Much improved. Thanks for listening, Jason.

Goes to show the you can always improve on improvement.

Deja vu.

Did you already write tomorrow’s post about how you added a calculation which tells people HOW CLOSE to their five page limit they are?

Nice tip in for mentioning the calendar feature, too.

Awesome, guys. Much cleaner layout.

Sooooo…think you’ll be adding OpenID to Campfire any time soon? Just asking. :)

Hm, I just created my first page, but the “You’re on the free plan and close to your 5 page limit”-box is still there. Why?

Have you thought about something like, “2 pages remaining” like gmail does with their invites?

Sounds a bit like the ‘Last 5 Rizzla’ slip you get in a pack of rolling papers – such a good idea all the brands of rolling paper do it now.

Certainly better. As I mentioned in the previous post’s comments, I agree with Pat’s suggestion.

Hey, nice to see you took my advice. I take payment for my consultancy by cheque, money order… ;)

Seriously, I like this much better. Great work fellas.

Hi guys,

A small suggestion: when all five pages have been used up, how about placing the yellow sticky in a way that it overlaps the “make a new page” button. Some users might just look for the button and get frustrated when they don’t find it. Partially covering the button with the note would instantly tell the user that things are different this time, but it would still give the user the familiarity of seeing the button in the same place they’ve always looked for it.

Hmmm, heh, I might be the ugly duckling, but it has become much more violent this way for me :-/

See, I’m only using 3 pages (one for stuff at work, one to handle my D&D house rules, and other for the current campaign I’m running), and I don’t plan on adding new pages soon. I might do so in a couple weeks, but not yet, so I have to see the banner all the time I’m using my backpack.

It would only take a “hide me”, like the welcome tab, and you could re show it every time I add a page, so I can know for sure how it goes?

Just a suggestion. Other than that the new backpack has been great :)

Brilliant idea Nicolas. Thanks for very interesting article. btw. I really enjoyed reading all of your articles. It’s interesting to read ideas, and observations from someone else’s point of view… makes you think more. Keep up the good work. Greetings

kind of seems like common sense, no? I guess it can be hard to see that sort of thing sometime though.

Broken link to yesterday’s post…

I like the new friendly well timed tone ;O). But I wonder a bit. In all this talk about friendly design, I wonder why we have to scroll back to the beginning of an article to give a comment?

Wouldn’t it be easier and more user friendly with a “Post a comment” button at the top and bottom of the article?

Maybe OnClick it should Show/Hide the comment form?

NB: I love your work… :O)

I’m on the paid plan and reached my limit and the message says “The free plan only includes 5 pages…”

Great strategy. In fact, I like it so much that I’ve been doing it from day one on Cashboard :)

It’s stuff like this that really impresses your customers.

I’ve been using backpack for several years now (for some of that time I had a payed account) but currently I have a free account because five pages is all I need. I find it pretty irritating that the page limit warning never goes away—I know I’m at my limit and I could get more, but I don’t need more right now.

Maybe you could have the warning disappear after a few days/logins of being at the page limit? Or at least have a smaller less in-your-face warning (Simply “Upgrade for more pages” instead of the old button, rather than a giant yellow square every time I log in?).

I use stylish to let it dissappear :-)

@Mimo: Ditto.

Awesome guys. Really love the calendar feature.

Is my web in spain, news in the word ,in spanish, and meteorological weather in europe, for you only :-)

Great compromise. I love it, and I love the fact that you actually take the time to consider these issues (at least publicly) and put real thought into how to address them.

do you guys use photoshop/fireworks/whatever when working on your designs or do you go vi/notepad/whatever straight ahead? do those tools apply for these small changes?
