Description p858snake 2008-12-14 01:30:31 UTC
When going to post a comment in a code review page the buttons (Commit Changes, Commit & Next unresolved, Preview) maybe confusing to the end user and have them thinking they are doing something to the code compared to just posting a comment about it.
Comment 1 Chad H. 2008-12-14 05:07:19 UTC
What would you suggest? "Save changes?" I'm all for improving it, just can't think of good wording.
Comment 2 p858snake 2008-12-14 05:16:21 UTC
Maybe something like "Post Comment", "Preview Comment"?
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2008-12-15 19:47:10 UTC
Well it ain't just comments, it's also updating tags and status on the revision (if you have perms for that).

Which is why I couldn't think of anything better. "Save post" is misleading, considering you can do a lot more :)
Comment 5 Simon Walker 2008-12-15 20:47:32 UTC
How about "Save changes", "Save changes & next unresolved" and "Preview" (just as an alternative suggestion)?
Comment 6 Alex B 2008-12-19 15:32:03 UTC
You could just add a note somewhere saying that this action won't effect the code. 'Save changes' also might be better, as people are more likely to associate 'commit' with a code update.
