| Description | [original title: A member's "Edit Photo" screen could use a little re-think]
Aloha from Hawaii, As the screen stands now, the upper part is dimmed and the user must carefully read the red text which says to "Delete the contents of "URL(link)' field below if you wish to upload a new photo". Then the upper part becomes un-dimmed and the user can click 'upload' button. I've noticed when interacting with a few users in person, they're having trouble noticing/reading the upper portion because it is so dimmed. So they sit there and wonder what to do. Perhaps the solution is to make it much less dim, or not dim at all but un-clickable until they delete the URL field? |

Composr's interface is a bit quirky given this UI paradigm was never designed into it. Composr forms are a sequence of fields, they aren't deep structured in this way. That's the original modular design, which makes for straight-forward PHP coding, and allows for shared templates, but we can still make it more sophisticated without really losing those original design goals.
It just would take some time though.
