Rob,
I'd say this is pretty risky. Unless you can see your participants
interacting with the website in question, you have no way to evaluate their
comments.
I can't count the number of times I've sat through sessions with people who
couldn't complete most of the tasks I'd ask them to do with

Thanks for the example.

Caroline, I will however try your recommendation with moving the Previous
to the left side because as you state, I have already captured the point
with the Next button being vertically on the top.
In my next opportunity to do this, I honestly will.
It's possible that the label might make up for button clarity, but that
would be so dependent on execution I wouldn't do it. Labels are never as
powerful affordances as the controls themselves. Why gamble?

Hi Rob,
I can't think of a research question that could be more effectively and
reliably answered by chatting with users than by asking them for a hands-on
demonstration, but that doesn't mean no such thing exists. What do you want
to get out of your field research? And why are you hoping to get

they've gotten frustrated they'll often couch their complaints in excuses

Would you be willing to watch similar ads at log-in time? Just curious.

For Facebook or Salon? I (willingly) pay for Salon as part of a
package deal, in part so I don't have to wade through ads.
For FB? I dunno. They can't even implement a model that keeps me
logged in correctly, I'm not sure I'd tolerate ads on top of that.
However, I get little value out
