voting dialog: reorder columns (to see fast important info)

[Erkan-Yilmaz]

implementation effort: less
gain: much

Personally I want to see each time I open the dialog what has changed since my last visit:

• so I want "Best Answer" seen fast (but currently that is "hidden", see pic in open voting dialog when clicking on "Current Poll" field/line #420)
• thus the software forces me to maximize the window (which is not necessary with proposed change) + lose time

could be realized with moving some of these around:

1. normally the "Title" column and "Question" column say the same, so one of them also should go to the end
2. so to speak: "share type" is irrelevant for voters
3. the column "Answers" is not relevant as much for me as the "Best answer" column, so move it to end (at the most right position)

I agree that the columns need some serious cleaning up. @skcin Should we do some house cleaning in your dialog -> tab branch?

It is easy to remove and add fields. The difficult part is what fields to keep, order and size.

see pic here: this is how I'd personally prefer it

[tomasbrod]

I write it here in text:

1. time left (auto-scaled to day/week/month/minute)
2. poll title (*1)
3. popular option
4. percent of shares for popular option
5. count of voters (*2)
6. average vote share (*3)
7. total shares (auto scaled to k/M/G)

Note *1) we also have poll question, but I agree that it should be sightly longer explanation of the poll and shown only when viewing poll details/voting.
Note *2) This will be difficult or manipulable for balance only polls
Note *3) I don't see how this field is important

thx @tomasbrod

the idea for "average vote share (*3)" / "total shares per voters" was:

• if more people with high shares voted in that poll, or vice versa

[skcin]

@denravonska ok, we can put the changes in that branch

[skcin]

I think I will put this in the #517 PR too, making a big UI overhaul.

[denravonska]

Fixed.
