Implemented 'With selected' can be positioned better

This area feels a bit scrammed together. I would expect the 'With Selected' functionality to be positioned more near the select boxes, because it has a direct relation to that. Especially when you use the fluid style, the dropdown is far away from the selection boxes.

I think there would be a chance of someone overlooking the form if it were aligned there.

I think its more logical where it is now.

I agree. It's good right where it is. Aren't items in a drop down usually aligned to the left?

 

[Kier]

That will be changing soon in order to mirror the position of our inline moderation checkboxes.

How did you get to that page? All I see is something that looks like user cp in vb3.8 with all sorts of options on the left hand side I don't normally use when reading threads.

Same thing as what Grover posted. But un-cropped.

Thanks Nick!

(I really don't see the need to see the options on the left when simply viewing Watched Threads)

Thank you! (and offtopic... -since we can not reply anymore to 'Implemented Suggestions'-threads- also thank you very much for implementing alerts for you have been quoted: fantastic social functionality! )

Overlooking? They already need to check some checkboxes and then scroll to the bottom to reach the 'With selected...'-dropdown. How can they overlook it and next to that: what is more logical then placing this dropdown right beneath the checkboxes instead of all the way to the left where it is crammed together with the page-navigation? UI functionality should be placed in context with each other.

I agree. It's good right where it is. Aren't items in a drop down usually aligned to the left?

Why should they be? It serves no purpose there on the left, because there is no context/direct relation there with the checkboxes. But... I am repeating myself and I don't want to repeat my behavior I demonstrated enthusiastically on vBulletin.com for 9 years...

It's not essential, but since xenForo's UI/UX is such a pleasure already, I want to provide suggestions to keep it that way (if Mike&Kier agree it's an improvement, that is) and maybe improve it a little where possible. The UI/UX of xenForo is one of it's biggest selling points for me, and I hope a lot of other customers.

Well, like Kier said he plans to move it so it's consistent with the moderator dropdown.

*Flashback* ... not only is this what I'm used to, but it's what seems to make more sense:


It's pretty weird to imagine the drop-down being aligned to the left in this instance.

XenForo's inline moderation interface is unlike anything you have seen on a forum before. I am hoping to have a demonstration video ready tonight.

Sh*t... and I wanted to go to bed early for once in this very exciting week!

LOL I don't think I've ever seen you post with that kind of word before.

Now that's a first......

Don't get our hopes up too high.

 

[Kier]

I'm afraid I may have to dash your hopes for tonight at least - I just uploaded a video demonstrating attachment uploading and placement to YouTube and it's horrible. It's turned my 1280x800 clip into a postage-stamp sized blur-fest and the visuals appear to be running about 3x too fast, so they don't correspond to the sound at all.

Trying Vimeo now... fingers crossed.

I already saw it when you posted it, but couldn't send the reply I wrote, cause the thread was removed . I get your point, but for me the video was fine:

I was waiting for the new videos to come up... (yes, I am becoming a xenForo groupie )!

I keep saying, the userinterface of this product is so well thought-out. When you as an end user are using it, it looks and feels amazingly simple, elegant and very intuitive. Oh, and I love the automatic resize of full-sized attachments when you resize your browser-window. Awesome (as Floris would say).

Not sure if you are okay with me posting it, but here is the YouTube link to the video:

(edit: I removed it myself, because maybe it's not appropriate, since Kier removed the original thread for a reason)

Awesome!
