Hi sajolida,

I'm not quite sure what to do about this report. To me it looks like
something that could be interesting for your UX research, but as-is
it's not actionable by developers like me.

WeThePeopleDecide:
> Hi,


> The scroll Bar. You are correct. And if I were youger, with the vision I had it would
> not matter. :) See, I think there needs to be a bigger push focused on the masses.
> Currently it's driven for the Social Media generation. Which I do not trust Social
> Media at all.
> And to be perfectly honest, which I am, otherwise I'm lying, therefore misdirecting, so you will like me. (screw me), your docs are hard for tech savy people.


> I always brough in the clueless, and observed them. That told me what the average
> person will have to be dealing with. Most companies have the same people reviewing
> the work. But they become familiar with it, and lose the cioncept of (average Joe).


> Anyway, what's not realized is, the ones with the funds that will help a great deal,
> are not the Social Media generations. It's the older generations. They have the
> funds, and don't even know you exist. Don't change a damn thing you are all doing.
> I'm suggesting to add to it. From a different thought process. Like a Chinese wall.
> Your work is no doubt brilliant. It's just limiting in dfferent ways. Like simplfying
> the ease of how to use it, the older generations are esentially being locked
> out, etc.


> I always told my people, make sure what is provided is what I called "The Housewife
> Theory". Years ago, most women did not work and stayed home with the kids. You know,
> like a "Family". Which also rarely exists these days. The number one thing has for
> the most part been stripped away, and most don't even realize it.
> Anyway, they were instructed to make it very simple to follow. So I always told them, if they ask a question, we missed something.
> Now, that's not, nor ever was realistic, but that concept got them closer to the goal.


> The top bar with 3 lines. I had no idea. There is my point in action. ANd I am tech
> savy. Your generation is ICON Happy. Then there are no words until you mouse over.
> So you have to click on something that does provide a clue. It's a 3 Bar thingy (that
> nobody could possibly have a clue what the hell that even is) is a problem in
> iteself. And, at the very least, put the word "Tools" or something on that Thingy. :)
> Even a mouseover would help, but it needs to be clicked on. It reminds me when I was
> a kid, they had these vending machines with the pull handles, and some machines would
> not show what you were byuing. It just had a card in there that said "Surprise". :)
> I never once pulled that level. But others did. Which to me was bizzare, given it had
> to be one of the other 8 or 10 things you could choose, so why anyone would pull that
> lever alwas baffled me.
> If I didn't know better, it looks more like what blind people feel to read. Except this makes the non-blind, blind.
> Maybe eliminate that problem by adding the word tools. Or when you Mouseover that, it shows what inside, "with WORDS" :)


> Surely you don't receive emails like this, ever!
> :)


> But the work is just incredible to say the least.

>> WeThePeopleDecide:

>>> B: If the listings fill the area, there is no way to simple ADD a FOLDER. You need to

>>
>> The top-left button in the "hamburger" menu (three parallel horizontal
