Moderation UI tweak request

Just a humble request --

Let's say I go to Answers and answer a few questions. Then, I go and mark a few some other questions' answers as "Accept as Answer". Someone else then comes and does the same on the questions I just answered.

When I go to the Moderation page, I'll see a bunch of things that need votes, but I can't actually vote on anything! I can't vote (again) on the things I already voted for, and I can't vote on answers I wrote. If there are 20 other votes going on, it's pretty annoying to figure out which ones I can actually participate in.

Could you (at the very least) display the names of the people that have already voted on an issue on the Moderation page, so I can know not to bother clicking on things I already voted for? Even better would be if you could filter out the ones I already voted for and the ones I can't vote on anyway, but that'd be just icing on the cake.

Thanks :)

click on details and it will tell you who already voted..

+ moderation is very difficult to navigate around.

I agree with difficulty moving - from an item off anyplace other than the first page when you try to go back you end up on page one and have to arrow to other pages. Time consuming and frustrating.

Fair enough; we'll brainstorm improvements.

Yeah, I know about clicking 'details' -- but it means that I potentially have to click in to and out of each item, all while dealing with the issue machead3 noted. "Show context" almost mitigates this problem, but it doesn't show who voted and for some reason it doesn't work at all on page 2 if I already used it on page 1 (I can explain that better if needed, may just be a Safari bug).

Definitely will try to fix this soon.

I've made some updates to the moderation UI. The problem where you couldn't load the context on page 2 should be fixed, and we now show all voters on the main Moderation page. Thoughts?

Normally I would make this a comment but having tried that with no reply and the situation getting worse I'm adding an answer. At this time there are 4 pages of moderation and climbing. With the problems of trying to return to the same place instead of beginning over and not knowing which items I have already voted on I don't believe I will be helping to reduce the growing load. I wonder how many others feel the same. Refer to pollytintop and macheads comments. With the robot trying to clear post this has become a nightmare in my opinion. YMMV

Perhaps you could shut down the robot until Sterling can sort out the navigation problems. It would make it easier to keep up.

I don't know what you mean by robot. Machead has been going through and clearing out posts, if that's what you mean. We have a couple moderator vote bug fixes lined up for our next release, though. In the mean time, when you click "show details" open it in a new tab. This is usually how I use the site. It's probably command-click. After the update, we will be displaying the names of people who already voted next to each vote. Is there anything else that I'm missing?

It sounds as though you have a solution to my problem ready for use and for that I thank you. The robot I mentioned was listed on several pages of edits. In the meantime I will try your method with the tabs.

Tried your method and it worked very well. Your never to old to learn different procedures. Thanks again.
