Thread:Feedback/Some usability feedback/reply (2)

concerning: - "Start a new discussion" - "Search terms:" - "Sorting order:"

these three items are unrelated to each other and should be segragrated in the display somehow in order to clearify such - to avoid confusion / via association. each could also be renamed to help the user's understanding.

- "Start a new discussion" - could read "Start a new thread" instead - "Search terms:" - could read "Search threads" - "Sorting order:" - could be "Sort threads"

improved placement - maybe keeping "Start a new.." in the same box as the "Search ..." (as they do relate somewhat in that you want a user to search before starting a new one that might already exist), but align one to the left and the other to the right - maybe keep "Search ..." on the left and then have all the way to the right side "Start new ..."

"Sort ..." should not be grouped with those two options - instead it should appear more associated with the thead list - maybe placing the "Sort ..." option directly above the thread list would work - it could even be aligned to the right on the same line as the header for the threads ("Contents")

finally the header for the theads, "Contents" could be renamed "Thread index" / "Threads" / "List of Threads" /or even something like "Threads for %%TITLE%%" where %%TITLE%% is dynamically replaced by what the threads relate to (article/item/category/whatever-etc.)
