While we are currently running A/B testing on button styling for vote arrows, I am wondering whether the Close and Delete links on posts could also be enhanced in terms of UX.
Here is how the Close link looks when I have voted to close a question.
And here is how it looks when someone else has voted to close the question, but not me.
Yes, you are right, it's the same image. Because both look exactly the same.
Unless I wait for the tooltip to display — or click on the link — I have no way to tell whether the close vote is mine, or not.
The same goes for the Delete link when displayed.
My main question/concern about it: Should there not be a visual difference between when I have voted and when I have not?
Aside from that, should these links not be buttons since they are not taking you anywhere but rather let you do some action on the post you are viewing?
For reference, here are a few related requests:
/* Indicate you've voted to close */ .js-post-menu button[title*="You"] .existing-flag-count:after, .js-post-menu button[title*="you"] .existing-flag-count:after { content:")*";} /* Indicate you've voted to delete */ .js-post-menu button.js-delete-post[title*="You"]:after, .js-post-menu button.js-delete-post[title*="you"]:after { content:"*"; position: relative; right:.3em; }
