Random notes and ideas regarding navigation:
- Have the "Newest Nodes" link at the top of the leftovers
box, and even better, at the upper right menu - I know
that this is one of the links I use the most anyway.
- Nest everything on newest nodes so that it is easier
to see what the nodes are replying to. It is especially
difficult when people do not use standard titles (this node
itself is guilty of that, but at least it is not one of
the "Re: " (and nothing else) nodes.
- Remove the "Sections" box as it is almost an exact duplicate
of the upper right hand menu. Same thing for "log xxx out"
in the leftovers box. Or add the "username" link to the
leftovers box for consistency.
- Viewing the nodes that a person owns (the writeups) is a bit confusing as
far as "last 50" and "first 50" - it is not intuitive, and nothing
tells you which block of 50 you are viewing at the time.
- Find a way to resolve the "multiple nodes drunk" problem, especially
when there are a lot of replies to a single question that
all have the same name.
- Allow an easier way to link to nodes, i.e. by nodenumber,
or by abbreviation (e.g. SOPW instead of Seekers of Perl Wisdom)
- I really like the personal nodelet. Just thought I'd mention that. :)
- From the newest node page, as well as other places, put a link that
allows the whole "thread" (mother node plus replies) to be opened
instead of just that particular node - in other words, allow the
monks to see the reply in context, if they are unfamilar with (or forget)
the original and previous nodes.
