Thanks, Florian!

Re 1: We’re not aware of this. Could you send a screenshot to contact@doodle.com?

Re 2: We’ll put this on our wishlist.

Re 3: That’s something that’ll be fixed before the year ends.

Thanks for the recent improvements and fixes. The design now deinitely is better, but it still has one flaw and two more behaviours which make it worse to use than the original doodle pages:

1) the counts at the bottom of the tables do not align with the columns above if the columns do not have equal width, which makes it hard to see which count belongs to where;

2) the functions for a poll should be above the table, not below – practically always you need to scroll down, because what you are looking for when you get to the page are usually those functions;

3) when editing an entry, the form fields are at the bottom of the table, but the window jumps to the top – that is confusing at least, if not misleading (because if the table has many rows you do not even see that you now can edit that row, because it is out of sight).

Would be nice to see those points fixed, I could imagine then the redesign would actually really be better and not just unneccessary… Sorry for more critics, and as always, thanks for the product in any case!!!

Turbot, you find the options under — well… — “options” in the last step of the wizard when initiating a poll.

[...] iAでは、この度Doodleのブランドアイデンティティとインターフェイスのリデザインに携わらせていただくこととなりました。既存のインターフェイスについて一連のユーザビリティ・テストなどによる評価から着手し、その後数段階にかけてデザインの改良を重ねました。それぞれの段階において、iAのデザインチームとチューリヒのe&tの運営するユーザビリティラボの緊密な連携により、革新的にデザイン改良作業が進められました。ここまでユーザビリティテスト環境に恵まれた中で作業を進めることが出来たのは私たちにとっては初めてのことでした。既存のインターフェイスがすでに高いユーザ満足度を獲得していた今回の案件では、頻繁なユーザビリティテストは不可欠でした。 [...]

SaitM, what you’re describing is intended, since we assume the participants in a poll to behave in a cooperative fashion which is a save assumption in the vast majority of cases. And it allows to keep the service as simple as possible without requiring user authentication. However, if you want to protect your own entries, you can use MyDoodle. Then, other users won’t be able to edit your entries/comments.
