Today let’s talk about the UX of
OK we click on the three dots to find out what it hides.
OK we saw what it hid. And now we click again to make it hide it again.
But surprise surprise, that spot has now become a garbage can (and some other stuff) and our second click is now aimed smack dab at a garbage can! Good thing we can still stop our hand in time.
Yes, maybe it isn’t as dangerous as it seems, but I’m not going to try it to find out.
Also there is still plenty of room to show all items, so the three dots isn’t saving much. Plus it is weird that there is no antidote once one has expanded it. (No three dots to make it contract again. Yes, even if… there is plenty of room…)
It is configurable. Some sites have a lot more options there than others.
And while I hear you on your point, but we generally tend to work to a rule of three and no one else has ever complained about this, that I’m aware of.
It’s also possible to configure which post menu items are hidden behind the ellipsis via your site settings.
Yeah, that’s what I was attempting to say. You did a much better job of it.
Which brings up an interesting point.
I bet a lot of those settings, only available to admins, could also be offered to users to to configure, via some …/my/preferences/interface/advanced .
Thus “increasing democracy” and reducing “admins vs. non-admins power gap”… as long as it doesn’t affect security.
El aterrador cubo de basura rojo,
Pero no lo presionas, ¿verdad? Dado que el color al pasar el cursor es rojo, lo que indica un peligro. Nunca he eliminado accidentalmente una publicación al expandir los puntos suspensivos, sin embargo, incluso si lo hiciera, podría deshacer la acción, por lo que, aunque parece malo que estés pasando el cursor sobre un botón de eliminar, es fácilmente reversible.
Como administrador del sitio, una solución para esto sería cambiar la configuración del sitio menú de publicación. Esto te permite cambiar el orden del menú de acciones de publicación. Ergo, cuando expandas los puntos suspensivos, estarás pasando el cursor sobre una acción de publicación diferente. El punto de @HAWK anterior sigue en pie: es personalizable.
Solo digo que el valor predeterminado mundial… es como la puerta del ascensor que a veces se abre a un gran pozo. Aterrador.
Dado que esto es configurable con una configuración y es muy fácilmente reversible, hasta que alcancemos la regla de tres, creo que estamos bien aquí.
