Shadow82x Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 On the Settings page, it would make sense if "Manage Facebook" and "Manage Twitter" was under the same setting group such as "Manage Integration". Both settings pages are also a bit bare with only a few options, so again, it just makes sense.
Amy T Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 It does make sense. Although I do fear it will make people that do not understand what integration mean ask where the facebook settings are.
Shadow82x Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 It does make sense. Although I do fear it will make people that do not understand what integration mean ask where the facebook settings are. If thats the case it could always be named something like "Manage Twitter/Facebook" or "Manage Connections"
Amy T Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 What about calling it social network settings or network settings or log in settings.
Shadow82x Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 Think "Social Network Settings" could add some confusion because there are many social features in IP Board itself. "Login Options" "Login Settings" "Login Connections" sounds good to me.
Ikadon Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I'm all for it, makes no sense to have 2 half-empty pages around. Although I will disable this stuff anyways, so I don't care. It does make sense. Although I do fear it will make people that do not understand what integration mean ask where the facebook settings are. /facepalm... if that is really the case I see no chance for mankind in the future. I mean, if people are even too dumb and/or too lazy to read through their settings now.. Anyways, I'm tilting at windmills here, I know. (this is not meant to insult you, but is more of a general statement. I'm all for easier use, but there must be a line somewhere. I mean, you can't let those people drive a car if they simply don't care what the settings in their cars are for... I think I'm for a computer-driving license...)

However, usability and logical setting names are essential. Because for you integration might sound logic, but your users may not even see it as 'integration' but merely as very handy.

I'm with you there, but if people ask (admins and staff) before searching themselves (I mean, all is tabs here! You can't break anything!) which takes just a few seconds I think we can't make it any easier for them. I'm not against easyness, I'm against lazy- and dumbness... and you can't help those people :(
.Ian Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Personally,I think they are better split -maybe if more are included then they can be combined, but with the two I think it is better split. After all the list on the left is not too long.
Management Charles Posted June 2, 2011 Management Posted June 2, 2011 We had planned on merging them but there were technical issues we encountered so it would have taken longer than we wanted to for 3.2.0.
