15 - Favorite Topics display logic, usability issueWell, many of my users report that the "Favorite Topics" does not work...
And I understand them...
To see your topics marked as "Favorite", you have to go to the the little
dropdown box and select "Show All" to see all your favorites...
Users expect to see all "Favorite Topics" so I do not understand why
"Show All" is not the default selection, instead of "Last time" or whatever
the current default is called...
The "Last time" actually seems to default to *now*, so you don't even
see topics you have just marked... Nice to be able to select a time too,
but usually the user logic is - "I have marked it as favorite, and I want
to see it until I decide to unmark it"...
So "Show All" should be the default selection as I see it to avoid user confusion.
My Topics -> Active topics = Active topics since my last visit - dynamic list...
My Topics -> Favorite Topics = Topics I have actively selected to watch - static list...
