New Lit Control Panel - Readability Issues Discussion & Solutions

[Manu]

Sorry for not replying to every message here yet.

We are rolling out some changes today to darken text in the New Lit Control Panel. Not sure if the link color update will go today or not, but at least much of the gray text should be darker. If you don't see it soon, please hold down the Shift key and click Reload in your browser.

Keep the interface readability reports and suggestions coming. I'm reading everything even when I don't reply quickly.

Thank you!

1. The numbers being darker helps to read them. The text should be a little bigger.
2. The raw votes is MUCH appreciated. Now if we could have raw views too (read at a glance).
3. It is still unclear why the PUBLISHED graphic is required if we are on the published page.
4. It would be nice if the numbers lined up even if they are 4 rows apart, it helps the brain see patterns.
5. There is still too much white space between story entries.
6. Sort by votes?

1. Still too much white space and 10 user per page? (Maybe it could be configurable)
2. No sorting options.

It seems the latest update has broken the page, at least on the android version of Google Chrome. All I'm getting is a blank page when I try to access it.

Accessing profile Issues

I can log in to my account but i cannot access my profile at all. I click on my name and it just hangs there doing nothing. Is anyone else having these issues?

Thanks

This seems to be a chrome browser issue. Dump your cache, delete the cookies for Lit, then log back in. It's been working for everyone else who had issues.

I agree with most of this. The darker font is easier to read but it's still far too small. At the same time, the story name is far too large. Why does it need to be so big? It's bad design.

There is far too much blank space on the screen. The right-hand one-third of the screen is unused. The left-hand side of the screen simply repeats the menu that is available in more extensive form from the drop-down icon at the top of the page. The stuff we really need is squashed in between these two wasted areas.

I thought you said somewhere that the stats we need can't be bigger because you don't have room. Sort out these two problems and you'll have plenty of room to display stats so that I don't have to squint at them.

In terms of being a workable usable tool for authors, the previous effort rated 2 out of 10. I'd say it was up to 5 out of 10 now. It looks pretty – that's about all I can say for it – but it's not functional yet. You'd have done much better by adding new functions to the old control panel.

The things you really need to fix with the site haven't been touched yet.

Please make the favorites (heart) red or at least a different color from the comments.
