Suggestions for Review Queue Topic Layout

T_Disco proposes several changes to the desktop queued topic layout to maximize content area width and improve user experience:

  • Move the avatar to the main content area and remove the left-hand column
  • Display history on separate lines to reduce horizontal scrollbar instances
  • Hide history in a hide/show element if it takes up too much space
  • Add ‘Assigned to’ to the history if the Assign plugin is installed
  • Add ‘Assign Post’ button if the Assign plugin is installed
  • Replace the ‘Claim this topic’ icon with a text button ‘Claim Post’ for consistency

ondrej points out that the ‘Claim this item to prevent others from reviewing it’ feature already exists as a site setting. T_Disco clarifies that the suggestion is to replace the icon with a text button. ondrej agrees that this change would work and looks neater.

Suggested queued topic layout:

The image shows a screenshot of a digital interface, likely from an online service or platform, with specific sections such as a "Trust Discussion" featuring a user with the username "GaryC," a document named "TDF System," and other elements like a report date and a status section. The text within the image is not legible, preventing me from providing more detailed information. The interface seems to be a part of a professional or business environment, indicated by the serious and structured appearance. (Captioned by AI)

  1. Move the avatar from the left hand column to the main content area and remove the left hand column to maximize the content area width (similar to the existing mobile layout).

  2. Display the history on seperate lines, which would reduce horizontal scrollbar instances and cater for long text - Reported by, Reviewed by names (similar to the existing mobile layout).

  3. If the history section is taking up too much space height wise, maybe hide the history in a hide/show element and display the Reason element at the top? (Unless moderators need to see all the history information at a glance).

  4. Add ‘Assigned to’ to the history if the Assign plugin is installed.

  5. Add ‘Assign Post’ button if the Assign plugin is installed.

  6. Change the ‘Claim this topic’ button from an icon to text: ‘Claim Post’ (with mouseover text ‘Claim this item to prevent others from reviewing it.’)

This already exists.

Hi @ondrej,

Apologies, re: #6 - the current queued topic layout screengrab above doesn’t include the existing ‘Claim this topic’ button.

I was suggesting replacing:
Claim-Icon-Current
with:
Claim-Post-Button

Ah sorry, I though that because you added a ‘new’ button saying claim post you didn’t know such a thing existed. My bad.

I guess this would work since the rest of the options are worded. And it looks a lot neater.
