Would you like to give us a screenshot of K 1.6 that shows where you think we could improve the user interface/button layout, please?

Well, i think something should be done with the smilies, i have added several animated smilies and they take too much space, so either "more smilies" under the defaults which will expand the box, or they should be moved beneath the message box.

Also the image insertion into messages:





You have to click Add File, browse for the file, click ok on the dialog box, and then again click on Insert.

Can't we exclude the "Insert" button? I think it would be easier for the users if they just click on "add file", and ok on the dialog box and the string
Code:
[attachment=3344]image-insert.jpg[/attachment]
will appear into the message box.

Baze wrote: By default in all previous versions (i'm using fireboard since the start of the forum which was back in 2007/8) the send button was on the left, and the cancel was on the right. So it's default action, you expect the send button to be on the left and you just click it even thou it says cancel :)

I agree and I think this is important issue! People read from left to right and therefore primary most used function should be on left. I don´t know any other forum that offers the cancelation first. And since 'Send' used to be where 'Cancel' is now, users will make mistakes and annoyance is unavoidable.

The things you wrote about the Cancel / Submit buttons actually made good sense to me. I guess hadn't taken much notice of the button placement because (perhaps unlike a lot of people, it seems) I read labels on buttons before I press them. But, I suppose a lot of people blindly press buttons out of habit. Good suggestion - let's see what the developers do with this suggestion.

The smileys issue - ugh! - your demonstration clearly shows that Kunena 1.6 has a problem here. I can't see this being fixed soon and it will probably have to wait until K 1.7. I like your suggestion about a "More smileys" option to offer an extended range of emoticons (maybe a webdialog or pop-up) to keep the overall editing tools area down to a "manageable"/convenient size.

I also agree with your comments about the attachment insert feature. The mechanism you now see in K 1.6 was a compromise in order to achieve the multiple-attachment-upload-at-one-time functionality that users have been clamouring for ever since K 1.0.7b. More work is envisaged (to make things easier and better for inserting images/file attachments) for K 1.7.

Thank you. All of these are very good ideas and suggestions.

I do not understand, why Cancel button is on the first place. Therefore I suggest it to correct.

To change an order of buttons, in a file ...editor\form.php replase
Code:
<td id="kpost-buttons" colspan="2"> <input type="button" name="cancel" class="kbutton" value="<?php echo (' ' . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CANCEL') . ' ');?>" onclick="javascript:window.history.back();" title="<?php echo (JText::_('COM_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_CANCEL'));?>" /> <input type="submit" name="ksubmit" class="kbutton" value="<?php echo (' ' . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CONTINUE') . ' ');?>" title="<?php echo (JText::_('COM_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_SUBMIT'));?>" /> </td>
with
Code:
<td id="kpost-buttons" colspan="2"> <input type="submit" name="ksubmit" class="kbutton" value="<?php echo (' ' . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CONTINUE') . ' ');?>" title="<?php echo (JText::_('COM_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_SUBMIT'));?>" /> <input type="button" name="cancel" class="kbutton" value="<?php echo (' ' . JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CANCEL') . ' ');?>" onclick="javascript:window.history.back();" title="<?php echo (JText::_('COM_KUNENA_EDITOR_HELPLINE_CANCEL'));?>" /> </td>
In Advanced Search

in a file ...search\advsearch.php replase
Code:
<td colspan="2"> <input class="kbutton ks" type="reset" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SEARCH_CANCEL'); ?>" onclick="window.location='<?php echo CKunenaLink::GetKunenaURL();?>';"/> <input class="kbutton ks" type="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SEARCH_SEND'); ?>"/> </td>
with
Code:
<td colspan="2"> <input class="kbutton ks" type="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SEARCH_SEND'); ?>"/> <input class="kbutton ks" type="reset" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_SEARCH_CANCEL'); ?>" onclick="window.location='<?php echo CKunenaLink::GetKunenaURL();?>';"/> </td>

Updated:

in a file ...view\message.contents.php replase
Code:
<input type="reset" class="kbutton kreply-cancel" name="cancel" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_CANCEL') ?>" /> <input type="submit" class="kbutton kreply-submit" name="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CONTINUE') ?>" />
with
Code:
<input type="submit" class="kbutton kreply-submit" name="submit" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_GEN_CONTINUE') ?>" /> <input type="reset" class="kbutton kreply-cancel" name="cancel" value="<?php echo JText::_('COM_KUNENA_CANCEL') ?>" />
