Gogf Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 In Beta 2, the "complete edit" and "cancel edit" buttons in the AJAX edit were switched. This is confusing and has almost led me to cancel my edit, losing what I wrote, twice. What exactly was the purpose of this change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellawella Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 What exactly was the purpose of this change?It was, of course, to disorientate you to the point at which you would be unable to point out so many flaws in 2.2's design :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I should note that I'm only giving my opinion so that we can have the best version of IPB possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon C Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think this should be switched back to what it was, with the Complete Edit on the left hand side and the Cancel Edit button on the right hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keven Fox Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 This ALSO messed up where you could TAB and hit SPACE to complete. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think it's just fine. Easy template change is all ;)Edit: Ok now I see what you mean. Although tab works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam A Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Indeed, I keep cancelling my edit also. This needs to be changed for the next release, there is no logic to the change at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 lol It didnt fool me. I used it and it worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCWT Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 another illogical change, can't use TAB to Complete Edit now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Prowler Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I hope they change it back because this will mess me up a lot when editing a post :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted October 4, 2006 Management Share Posted October 4, 2006 Do they not make more sense as they are now? It follows a 'standard' where the 'OK' button is to the right of the 'NOT OK' button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogf Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Do they not make more sense as they are now? It follows a 'standard' where the 'OK' button is to the right of the 'NOT OK' button.Perhaps for popup windows, but it breaks with the tradition of buttons for forum posting. At least on IPB, the "add reply" button is always to the left of the "preview post" button. I never even thought of the AJAX edit as a popup window, it just always seemed like a standard forum box.I don't have a problem with it being on the right, per se, but the change itself is disorienting, confusing, and doesn't seem particularly necessary.

ZainZ Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I would want the "Complete Edit" button on the left as well... It follows the IPS standard :P LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam A Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Do they not make more sense as they are now? It follows a 'standard' where the 'OK' button is to the right of the 'NOT OK' button.But you created a "standard" yourself when you first made the quick edit feature, changing it now is just making the feature irritating.As someone else has already said anyway, it isn't like that on the forms within IPB.

Topics, then Fast Reply. Those work now though again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted October 4, 2006 Management Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've switched it back.I still think it's more logical to have it the 'new' way but I do understand that some might find that confusing. Again, it's entirely templatable so you can change it back if you wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keven Fox Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thanks, although now when I tab I have a cursor in the box to search topic :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd lost quite a few posts that way since the change. I'm glad it's back to normal. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted October 4, 2006 Management Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'll see about adding in a tab index to that 'button' too.Keep the suggestions coming, they're all welcome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Barrie Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thanks for the change. what do you mean by tab index to that "button" ? :unsure:Without a tab index, tabbing to the button takes ages (if you can get to it at all) because tab indices specify what order "Tab" moves through controls. Controls that don't have one would take LAST priority over controls that do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
