Member List: Button and Filter Placement

[DJCrashdummy]

beforehand: congrats for the redesign! 👏 - after a few minutes adjustment to it, it looks & feels much cleaner and straight forward. 👍

but one thing seems pretty insane to me from the UX-point of view: why isn't in the right panal the invite-button swapped with the filter?!?

• filters are usually placed above lists they filter (like in the left panel for the rooms)
• this would make the UI even more consistent (both filters are above its list and even at the same hight)
• i'm pretty sure the filter is more often used (considering all users and time - only the admin/mod invites a user just once, but many user look for him probably more than once)
• the only argument about not swapping these two may be, that newbies perhaps won't find the invite-button if it is "hidden" at the right bottom... BUT as this is the only coloured button, this won't happen (often). - if you're looking for it, you'll find it. 😉

Thanks for the suggestion 😁

I think you've intuited correctly why the invite button is where it is (I think the bottom right is the least looked-at part of any UX if I'm remembering correctly).

We'll certainly bear this in mind as we iterate on the UX!

[DJCrashdummy]

well, there is only one argument (against many others) to not swap these two buttons... and as long as the invite-button is the only coloured button in the whole UI it is even a very weak one!

On the note of the invite-button, it's very attention grabbing as it's the only coloured thing of the entire interface, so for me it's rather distracting.

Just my first impression as a new user

[DJCrashdummy]

yes @nuflowx, this also crossed my mind... another reason why i personally would move it to the bottom anyway.

Came here to support switching filter and invite button.

I also think that the filter should be at the top and the invitation button at the bottom.
