UX observation - keep tag cloud context

Michael -

More like the attached. It's not perfect and it raises other issues. SO - let me know if I am going to far with this.

And speaking of UI/UX, how come I can't add an image to a comment without posting and then editing the response?

Missing profile photo on private note

Installation and Configuration

Try it and let's see. But it puts another design requirement on top of it. The basic approach to logos in all of the default JR skins is wide and short.

I don't want to make more work of this tonight than need be. If it's missing in my system - it's missing everywhere? So, let's think this out in a way that makes the most sense in the long run.

One of my most prolific members ... missing almost all content?

@Brian and team:

This is FAR more important to me than the tag cloud UI/UX issue or the missing photo in system profile notes.

I thought about the names. It's the behavior: when you click on a tab in a tab panel, the idea is to switch between the tab panels.

When you click on tag cloud now, you break the UI/UX expectation by loading another page - all the tabs disappear.

What I am proposing is to leave all the tabs in place and within the tab panel display the tag cloud in a row of tabs. Basically duplicate what you have at https://www.jamroom.net/tags/documentation/modules without the Tag Cloud tab because it is in the parent tab row.

Nested tabs in other words. This makes the whole approach orthogonal.

Another UI thought on this page

Why not use the sort order icon here rather than a pick list? There are only two option for sorting that I have seen. More consistent with the rest of the UI.

Then you're scaling width and height will be what it will be. My logo is not square. I'd be happy to create a square - 300x300 - logo if that would help? Add it to the Skin's image list and call it system_note.jpg?

okay then, how about this:

Make the Tag Cloud tab the right-most tab, always.

When you click on that, you get the tab panel with all the sub-tabs.

That works.

OTOH - the group that was last updated was DIY and it's not at the top of the list.

If you click on the DIY group, the post that was commented on today was Vibrating table and it's not at the top of the list.

Maybe comments to a Group Discussion are not considered updates? That doesn't make sense because they are in this forum.

not quite what I imagined after changing the sort order.

Never mind, figured it out. Needed to reset template cache.
