I can imagine that list would get very tiring to dig through if we had a few more users. Why not add "add to post radar" links to profile views? It'd make it simpler. <_<

More generally, I think the Post Radar form could use a less weird design, like listing all the users alongside delete buttons or something... the old AB1 way feels kinda weird.

Also, I think the 'add user' field should be a text field where you enter an username, rather than a dropdown. The dropdown is gonna be hard to use when we have like 1000 users, as GM said, but it'll also make the HTML output quite large.

While we're talking about Post Radar, how about what displays when you're on your own post radar?

"tied with [own username] (444 posts)" seems weird, but I can't exactly figure out how to reword it to seem natural and still fit in.

As I recall, older versions of the software stated you were tied. >_>

But the link suggestion. That's quite a nice idea.


The world could always use more heroes!

Yes, but think about it for a moment - why would you say you're tied with yourself? <_<

Why would you even add yourself to your post radar in the first place?

Handy indicator of your own postcount.

Right.

Then I thought about something like:

You have 15631 posts. You are 328 ahead of Foobar, 25 ahead of Walnutz, 37 behind Spiky.

How's that? :P

That kind of ruins the symmetry of it, though. (Not sure how to describe it... but centering two independent clauses like that seems odd- I also find it odd if I'm at the beginning or end of my post radar)

Another issue with the post radar, on the grammar front...

"Add an user?"

Please fix this... The article used should be 'a,' not 'an.'

Perhaps you should just try pronouncing it "oozer".

I should've checked this post before since I was the one who implemented it. Anyways:

I kept it that way because there will be a complete rewrite of the software, so I was just adding missing features from 1.xx, exactly as they were.

Also, I think the 'add user' field should be a text field where you enter an username, rather than a dropdown. The dropdown is gonna be hard to use when we have like 1000 users, as GM said, but it'll also make the HTML output quite large.

Again, I just copied the output from the 1.xx versions. Typing a user name would be interesting though (with AJAX of course).

I just copied the output from 1.xx, and since english isn't my first language, I figured it was correct.

Meanwhile, you can easily find a user by clicking on the dropdown and typing his name. Usually dropdown controls will try to locate the string you're typing.

Note that a text input could support entering multiple usernames, separated with a colon or something. A select input can support multiple selections too, but with 1000 users it's gonna get tricky. And of course no way this can work with the current dropdown style it's using.
