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 | |

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 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. | |

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. | |
