screenshot of the UI

Using current git on Ubuntu, while looking at the review section what feels the most visible/put in front to me are the buttons "yes"/"no"/"report abuse".

It might be because everything else is flat and they are quite noticeable compared to the rest of the UI?

In any case reporting an abuse is not the most common action I would expect from users on that page (neither are stating if the review was useful), they are probably rather interested in reading the actual reviews. Would it make sense to maybe have the buttons smallers or use "url style label" (e.g color/underlined text)?

It's probably also because of the placement of the buttons - they stick out into the middle of the page.

It would be really useful to have a screenshot of a bigger window with more reviews visible (I tried to do this, but don't have access to many reviews currently).

Smaller buttons is certainly a possibility, yes.

Okay, new button style is fixed in:

    Show a confirmation dialog before reporting a review
    
    This matches the new mockups from Allan.

Thanks Seb! We spent a while discussing this on #gnome-design today, and we all agreed that it was an issue. Hopefully the fix will help.

The fix makes those less intrusive, but they display as normal text now, no pointer change on mouseover & no clue they can be interacted with ... is that normal? (do you have an url for the design mockups update?)
Comment 6 Sebastien Bacher 2016-02-25 16:51:47 UTC
should I maybe open a new report about the new items give 0 feedback as being clickable?

It's not specified in the mockups. I'd have expected them to be buttons without relief, so the button background is shown on hover.
