TMg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from TMg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #2) > consider reverting your pre-emptive suppression of this functionality I'm sorry, but what's that "functionality"? It links to the settings. That's all. We already had a link to the settings in the personal bar. Was there a problem with that link? Should we suppress that instead? What's the benefit of having a duplicate item except for being an advertisement? Con: * It's a duplicate, redundant link to the same special page. * It can confuse people. Why does the Beta settings tab have an extra menu item? Why not the Widgets, for example? * It's inserted with JavaScript and makes all items on the left jump. When I try to access my talk page I accidentally click on something else. This happens very often and gets pretty annoying. Same problem with the orange bar from Echo, by the way. * There is a beta feature discussed to compact the personal bar.[1] Adding an item is counter-productive. It's the opposite of what we and you want. * An important reason to create the beta features was that the community got annoyed by unexpected UI changes. As a reaction to that critics the UI gets changed. Please excuse me if I find that strange. Pro: * It makes people aware of the beta features. I'm sorry but in conclusion I don't think the users personal bar is the right place to do advertisement. Talk to the people in the village pump and other appropriate places, please.
