三个点变成垃圾桶

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.

那个可怕的红色垃圾桶,

  • 是可怕的红色,因为我们的鼠标指针正好在它显示出来的时候悬停在上面!
  • 并非总是如此。它更像是单臂老虎机。这完全取决于隐藏图标的数量,即使在同一帖子主题中,每次回复也可能有所不同。

但是您不会按下它,对吗?因为悬停颜色是红色的,这表示危险。我从未在展开省略号时意外删除过帖子,即使我这样做了,我也能撤销该操作,所以尽管它看起来很糟糕,您却悬停在删除按钮上,但它是可以轻松恢复的。

作为网站管理员,对此的解决方案是更改 post menu 网站设置。这允许您更改帖子操作菜单的顺序。因此,当您展开省略号时,您将悬停在不同的帖子操作上。@HAWK 上面的观点仍然成立:它是可自定义的。

我只是说,全世界的默认设置……有时就像电梯门打开,外面就是一个巨大的深渊。太可怕了。

鉴于此设置是可配置的且易于撤销,在达到“三振出局”规则之前,我认为这里没问题。
