facebook and twitter nags

Perhaps in a future build, you guys could add some transparency to the language used...

The option we're presented with is "Log in to facebook?" and we're given three options: "Login", "No Thanks", and the red X to close the toolbar.

Of the three options, two of them are clear: we know what the login and red X buttons do... But I had no idea the "No Thanks" option was what I needed to permanently disable the nag. Now that I think about it, I really didn't know what "No Thanks" meant -- I always kind of assumed it was identical in function to the red X. I always used the X because I long exposure to red X's in software have taught me what it does: it closes the window.

If *I* were designing Postbox, I'd probably have three options presented to the end user, too: "Login", "Not Now", and "Never" (Gee, looks an awful lot like the "Do you want Firefox to remember the password" prompt, doesn't it?)

Exactly. It wasn't a major annoyance, since it wouldn't ask me again until I reopened Postbox, but it was a minor one...

Re: "Don't Ask Me Again," That's not quite as good. Generally, you'd want to use as plain language as possible. Consider someone who speaks English as a second language -- it's not inconceivable that they might mistake a "Don't Ask Me Again" button as something that performs the same function as "Remember My Password and Login Automatically."

"Don't Ask Me Again" tells you that Postbox will remember your answer... but it's not perfectly clear what the answer is. If you want to stick with that language, you'd be better served with "No, and Don't Ask Me Again."

But "Never" is a lot more concise in saying the same thing. ( Delete or Edit)
