[MENTION=29430]Siu Blue Wind[/MENTION], it hurts to receive criticism, but if you read it carefully, [MENTION=34156]carleton[/MENTION] has given you information that the site could use and, in my view, should use. You don't have to pay him to take his advice. It's good advice. You've lost track of issues because you seem to be using just this thread for collecting feedback, and it seems you have no incident tracking or bug tracking system. He's spoken on some basics of user interface design which may not be obvious until you read it and consider it, so we can excuse you for not knowing. Well, maybe. But now you've read it, and I find it to be irrefutable. And you're acting as if he's insulted you? Come on. If you're not going to take his advice, at least thank him for it and consider using it later. As I said, I believe he is right in all of his points, and you're going off in wild directions without evidence of knowing any industry best practices. You don't have to act embarrassed, but I think you should start following industry practices as soon as you can rather than dismissing them as exotic or whatever.
