Hello there,

In the WWA box in profiles, we have: a plain text link on "Positive entries" pointing to entries, an emphasized text link on "Make entry", and finally an image link on the star pointing to... well, just click and you'll see! (Actually it points to a help message.)

The two issues I see with this are:
- there is no way to know what the star links to
- the "make entry" gets more stress than the "positive entries", which is wrong, as a large majorit... See more
Hello there,

In the WWA box in profiles, we have: a plain text link on "Positive entries" pointing to entries, an emphasized text link on "Make entry", and finally an image link on the star pointing to... well, just click and you'll see! (Actually it points to a help message.)

The two issues I see with this are:
- there is no way to know what the star links to
- the "make entry" gets more stress than the "positive entries", which is wrong, as a large majority of people will want to see entries, and a tiny minority will want to make a new entry (and in that tiny minority, a large majority will have been asked to do so anyway)

What I would do:
- a click mostly anywhere in the box leads to viewing entries
- two SMALL links leads to help (usually a "?") and new entry creation, respectively

Thanks and keep up the good work! ▲ Collapse
