Crap</a>. I got terrible feedback as you can clearly see it is horrible. I recently got a chance to redesign this site and I have my mock up ready, what do you think about this? <a href="http://trucksmart.mclaughlinit.com/">Version... Better?</a> </p> http://forum.usabilitypost.com/topic.php?id=2#post-3 Sat, 02 Jan 2010 20:17:28 +0000 Dmitry Fadeyev 3@http://forum.usabilitypost.com/ <p>Happy new year and welcome to the forums everyone! :) </p> http://forum.usabilitypost.com/topic.php?id=38#post-149 Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:13:53 +0000 spencerdrager 149@http://forum.usabilitypost.com/ <p><a href="http://www.usabilitypost.com/2008/08/30/usability-tip-use-verbs-as-labels-on-buttons/" rel="nofollow">http://www.usabilitypost.com/2008/08/30/usability-tip-use-verbs-as-labels-on-buttons/</a></p> <p>I just stumbled upon this old post with comments closed, and wanted to comment and open up a discussion.</p> <p>While the comments were in the majority in support of using verbs for labels on buttons, I strongly disagree.</p> <p>The problem with using verbs is it makes the choices non-standard. Now each different dialogue box will have different choices, requiring the user to read the buttons to choose the right action. </p> <p>With three standardized options: Yes, No, and Cancel, you already know the options and can choose as soon as you know the question. And half the time you already know the question.</p> <p>The Mac dialogue box is superior for first-time users, perhaps, for it is more verbose in describing the situation. But for the veteran user, verbose is BAD.</p> <p>Case in point, the new Windows 7 copy-replace dialogue box, which comes up when moving a file to a folder where that file name already exists. It describes in detail the problem, but it is too much, and requires me to read the options each time. Poor design. </p> http://forum.usabilitypost.com/topic.php?id=491#post-660 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:35:03 +0000 agnes15 660@http://forum.usabilitypost.com/ <p>Hello </p> <p>I have a website called stylish-jewellery, The website is one year old, but I find it hard to sell directly from my website.</p> <p>I sell the same products at Amazon (start few months ago) and i am happy with the sales there.

I'll also set up a my recommended reading list soon. At the moment everything posted there will not show up on the normal RSS feed (the first book review might have slipped through as I was tweaking the setting). </p> <p>Do you think maybe it should all be in one feed -- or is a separate feed better for this? </p> http://forum.usabilitypost.com/topic.php?id=26#post-109 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:47:56 +0000 stugoo 109@http://forum.usabilitypost.com/ <p>Anyone have a particular favorite form layout style they care to share? </p> http://forum.usabilitypost.com/topic.php?id=487#post-646 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 12:06:44 +0000 ip numarası 646@http://forum.usabilitypost.com/ <p>I create a layout for my web site and i prefer simple css based design for usability.

The application contains plenty of data which is both user-input and integrated from other Data Bases.<br /> I'm having a hard time finding a design technique to show all of this data to the users. I tried graphs, trees, sphere and more, and couldn't find anything that will satisfy my users.<br /> Each and every group of them wants to see certain pieces of the data, shown differently. Some of them, the managers usually, want to see it all in an overview, some in detail. Havoc.<br /> Do you have any suggestions or tips of design practices for IT apps?<br /> Thanks. </p> http://forum.usabilitypost.com/topic.php?id=15#post-55 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 11:17:40 +0000 stugoo 55@http://forum.usabilitypost.com/ <p>Hi guys, I'm currently working in front end development and am looking to cross over into UXD, I'm not sure what the best steps to take are.</p> <p>I have a couple of ideas for projects that are total pipe dreams.

I mean this kind of layz load like <a href="http://www.shayhowe.com/web-design/designing-call-to-action/" rel="nofollow">http://www.shayhowe.com/web-design/designing-call-to-action/</a> uses for loading images. I think that way it makes loading time shorter, and make it more usability.</p> <p>I have seen also sites which loads all the elements by this kind of lazy load. It is little bit hard to know how long the page is and so on, when using this kind of lazy loading.</p> <p>What do you think about this kind of lazy loading, and do I have the right term for that? </p> http://forum.usabilitypost.com/topic.php?id=478#post-619 Thu, 13 May 2010 23:51:39 +0000 DamienV 619@http://forum.usabilitypost.com/ <p>Hi there,<br /> I'm a beginner in designing user interface.<br /> Could someone advise me a good software that would allow me to design the interfaces of an application...
