Potentially making freshness indicator easier for people to notice could also be a solution to T308026

Here is a mockup of what the page would look like (before scroll) with the Add Topic button:

@matmarex +1 good catch.

Uncollapsing only one might just make it so that's the only section they think exist.

+1 I am in favor option 2. I assume this would have a small card with a dropdown of item(s)

I think that you should move forward with documenting the current red link states and then any changes that need to be made should be added as future issues.

I'm not sure if this is a speed issue, but on user talk pages, when testers posted a comment in the discussion, there was a significant delay to updating the freshness feed.

In usability Test D T307845, one participant expanded the conversation within the mobile display but didn't notice any change in the interface.

Here are the findings for senior testers:

Here are the findings from the test that was run for junior contributors:

I re-ran the whole test with junior contributors because @ppelberg correctly identified that the first round of tests were exclusively senior contributors. Here are the results specific to junior contributors:

I've added the findings to the description.
The next step here is to identify what tickets need to be written as a result of these findings.

I've updated the task with findings. I don't see any new tickets as a result of this round of testing.

+1 I think this can be closed the flow of Juniors starting a new discussion on mobile happens in Test D T307845

Nice work @Esanders

The desktop and mobile tests are up on usertesting.com right now and in progress.

Nice @Esanders thanks for picking it up

I've identified two bugs as part of this round of testing:

@ppelberg I've filed all of the tasks associated with the ticket. I am moving this over to Needs Discussion/Investigation as I wasn't sure what to do next with the ticket.

@Jacqui.Clydesdale - can you take a look at these explorations from a grammar perspective? Specifically, I'm wondering about the spacing after the colon - can you confirm that is a best practice?

I'm updating this to include desktop as this happened on one of the usability tests (as part of testing when a senior contributor visits Junior contributor's empty user talk page) T307840

• Feature: Consider adding an undo button to mobile reply interface. T308033
• Usability Problem: Make search for users using the @mention feature a more obvious affordance T308029
• Usability Problem: Consider having at least one dropdown on mobile expanded by default on Talk Pages with discussions. T308026
• Usability Problem: Ensure mobile reply tool is in visual editor mode by default. T308025
• Usability Problem: Consider a different icon for switching modes in mobile (this could also be a non issue if we were to remove source mode from mobile). T308024

I've updated the task description with the findings.

I'm going to add child tickets for each Test that we are running because it will get confusing.
