Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Fabrice Florin <[email protected]> --- Hi MZ, we would like to get more community feedback on the question of how many links to include in the notifications that appear in the flyout and the archive page. There are good arguments for and against having a single link per notification. For now, we have implemented it differently on the flyout (only one link) and on the archive page (several links), so that community members can compare these two approaches easily. This is also consistent with the way other top sites like Facebook have solved this issue: on FB, the flyout has a single link, but it has multiple links on their archive page. This is a tough issue to solve. For experienced users, having multiple links is beneficial, because it gives them more flexibility. For new users, a single link is preferrable, because it doesn't force them to make a decision. Also, for some notifications, it is not always obvious which single link is most useful to all user groups. For example, the Thanks notification takes you to the diff page, but one could make a reasonable argument that linking to the user page of the person who thanked you could lead to a more constructive interaction than just going back to the edit you previously made. For all those reasons, we would like to punt on this issue, and make a decision in a few weeks, after we've heard from both new and experienced users. Thanks for your understanding. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
