Uploading via mobile - interface overlapping and unclear cancel actions

Contribute UX

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around issues with uploading via mobile, specifically interface overlapping and unclear cancel actions. DeanMarkTaylor highlights several issues, including overlapping elements, a moving target upload button, unclear cancel and “x” buttons, and a lack of confirmation after uploading.

Sam and Sailsman63 confirm these issues on their devices. Codinghorror suggests hiding the “saved” status after a moment to release room on mobile and using a glyph instead of the “Uploading…” text.

DeanMarkTaylor and DeanMarkTaylor propose hiding the “Create Topic” and “cancel” buttons while uploading, making cancelling a two-step process. Sam agrees, suggesting a simple solution by hiding the entire panel during uploading.

  • Whilst uploading via mobile the interface elements overlap.
  • Whilst typing the upload button / link becomes a moving target because of the saving status.
  • it is unclear the difference between “cancel” and “x” when uploading
  • some other message after upload is at 100% would be good. It stays displaying “Uploading 100%” for a very long time compared to uploading through to 100%. WordPress uses “Crunching…”.

Confirmed on Android chrome mobile.
Also confirmed on Try, so this has nothing to do with new topic virtual DOM.

There is just so little room there, especially on smaller phones, not sure how it all can fit.

Mockup?

Well “saved” should disappear after a moment and release that room on mobile.

Edit: also we could use a glyph instead of the large wide text “Uploading…”

Obviously it’s undesirable to use the “Create Topic” button whilst uploading (it’s disabled).

I don’t see any issue in hiding the “Create Topic” button whilst uploading.

Perhaps even hide “cancel” as well as “Create Topic” whilst uploading.

Cancelling creation of a post / topic would be a two step process if currently uploading i.e. cancel upload, then cancel post / topic creation.

Yeah I like this, super simple, just hide that panel (Create and cancel) while uploading.
