Settings should be affirmative

Featured Replies

Posted

Something you missed in the settings cleanup in 3.2... Settings should be consistently affirmative. "Enable thing?" defaulting to 'Yes' is good, "Disable thing?" defaulting to 'No' complicates things [especially when mixed with the former]. This is mostly a bother for forum and user/group settings, but there are some global settings as well which fall both ways.

Forum settings:

%7Boption%7D

%7Boption%7D





User groups:

%7Boption%7D%7Boption%7D

%7Boption%7D







Users:

%7Boption%7D

%7Boption%7D





Global:

%7Boption%7D




I don't know how easy it would be to change the wording and then flip the settings for the ones that have been around since prior versions, but the tag/prefix settings shouldn't be too much of an issue to fix.

I certainly agree... double-negatives should be avoided.

I agree also

Yes, this can cause a little confusion
