"Bookmark article" icons
-
Hi, just a short suggestion from my side. I do not bookmark articles very frequently but here and there one rises up that I want to keep. And every time, when it's been a bit longer since my last bookmark, I get confused by the bookmark icon again. If you have not bookmarked the article, it shows a plain bookmark icon, but once you have bookmarked it, the icon changes to a bookmark containing a "+" symbol... the latter I would interpret to "add this as bookmark" and not as "it is already bookmarked". An icon should always show what will happen, and not what has happened when you clicked the icon the last time. I hope my english is good enough that you understand what I mean. So my suggestion is: the bookmark icon with the + in it should be when i CAN bookmark it, and when I already HAVE bookmarked it, the + should change to... maybe a checkmark? thanks for reading, cheers Mike

I agree. Actually (just tested it) you can't remove the bookmark by clicking the bookmark-icon on the article again - you have to remove it from your bookmarks list. And if you reload the page of an article which you already have bookmarked, the bookmark-icon gives no indication of that.

I already suggested about that some days ago :)
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

My expirience is, that this "+" is anyway only showed when you currently Bookmark an article, means if you visit a bookmarked article later it does not Show it again. So I think, while bookmarking one can assume that the user can remember his click .... :-\

Yeah - that was poor UI. Fixed.
