Feature Suggestion: Allow clicking user icon in poll results on mobile
seanblue suggested making user icons in poll results clickable on mobile, similar to other places on the site. Currently, clicking user icons in poll results does nothing on mobile, while on desktop, it shows a preview of the user’s profile.
codinghorror asked zogstrip for input, and zogstrip agreed that this feature should be implemented. nbianca noted that the change is part of a larger update to the polls plugin.
However, seanblue reported that the update broke the clicking functionality on desktop, causing it to go directly to the user’s profile instead of showing a preview. seanblue later asked if the bug had been fixed, and nbianca replied that a fix is under review and should be merged soon.
For public polls, the users who voted for each option are shown. On the desktop version of the site, you can click those user icons to show a preview of the user’s profile, just like you can with the icon in other places (e.g. posts, likes).
On mobile, clicking user icons generally goes directly to the user’s profile instead of showing a preview. However, for poll results, you cannot click the icons at all. I’d like to be able to click the user icons in the poll results and have it go directly to the user’s profile, just like the other places on mobile.
Let me know if you want me to clarify anything. Thanks!
Looks like this change may have broken the clicking functionality on desktop. Now when I click a voter icon on desktop it goes directly to the user’s profile instead of showing a preview.
Has the bug with clicking the voter profile in the poll been fixed on desktop? On community.wanikani.com at least, it’s still going directly to the user’s profile.
