Icon selection when logging in via Comment reply
Title:
Icon selection when logging in via Comment reply
Area:
workflow: logging in, workflow: commenting, page: icons
Summary:
I've tried to reply to DW posts whilst I'm logged out, and had to log in via the Comment reply box. The login options work fine, but they don't allow me to pick a user icon.
Description:
When logging in via a comment, there's no way to access your userpics to pick an icon to go with your comment.
I'd like it if logging in via leaving a comment automatically refreshed the page or updated it somehow so that your userpic list became available to you before the comment was posted.
I imagine some people might object to this because it would slightly slow down the log-in process, but I think userpics have become such an important part of the communication process on DW that most people would be happy to have this option.
I have no idea how difficult this would be, but I'm hoping it wouldn't be too hard, since we already have a login option that returns you to your previous page that you were looking at, so I know this sort of thing can be done in principle. I'm just hoping the coders can make something like that work with the comment box.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
