Feb 8, 2022 at 17:37 comment added ColleenV @AnitaTaylor Thanks for following up. I prefer the options being self-explanatory over a popover. My initial impression of the new design is very good.

Switched all headers down one for accessibility
Feb 8, 2022 at 17:29 comment added Anita Taylor StaffMod @ColleenV We decided to go with a different implementation that won't use the info icon. But I confirmed with our designers that in general info icons do work on touch devices, as they are tied to a click event

Added an update to direct users to a new post
Feb 7, 2022 at 23:13 comment added Steve Bennett @AncientSwordRage Yes, there's an implicit "[Most] recently updated". I don't think it would be confusing in practice.

Feb 7, 2022 at 9:03 comment added AncientSwordRage @stevebennett if the last update is 10 years ago, that's not very recent
Feb 7, 2022 at 6:41 comment added Marco Bonelli "We are moving it so that it appears underneath that header." - the site currently feels infinite to scroll through, why increase its height again and again and again? This only adds unnecessary height and is a waste of available screen space.
Feb 7, 2022 at 5:32 comment added Steve Bennett "Recently updated" would be much clearer than "Last updated" IMHO. Something about the word "last" always seems ambiguous, whereas "recently" is extremely clear. (When I hear "last updated" I subconsciously think, the one that was updated the longest ago, even though it's the opposite of that.)

Feb 4, 2022 at 19:43 comment added Andrew Morton You know what a moany lot we are, so perhaps more than a mere five days for feedback to settle down to some median would be useful.

Feb 3, 2022 at 7:35 comment added Shadow Wizard @Catija no. It's clearly written here: "Votes will be changed to Score." Note the "will be changed". In the future, after the "Please provide feedback no later than Friday Feb. 4, 2022". And this is just wrong, aka not true, that's why I'm upset. Changes just keep happening without any notice, some changes are good, but some are not good.

Feb 2, 2022 at 18:22 comment added Random Person @Catija Thanks a lot for featuring this post 😊
Feb 2, 2022 at 18:16 comment added Catija Staff @ShadowWizardHatesOmicron This was a matter of fulfilling a long-standing feature request - both from like 2011 and recently on the new questions list view design. This post isn't an announcement of that change, it was written knowing that the changes from "votes" to "score" were already in progress. We don't generally make announcements when we're responding to a feature request.

Feb 2, 2022 at 17:52 comment added Random Person Anita, what about the last time for sending feedback? Should we consider it as 23:59:59 UTC Feb 4th?
Feb 2, 2022 at 9:05 comment added Shadow Wizard I see "Votes" were already changed to "Score". While I'm not against the change, I really fail to understand why you announce something, say it will be done in few days, when actually it is already done. I don't like this behavior, sorry.

Jan 31, 2022 at 18:58 comment added 0Valt As a bit of feedback on the placement of the sorting button group: maybe instead of pushing it to the new row (which will likely be done with fd-column class and removal of the ai-center class + one of the g[N] classes for a vertical gap), which looks a bit strange as it is not supported by the current layout of the page (the left side looks visually "heavier" than the right), maybe just inverse the order of the button group and the "N answers" element? This would preserve the one-line layout and visually balance the page while keeping the benefit of the "all actions are to the left"
Jan 31, 2022 at 18:42 comment added 0Valt This is amazing news, Anita! The "newest" sort option was sorely needed, and the "votes" -> "score" change is a welcome improvement too. It is also nice to see that the changes are approached with research behind them and with advance notice - something I came to expect from the team - keep it up (can't be grumpy all the time)!
Jan 31, 2022 at 18:41 comment added Kevin B I assume it's because they expect the menu to get larger, want to add the "Info" bit, and that makes it a bit too much on that line for mobile... and we can't have it adjust back to a layout convenient to desktop
Jan 31, 2022 at 18:39 comment added TylerH Why is the alignment of the buttons changing on the page? If it is for visibility/attention, why not just make the active sort option more colorful rather than grayscale?

Jan 31, 2022 at 18:27 comment added Kevin B @AncientSwordRage if that's not what people want to see, then they should have been pleasantly surprised that it's not that way. I find it absurd that people even left that feedback.
Jan 31, 2022 at 18:27 comment added AncientSwordRage @KevinB because that's not what everyone want to see, and I don't think it's helpful if you are focused on question content. Plus you then need to handle deleted comments.

Jan 31, 2022 at 17:19 comment added ColleenV Thank you for using an info icon instead of a tooltip you have to hover over the text to see. I'm assuming I can poke that icon on my touch devices to see the popover?

Jan 31, 2022 at 16:54 comment added Larnu "Last edited" feels like a poor choice for a sort order, in my opinion. It would, at least to me, imply that an answer that has never been edited should be sorted last, regardless of how "new" it is. I can't see that being particularly helpful. If that isn't the wanted order, then "edited" isn't the right keyword, in my opinion, as "edit" has a specific meaning within the communities.
