Thoughts usability on tablets
« on November 26th, 2012, 04:20 AM »
Firstly, this isn't strictly a bug report, and secondly I am being specific to tablets as most of them are effectively desktop capable in terms of resolution and space but using touch.

My beef is that it isn't obvious at all on a tablet that you have to touch the thought to bring up the options like reply, there's no UI cue or anything.

On a side note, you have to tap the actual text of the thought, you can't tap the empty space in the thoughts' row.

It's the Home template.
It's entirely up to the admin to determine how they show thoughts.

Technically, there's nothing saying that my particular implementation is what I think works best.

In fact, none of what I've been doing so far is what I would call "works best material".... It's just "works okay enough for me to switch to another task."

Yes, I know it's the home template but right now it's about the only way to use thoughts, and the odds of admins customising that to any significant degree (considering the AJAX updating) is pretty much nil...
