| Aug 8, 2015 at 23:52 | comment | added | GreenAsJade | @LindseyD What can you clarify what the alternative nice looking design is. Take a look at Facebook "create an event" dialog for the example that made me come back and complain here. You're on your events page, and you go to create an event. Hang on a minute, what did I put in the description of that last event? Oh crap .. modal. This is a regular frustration. What should that form have taken? (Note that to solve my problem, I not only need to be able to move the dialog, I need to be able to click through a link on the window that initiated it!) | |

| Jul 10, 2015 at 13:23 | comment | added | Mark Amery | Stack Exchange's flag dialog seems like a pretty good example of a modal that is usefully movable; it lets me see the post I'm flagging, so that I can refresh my memory about details or quote snippets as I'm writing a message to the mods. What would the anti-movable-modal crowd suggest SE should do instead? Make the modal unmovable? That would hurt my use case and serve no purpose. Display the entire dialog inline somewhere? That would blur the line between the dialog and the rest of the page. The anti-movable answers here are big on generalities but so far all devoid of concrete examples. | |

| Jul 9, 2015 at 4:03 | comment | added | Lindsey D | I'm surprised by the amount of support for movable modals. A modal is supposed to feel like an interruption, with only the ability to move forward or cancel. Anything beyond that is probably a bad use-case for a modal. | |
