the same place

comment How does “upload an image” behave in a Responsive Design environment?
This would be better suited for stackoverflow. I'd say it probably depends on how the plugin is written, but in the last responsive web app I did, we left mobile out because it wasn't done automatically.

comment How can I keep up-to-date with the latest thinking about designing complex, rich applications?
I always keep an eye on what Google is doing. I think it works as an example of complex applications functioning together.

comment how to indicate 'what a venue is like right now'
Then you don't need a thumb down, you only need the thumb up or similar 'positive' icon.

comment how to indicate 'what a venue is like right now'
The main goal of your app is for users to say if they would find it interesting or not?

comment Is coffee a good excuse for a slow application start-up time?
I don't drink coffee and I'd say 40% of my co-workers don't either, maybe it's a regional bias, but it's enough to make me feel alienated and disgruntled :P

comment Is coffee a good excuse for a slow application start-up time?
I couldn't find any for software. But there are lots of resources for web response time, and they might have elements in common (example strongeye.com/blog/2012/6/15/…)

comment What is the name of this UI message element/dialog?
If I had to do a search I would definitely use "html tooltip"

comment Which one has more career opportunities: web usability or web accessibility?
They are closely related, if not the same. I can't imagine doing accessibility without usability, and no project has perfect usability without accessibility.

I think you should ask this in graphicdesign.stackexchange.com instead.

comment How to display a family tree in a horizontal timeline
It's not impossible if you can show/hide elements depending on what the user is looking for. If all information is available at the same time, then everything has the same importance. You mentioned events, so maybe they should be the focus. If you can add some interaction then it's perfectly possible.

Is this going to be a website/webapp?
