Re: New vPanel Design
I agree--looks pretty good, but it depends on how the categories are ultimately laid out.
One usability issue I have with the current vPanel, that I haven't seen mentioned lately, is that it relies very heavily on dropdown menus. When there are situations where I have five or less items to choose between, I'd far prefer radio buttons, because all of my choices are visible, and it's a single click to make my selection. Using Tim's screenshot above, I'd recommend that the controls for "Start option", "End option", and "Schedule Every" be changed to a more user-friendly method. Seriously--why should I have to click twice to change a "disabled" to "enabled"?
As another example, every option on the "Features" page (as laid out in the current vPanel) should be managed by radio buttons. The options that require space for the user to specify a number (failover and forwarding) would have that field displayed next to the "Forward To" radio button...
I know I've brought this up before, and (in case it isn't obvious), this is a big pet peeve of mine. I'm not asking you to change it just to make me happy, but because the other selection method would make vPanel MUCH more user-friendly.
