Allen Gilliland commented on ROL-1487:
--------------------------------------
i guess you can do what you want, but i find that disappointing.
i think that putting that full url where it was before is a usability no-no and
as i commented previously some of the other major blog software suites out
there seem to agree because they don't do it either. i think that while
decisions like these are small they are very important and IMO usability is
probably Roller's biggest weakness now and it's decisions like these which have
hurt us in the past. of course, it would help to get comments from real
usability experts because usability is not my area of expertise, so this is jut
my personal opinion.
i have no doubt that you find the feature useful and so will some other users,
but my feeling is that our decisions should be intended to make things as
simple and streamlined for *most* users as possible and in this case i think
that putting the url back in there is ugly, confusing, and ultimately of little
or no value to the majority of users. so if you want to put it back in i would
strongly suggest putting it in the advanced section somewhere so that it's
something that you only see if you are really seeking to deal with it. this
makes the most sense also because if/when we provide a way for people to enter
in their own entry anchors that is also something that should only be available
in some kind of "advanced editing options" mode and not something that most
users will care about, and the full url should probably be displayed in the
same place.
