Thread:Feedback/Right pop-up suggestion/Gmaxwell (5)

Don't something like 94% of all computer users use a system where the most important menu pops upwards from a button at the bottom? :)

One option might be to make the menu expand 'horizontally' i.e. hitting the button makes the toolbar grow wider... or just ditching the menu and always exposing all the options: it's only reducing the button count by three… more visual clutter vs improved accessibility and obviousness as well as a reduction in the amount of always on javascript page twiddling. The drop-down is currently unusable for me: It fades away just as I move the mouse over to click on the edit button. I end up trying many times and eventually the JS gets backlogged and eventually the menu continues there fading in and out on its own for a while. If we eliminate the gratuitous dancing bologna then this kind of problem becomes impossible.

As Werdna mentioned, the moving the timestamp to the signature line reflects the existing practice. It also follows logically: who wrote this, and when are similar kinds of post meta-data. That doing so reduces wasted space is just gravy.

Any explanation for the link-to button? I still have no clue what thats for…
