Hi,
I totally agree that this should be changed. I like your solution #3 with the checkbox.
Blake, I can see your point about wanting to give positive feedback. But this feedback is way more likely to be annoying than uplifting. It's okay if you get it once, but nobody will feel positively re

I also think a link on the "latest activity" list would be very useful.

little strange to me)

Also Iove the idea of having a scaling tool in iD - would second that

On the other hand I don't have much practical use for the new mirroring tools.
Maybe others have the same priorities?

I started some tracing in task #1515 (Mochendi, Botswana). I opened a tile

from the Bing imagery. Between them they were very consistent, so I figured it

But I also think it IS a success. Like Wikipedia it is often chaotic, it is very often inconsistent and yet I

Hi Joshua,
if you do the "fix alignment", you actually move the image, not the data. As
far as I know usually Bing is used as the reference imagery, so I would not
adjust that. If the other shapes are not aligned, the other people have
probably used different imagery and not adjusted that.
