Can we change the priority of the linked news-articles again?-

Can we make the default position so the settlement information is expanded and if someone wants they can read less. -

Can we move the information about the user who created the question and other questions created by that user and other markets about the subject above the news?
Can we have the old graph which was able to be zoomed in to a particular time frame. Could we get wager information on the graph (how much money, how many predictions).
What about flipping the comments, so newest comment is at the top. -

I know from own experiences that designing a intuitive UI is very hard. I like how you rearranged the question page.
What I don't like though, is the restriction to the space available for the background-text. Yes, I've seen the "read all" button.
But I put in much effort in writing text to explain my questions (and others do too) and I'm worried that no one will read that anymore and so some people do not really know on what they prediction (the details, the "small" print"), or the circumstances of the settlement.
Example:

There should at least be room for a few lines. Not just one or two. -

To echo a message I sent to Chris, I like the "direct view" of comments very much! -- it's wayyy more inviting to users, I think.
Too bad about "News" being moved off to the right ... Chris said that, currently, "news" isn't getting enough attention to justify the space it was given.
I confess I don't understand that, as for me, I thought "news" was a 'foundation pillar" on which the premise of HD was built.
I have read comments from the Tech Team! over the past months that there were "problems with news providers" drawing in relevant news"... Some markets had no news, many had stale news. It was stated that the new "tags" scheme in "creating questions" was changed, at least in part, to enable "better" news feeds.
I had hoped for news feeds to get "better and better" (and more timely) -- with almost the "direct view" that "comments" has now.
In my view, that would let users see "what's the latest news" about a particular market -- and encourage more user participation, with more informed and spirited predictions! -

Question page rearranged to promote commentingThere's such an active community on Hubdub but many questions aren't as discussed (via comments) as they might be. The commenting functionality until now has been hidden amongst the many tabs on the question page, but we've rearranged things slightly to make it more prominent.
It is now the default tab. Details from the Info tab are available on the "read all" link next to the settlement details (which is a better context for that data), related news is on the right hand panel (as it leads to other pages, like the rest of that panel) and the graph can be enlarged in situ by clicking the Zoom button (more intuitive than a tab at the bottom of the screen).
Any feedback welcome.
Thanks,
Tom -

one major thing:
-I really have problems to access the "Suspend Date" calendar. The button just wont show up, so I have to focus the dropdown for Hour and then do a CRL+TAB to focus the previous input-element (which is the button to let the calendar pop up) which is not visible. -

Another possibly major thing: is this actually working for non superusers? My two nonsuperuser contacts both do not have "create as new" options for questions they created... -
kruijs replied on June 27, 2008 21:21 to the discussion "Copy question as new for question creators" in Hubdub:
another minor thing:
-the question preview doesn't show my submitted picture -
kruijs replied on June 27, 2008 18:27 to the discussion "Copy question as new for question creators" in Hubdub:
That's a really great improvend!
*thumbsup*
minor things:
-background text: "You can include line breaks, basic HTML (bold text, italics etc) and simple tables" great! thanks for pointing that out. Where is a complete description of all possibilities (what is possible and how to do it, especially tables should be explained to novices)?
-the "subcategory" description text (which changes when selecting an entry) starts beneath the subcategory drop down list but wraps way back to beneath the category list (just optical issue)
-the "settlement rules" textarea should also provide a vertical scrollbar
-the "suspend date" drop down lists are somehow stretched vertically (but's really just an optical issue)
I'm using FF 2.0.0.11 on WinXP. Yeah, I did not participate in the world-download-record :)
I'm still waiting for an per option additional textbox for a somewhat more detailed description for each of the options... -

Copy question as new for question creatorsTo save creators of commonly structured questions some clicks and keystrokes, they can now click the "copy question as new" button at the top right of the question page to duplicate one of their own questions (and modify appropriately) before resubmitting as a new question.
Only the question creator (and super users and admins) have this capability.

Email notifications on void, unsuspend, cancelled predictionsYou'll now get an email notification when:
1) a question you've predicted on is voided
2) a suspended question you've predicted on is unsuspended
3) a prediction you made is cancelled for being too late (past the cut-off time) when a question is settled.
These can be turned off from your Site Settings screen (My Hubdub -> My Account -> Site Settings)
Hopefully this will help you keep even tighter tabs on your H$. -

Twitter, Tags, Question imagesHi everyone, we're just released some cool new functionality.
1. Twitter your predictions from Hubdub. On the Prediction Made screen there's a new blue box on the right. From it you can Twitter your responses to questions immediately, from Hubdub, by entering your Twitter username and password. Hubdub can remember these details so each future tweet is just 1 click, or even tweet all your predictions automatically.
Use it to show off your predictions and start discussions with your friends.
2. Tags have arrived. You can now browse to other questions related to the one you're viewing from its tags on the top right of the screen. Question creators pick the tags, and feel free to add as many as you want (it's no longer restricted to specific tags for pulling relevant news).
3. Now, finally, our esteemed question creators amongst you can upload an image with your wonderful questions. There's a box to pick a file from your computer at the bottom of the question details screen. Please, only user images you have the right to use in this way (ie. you own the copyright, the images are unrestricted or you've obtained permission from the copyright holder).
Enjoy!

Congratz!
Finally these ugly green boxes are gone! -
A comment on the idea "NEW and IMPROVED" in Hubdub:
Very sensible idea. This would make me relax a lot; but I think there should be some sort of penalty (10%-20%) so that people don't exaggerate the use of limits. To me, it would simply be a measure to hinder complete losses. At a second thought, there should be serious restrictions on these triggers. It seems too comfy to be right for the machine. – Hoernla, on June 19, 2008 09:47 -
kruijs replied on June 19, 2008 07:55 to the idea "NEW and IMPROVED" in Hubdub:
Ahhhh,
I wanna have TRIGGERS on my stakes. So I can make them cashing-in whenever a certain level has been reached (either gain or loss)
And maybe TRIGGERS on the options to make stakes automatically whenever the probability get in a certain range.
That would be coooool.
When you can implement that, I can certainly do without a watch-list. -
A comment on the idea "NEW and IMPROVED" in Hubdub:
That would be great. Probably not that difficult to implement either. – InfernalMachine, on June 11, 2008 06:33 -
kruijs replied on June 11, 2008 05:55 to the idea "NEW and IMPROVED" in Hubdub:
jenni, I wasn't aware of that because my questions don't get void that often ;).
It is not possible to start a new question without that special link though. That could also be helpful to create similar questions in which only details change: DIJA or sports questions for example.
There should be a button labeled "Create New Question based on this one", IMHO. -
A comment on the idea "NEW and IMPROVED" in Hubdub:
actually this already exists - i don't know how long they've had it, because i rarely read my void emails, but this one did have a link to my question in the "edit" phase, so i can just make a minor change and publish. – jenniandboys, on June 10, 2008 21:33
