Talk:Flow/Design/Iteration 2

spage feedback
Please crop or highlight the mockups to only show what's different, it's hard to tell what's different.


 * "Board:User name" will that really be the name, with a new namespace and a new tab? Are we going to rename the talk namespace, or is this as an alternative to the Talk namespace?
 * Perhaps you should be optimistic and use the Jon Robson font changes (serif headings, gray left-hand nav) in mockups
 * Besides Active | My mentions | Search, is there an "All" state for the top line?
 * Lot of gray in the topic header, and it feels unbalanced. A bit too much gray space above ( I like a 45-degree line from the top-left corner to the top-left of the first heading character), and too much leading after the small text.
 * The topic header lacks "Last modified about 13 days ago", there's enough room next to 3 participants * 10 conversations to show it all the time.
 * The inset [Hide] button is interesting, it should be more Agora-button-like (and the Agora spec should detail the hover/click states for such flat inset buttons).
 * I couldn't tell what the green laugh icon means
 * "conversations" is confusing, a single topic is or should be a single conversation? Just call them "posts".
 * I mildly disagree with calling them "comments", I think "posts" is suitably generic.
 * Users will want to customize the "Welcome, I'll be happy to answer any questions" text :)
 * [More Discussions] button should use sentence capitalization ("More discussions"), and should be less button-y. Does it load in place or go on to another page? If the former, maybe a very light bar with an inset link to [Load more discussions], like Load more at the end of topics. If it is a link to another page, I think it should be more like a hyperlink.
 * You need a permalink (if that's what it is) next to each post, not just the topic
