"It would be quite nice if the JavaScript for 'mark this page as reviewed'
could fail in a non-silent way. I do a lot of editing on the train, where I
have a very spotty 3G connection. I quite like doing new page patrolling on the
train as I can open 10 or 20 tabs when the connection is working. The problem
is, like a lot of Ajax controls, it fails silently.
If I mark something as patrolled, I don't actually mind if it tries repeatedly
until it gets through. Usually, I will have moved to the next tab and started
reading that.This is a definite problem with alot of web apps: having spent 15
years being trained by the web to expect synchronous communication mediated
through the UI of the browser, when the behaviour of the page differs from that
of the browser, I get extremely frustrated. Ajax controls often fail
unpredictably or silently or report success when actually failing. This is all
rather confusing.
That said, I think the new interface is a big improvement. Being able to filter
and patrol the new users and blocked users so on is a big improvement. "
