This is just stupid! (FA Design Rant)
5 years ago
The big soul devouring dragon has an announcement to make... Follow every command... if you love your soul~
Just a little FA Design rant, because it really drives me crazy!
It isn't the first time for me, to accidentally delete ALL my notifications, because I misclicked the buttons on the messages page.
Why are the buttons to clear a certain section of notifications on the top, when you read the normally notifications from top to bottom like a normal living being?!
I mean it doesn't make sense to me, and so when I today went through the journal notifications a few minutes ago after waking up, still being a bit sleepy, it happened again! I didn't click the 'Select All' and 'Remove Selected' Buttons at the top of the journals section, but the ones on the global selection right beneath the last journal thinking it was still that way around, deleting every single notification I had in there... I mean sure, it's my own fault for not paying attention when I'm still halfway asleep, but it's been like that for what?... The past 9 and a half years since I joined FA (most likely even longer) and suddenly it changes places in the most frustrating way imaginable. I'm not ranting against these updates completely, but it's just unintuitive and frustrating in the end.
I mean, WHY?! Why does it have to be that way around?!
Why not have a prompt coming up asking 'Are you really sure you want to delete ALL your SELECTED notifications?' instead of just deleting every one of them, Submissions, Watches, Faves, Comments and Journals, INSTANTLY?!?! Come on, it can't be that hard to implement that...
I am using the 'modern, dark' theme, btw. Which is good for usage both on Desktop and Mobile devices, but this problem bugs me a lot!
