We didn't want to drastically alter our design since the users did not have too much trouble viewingcompleting the tasks. In particular, the simplicity made most tasks very simple to complete. However, some of the above observations made it clear that some changes needed to be made. In particular, we made the following adjustments:
- "Tags" were renamed "topics" to make it clearer that these are categories.
- We added a "New Post" button next to each topic. We thought this would make it clear where the post was, and what topic the post will be under.
- We added a "viewable topics" tag to the plus sign, so it was more obvious it's for allowing one to view different topics.
- The comments section was touched up, so that it was clearer where to post a comment, and how to reply to someone. In addition, the creator of the topic is clearly visible at the top.
- For the "make post" window, we added some dynamic adjustment, so that a "link" textbox appears if you select to submit an article, and a "date and time" box appears for an event.
