Stupid interface design
by Volker Weber
Ben, please forgive me, but I have to rant about this interface design:
A trained Windows user will hit the leftmost button for "OK", a trained Mac user the rightmost button for "Do it now". So what do we have here? You can add name, e-mail, URL and a comment. Everything but the comment can be stored in a cookie for convenience so don't have to enter them again.
So, instead of posting my comment I have cleared all fields and the cookie by hitting "Forget me" for the umpteenth time. Can I have these things neatly separated? Like in my comment form? Puleeehze?
This whole "Remember me/Forget me" thing belongs to name, e-mail and URL and not underneath the comment. There you neatly put "Preview" and "Submit comments". What do you think?

OK then :-D
Augh! But I can't... my PC is locked, and my site is Notes 6!
Gimme a couple of days.
And don't call me stupid ;-)

Otto or Kevin, what do you prefer? :-)
Very good, I am impressed at this time of night! I promise I will re-design my subform ASAP (not at work though: no port 1352!).
