    Hi Dav, welcome Declan,

    Just a quick query and a follow up -

    Will you be enabling heat maps on the touch site?

    One thing that may skew the stats somewhat is, well, in Opera on mobile, I have different pages added to speed dial for quicker access, so for example to get directly to my PM Inbox, I just open the speed dial in a new tab and click on my PM Inbox, having already set it in the speed dial. This for me is a much faster method than navigating through to PMs on the Touch site in it's current iteration.

    I'm not sure the effect this may have on the stats, I wouldn't imagine I'm the only user who uses the site in this way, and I'd actually be curious to see how the Crazy Egg stats handle what it may see as duplicate sessions in separate tabs.

    I've my user CP set up on speed dial in firefox. You must get a load of pm's to set it up on what is a most used page for me, I feel left out!

    Hi Czarcasm,

    Good point - While we are generating info for the touchsite, the focus of this run is the web version of the site. I'll be posting the first lot of charts in a bit, you'll see how they reflect behaviour. I don't think you will skew the stats as much as you are working outside the parameters of what we are looking at.

    But thanks for raising it - its good to be aware of this kind of user behaviour. And don't worry, we will be looking for lots of feedback and giving lots of notice before we change anything on any of the sites

    I know, but is a product manager who doesn't make changes a product manager?

    I often click on random unclickable spaces when reading. I sometimes even select text for absolutely no reason.

    I have no idea why. It may well be that I am a crazy person.
    Sorry in advance for messing up your study. :o

    I do that too, but it's so it sounds like I'm working.

    That's an expectation manager. The company that I work in employs loads of them.

    As opposed to those who make too many changes - they're called product manglers.

    I've been highlight and un-highlighting the text I'm reading for years (I can get quite frustrated with those sites with javascript stopping you from selecting texts :P).


    I am however certified as a crazy person, so this may not actually be comforting to you...

    As long as this can't identify how often I personally click into the S&S forum in the vain hope of some depravity then this sounds cool.

    OH HAI DECLAN! :)

    Hi all

    Just a quick update on the heatmapping project. We got the initial reports back late last week but we noticed a few issues with how the information was being processed, so we have decided to look at a different partner. I should be able to post accurate heatmaps later this week.

    Will keep you all in the loop - we've gotten some interesting info back already, but we don't want to put information that is less that accurate out there.

    If it helps my 18 month old created her own heatmap of how I use the site, using crayons, on the screen, although she calculated I use the search box more than I think I do...

    Oh and a delayed welcome....
