Looking for startup-minded designers!

Hi everyone,

We're closing in on 300 pitches over at elegant.ly — and we simply do not have enough talent to match them up with companies. We need top tier designers, like you, to apply. The need is especially dire in San Francisco / Silicon Valley but we have pitches all over, including Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, Seattle, and even places like Barcelona, London, Brazil, Israel, etc.

Is the browsers back button our report card showing an F (most cases)?

To put it simply (and a bit overly simplified), if a user clicks on the browsers back button I think the website navigation has suffered a catastrophic failure (in most cases). Why? Apart from user preference/habit (most cases) the user was forced to end their engagement with the website and engage the browser. Is the browsers back button our report card showing an F (most cases)?

Update on Spam problems

Hi Everybody,

While we're working on a moderation solution for the spam on the list, the problem seems to be getting worse.

As a temporary solution we have disabled discussion thread creation for new users.

As of now all new users who have not been approved by a moderator cannot start new discussion threads. New users can still comment/respond to existing threads, and those comments will go into the moderation queue until that user has been approved.

Best way to show "find the office nearest to you" on an INTERNATIONAL scale

I need to develop a process for customers to find the “office nearest them” on an INTERNATIONAL SCALE. Our team is talking about the differences between using a graphic map or a text list. Has anyone wrestled with this alligator before or seen any parallels this project has with other functionality that we could look at? Thank you for any help, insight or humor you are able to offer.

Usability disagreement within a team

Hello people,

I've been assigned to usability test a portal. Unfortunately I can only test the portal based on Usability heuristics at the moment. (And only SOME pages of the portal)

To my surprise, the portal lack basic usability principle such as a hover effect/mouse-over effect.

The graphic designer and I both mentioned this to the rest of the team (programmer, business expert and the project leader)
