Add key to milestone priority marker

Reported by Robby Russell | September 20th, 2007 @ 03:40 PM | in Phase Deuce

Noticed this when looking at tickets.

What does the red bar stand for? It's confusing and there isn't anything that explains what it is.

    I got this answered in irc:

    11:55 < dAndy> alright, anybody know what the little red squares indicate in http://myskitch.com/adelcambre/c...

    11:55 < technowee> they're just at the top

    11:56 < technowee> top 5 priority

    11:56 < dAndy> oh i see

    11:56 < dAndy> if there are less than 5 they go away

    11:57 < dAndy> heh, that makes sense, but seemed totally arbitrary before, i keep opening and closing tickets so i have between 4 and 7, and they would disappear and reappear (what

    seemed to be randomly)

    12:21 < imagetic> haha...yeah, when you have a long list it just flags which are your top priority in the order...

    Andy,

    Thanks for looking into this.

    ActiveReload peeps,

    It confused several of us.. some of us don't have five tickets, so we don't have a top X list? It might be more useful to just put numbers next to tickets in this list. Not sure that having the red bars is adding much value when it's quite confusing without an explanation and this isn't explained when looking... nor is it in anyway obvious.

    If it's Top 5, it should use a number next to each or somehow highlight these accordingly.

    This looks like it could be improved by adding a little key somewhere to denote what the red bar was for.
