Nov 12, 2018 at 6:08 comment added BlueWizard Don't fill in data you're not somewhat certain of. For example should the default laat name be "Smith"? No! Most People would need to manually remove it since (even tho maybe is's a common name/birthyear) it's not the name/birthyear of >50 % of your userbase.
Oct 22, 2018 at 12:46 comment added Wtower I can only imagine the face of the filling-form guy who has indeed been born on Oct 18 1993.
Oct 22, 2018 at 6:58 comment added Oscar Bravo @Antzi Amen to that! Assuming that one country maps to one language is stupid - I speak English and live in a French-speaking region, but because the country happens to be Switzerland, PayPal sends everything to me in German...

Oct 19, 2018 at 10:46 comment added UX Labs @Cubic i forgot to highlight i am referring to mobile apps in this case, web forms are easier to fill in anyway
Oct 19, 2018 at 10:43 comment added Cubic Please don't attempt to autofill forms by guessing. Modern browsers already do it better as long as you keep your forms in a sane format.
Oct 19, 2018 at 3:25 comment added Antzi guess the country from the IP address NO NO NO Use the HTTP headers for that, because they show the user desired language and not an increasingly inaccurate location. May I also remind you that different countries can have different languages ?

Oct 16, 2018 at 10:32 comment added Paul Smith +1 plus tell the user the advantages to them of having an account with you. If you can't come up with any advantages, don't demand an account.
Oct 15, 2018 at 6:21 comment added VLAZ do i need to ask for the full birthday? perhaps it's some sort of statistical anomaly but a lot of services that ask for that information attract disproportionate amount of people born on the 1st of January.
Oct 15, 2018 at 1:55 comment added Michael Lai +1 nice breakdown of some very relevant issues and well explained. Any good screenshots or examples to go with it? :)
