| Jun 27, 2019 at 17:47 | comment | added | Brian Nickel StaffMod | With regards to (6) improving the site relevance of chat rooms and (7) showing all comments in the context of the flagging UI, they both have merit and could/should be implemented, but are too big for the scope of this project. Could you open them as a separate meta question with the flag-dashboard and moderator-tools tags? Things have improved per your comment where the post title will take you to the flagged answer, as will its expander arrow. | |
| Jun 27, 2019 at 17:42 | comment | added | Brian Nickel StaffMod | Several parts of your request have been implemented. (1) All sidebar content is available on narrow screens, with the "table of contents" appearing above the flags and everything else below, (2/4) the checkbox is now in the TOC sidebar, this not particularly helpful for you but at least it's a single UI element to skip over. (3) The whitespace has hopefully proven to be enough, it's about the same as the spacing on the old UI. (5) The fading is a lot more subtle and provide distinction without breaking readability. | |
| Jun 1, 2019 at 13:58 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @BrianNickel (7) For comments on an answer, to see the context on the same page, I need to expand the answer, then expand the comments. This was true with the old UI, but it's worse now because the click target for expanding the answer is now a subelement of the question box, with a bigger click target that expands the question. To click through to the page, I now need to click on the word “Answered” to go directly to the answer, whereas before I had the whole question title to click on (now the question title brings me to the top of the page). The new UI is slightly worse for comments. | |
| Jun 1, 2019 at 13:41 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @BrianNickel Thanks. For (3), it's better, but still not as clear as it used to be, with a horizontal line between flagged posts and no horizontal line inside a given flagged post's space. The new everything-in-a-box design gives a cluttered look and doesn't help to get a view of items on the page in relation to each other. | |

| May 30, 2019 at 20:38 | comment | added | Brian Nickel StaffMod | (7) Comment flagging has improved in that it is now consistent with the post UI and consistent with the post page (same editor, no confirmation prompt, comments deleted in the post UI disappear from the flagging UI and vice versa), but there's not yet a one-click way to see all flags in context outside of the embedded post preview. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 20:35 | comment | added | Brian Nickel StaffMod | (6) Both those chat rooms are moderator-only and show up the same across all sites. It seems reasonable that the list be Teachers Lounge + site-specific. I'll put that on the list for CoGro's input. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 20:31 | comment | added | Brian Nickel StaffMod | (5) It's greyed out because it's a visited post. We didn't really visit how to change this, but another moderator mentioned that knowing it was visited was important, so I'll mark it for review. I'm guessing the post got marked as viewed when you expanded the post. This is existing behavior since it counts that as the moderator viewing the post. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 20:17 | comment | added | Brian Nickel StaffMod | (3) I'm throwing in some extra whitespace as a stopgap. Moving the flag actions down and darkening the header was intended to create an enclosure around around the content, but it sounds like it's not fully having the desired effect. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 20:15 | comment | added | Brian Nickel StaffMod | (2/4) The placement of the checkbox isn't something we visited in our first pass, but we can review it. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 20:14 | comment | added | Brian Nickel StaffMod | That's a lot so I'm gonna attack it piecemeal: (1) full sidebar appears above content on narrow browsers: We have a standard practice of moving the sidebar inline with the document contents at the medium width breakpoint (I wanna say 780px). I had it appear above because the table of contents bit seems important and I did the help text because it seemed less important. We actually do something on sites like judaism.stackexchange.com where we move some sidebar content up and the rest down. I'll try that here. | |
