Save Draft

Perhaps its just me...

But every single post that I have gone to make on here, I have hit the save draft button instead of submit. Can we swap the two?

Lol I agree, I have learned to hit the submit button now, but my first intent is to always hit save draft.
A switch would be nice.

o.O I didn't see save draft until you mentioned it. I always use the quick reply. Submit on the right is more logical, order wise. SP it stays there

There is a lack of consistency with it being on the left in Quick Reply, while the full editor has it on the right.

Move one of them, at least. Adding color to Submit to give it visual weight will help too.

Windows users want it on the left because that is how the buttons are arranged in Windows dialogs, but Mac users want it on the right for the same reason. Good UX design for the web has Submit on the right separated from secondary actions like 'Save Draft', 'Cancel' and 'Preview'. Making 'Submit' a different color attracts the eye a bit to help when eyes are scanning for action points.

i.e.

Code: Select all

[Save Draft]  [Preview]                                                 [Submit]

you did it!

Sweet, much better.

Interesting. I never thought of it from that perspective, it makes perfect sense.
