[wp-testers] AW: Write Page

[Dawnne Gee]

In that regard, I have to agree. If I have to scroll at 1680x1050, there's
something wrong, and on the Write page, I have to scroll, especially if a
notice is present below the tabs. I know part of the assumption is coding UI
for 800x600, but I have literally over 1/3 of my screen blank with the
browser full-screened. I like the vast majority of the UI changes, but this
one slows me down. Image-based snarkery a la http://otherwhirled.com takes
me approximately 60 seconds to post in 2.3.3 (if I have my copy-n-paste
resources already setup and the snark is already in my head). In 2.5 it
takes a little over 120 seconds because of the scrolling and the fact that
the 'add media' workflow is slower.

I have to put my 2 cents in and agree with this.  My biggest peeve with the
new 2.5 admin area is the location of all the selections for the Wring Post
page.  Why were the categories moved to below the post?   Isn't moving stuff
that is ordinarily used counter-intuitive to what the intention was for
making all these changes to the admin page?  It was supposed to be easier,
not harded to manage by making users have to scroll here scroll there to
make all their selections.  A category would be one of the first selections
a user makes, why is it 2/3 of the way down the page now?  Other then that
I'm really loving 2.5, I just wish the Write Post page was more productive
instead of less...
