Why? It's not like we were discussing deep dark secrets. Now, on some other platform, that shall remain unnamed, we might catch flack, but not here.

LOL, I live in Québec and your written French is better than mine, Charles David Upchurch. Of course, Larousse said our French is but a dialect. Websters said the same about our English. Languages are alive. They evolve, they grow. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the King of England, when he first saw Westminster (I think), called it "Pompous, superficial, and artificial." Those words used to be compliments. Even today, things are in flux. It's good to be "The Shit." It's bad to be "shit."

You don't "connect" on beBeein the LinkedIn sense of the word. Anyone can follow anyone else (like Twitter) Only those who follow each other can communicate. That's fair. Also like Twitter we should embrace a follow/follow-back mentality. At least until the other side proves you don't want to follow them. Again, like Twitter, occasionally clean out the people you follow who don't follow you. Scammers follow many but are followed by few. If you look like a scammer you probably are. Invariably, when I follow someone back who follows many more people than follow them, I regret it. I do give the benefit of the doubt.

Yup, these things have a way of morphing onto other subjects, then drifting back on in. I think it's called "conversation" ;-)

"We're on it" would be more accurate, Fede. "Done" means that is already implemented. I'll help with English, You help with Spanish, deal?

OK I assume Done means it is done on the production site, needs to be tested, and them moved to the live site.

I just took a peek at the source code. There's a 5px margin to the right of the Reply link to separate it from the plus/minus, or likes-count. Adding a 8% (responsive) or 15px (fixed) left margin should fix the issue you mention. BUT, IT WOULD LOOK FUNNY. The text would no longer line up with the comment body. I think this issue only applies to short comments. Longer comments are OK because the reply link is far from the source comment link (like here). If it was my decision, I would leave it alone. There are so many factors to consider when building an interface... it's humanly impossible to get them all on the first pass, and some things are more urgent than others.
Paul "Pablo" Croubalian

I know what you mean, Dean Owen. The big fingers little keyboard is an issue for me too. That should be an easy CSS fix. Adding % left margin should move it over enough to avoid accidental clicks.

Just one issue with the hover over the number system. On mobile and tablet, the number is close to the name, and the reply button below. Very difficult to click on the number. Usually it works, but sometimes I click on the name above, or the reply below. But I do have big hands.

Just one issue with the hover over number system - on tablets and mobile phones that number is so close to the reply button, and sometimes I click the number, sometimes reply. I do have big hands though.

Prehistoric???? No, HISTORIC! The hover/click system fits both laptop and mobile users (beBee's mobile app is the only social one I use). I have serious concerns over a hierarchal method. I don't know who first thought of the hover idea, but he/she is a freaking genius! If we could also hover within a hover, we would be able to see the full hierarchy. Then it would be absolutely perfect. Admittedly, I have no idea how that could be accomplished.

Paul "Pablo" Croubalian

Everybody says they prefer a hierarchical comment structure. I'm not so sure. I like the hover feature. If #links in the hover were also accessible, it would solve the issue in a most novel way. That is quite the coding challenge, though. Now, I can hover to read the previous comment. If I click I can hover again to see the one before, etc. The trouble with a hierarchy is how deep do you go before it gets impossible to read? How many levels of parent-child can you support? You would probably need a link to a modal window to maximise effectiveness. That could work well on laptops. What about mobile? No, I don't think a hierarchy of comments is feasible.

Paul \ you can reply to several comments at the same time. This is thanks to not being a hierarchical structure. I remeber a bee complained about this ..he said this kind of comments are prehistoric. What do you think ?
Dean Owen
7 years ago #42
I am not too sure of what order would be best. Paul will better answer that. But I have just been comparing the user friendliness of the comments sections vs LinkedIn. beBee is so much easier. I have always hated the scrolling within the comments box on LinkedIn, especially on mobile or tablet. You have to do many small swipes, and sometimes the swipe scrolls the comments, sometimes it catches the whole column. On the order, thinking about it, it actually makes sense to have the latest comment at the top (closer to the article). I have no preference either way.

#63 #62 #61 There are undocumented features all over the place. I'm finding new ones every day. (Like the ability to reply to multiple comments at once. Just click the reply links in succession) I also find gotchas. I post those in the beBee Cheat sheet.

LOL, maybe we should feel more like the numbers in the Hit Man game! The numbers are also links. Hover to see what comment a reply refers to.

My graphic designer wife did it. The original version was too perfect. It just looked like a really ugly woman with a great shape, who just happened to have the same glasses as me. I asked for a revision to make it less perfect and more blatantly obvious.
