Usability: Different colors on Submit Button / New Post Button in Forum

[tueolesen]

In the membership site forum, when writing a new post, there are two buttons:
"Submit post"
"Create new post"

(they are translate in danish)

with the same color/size and with wording that could be mis-interpreted, i have experienced (first hand) confusion:

When i'm done writing a new blog post, i instinctively click the upper right button to create a new post, which then discards all my writing...Bummer!

What i SHOULD do is click the lower left button, but my eyes totally miss it and i get no warnings like "are you sure you want to discard your current post?" before it just happens. Anyone out there who can recognize this?

Suggetions for improvement:

• Make the relevant button GREEN or some bright color
• Ask the user if they are sure before navigating away from the post editor.
• Entirely remove the "Create new post" upper right button - that's not what we want people to do when they are already doing exactly that, and we want them to finish what they are doing.

Best regards,
Tue

Yeah, I think we should just remove that button on that page. I'll let the team know.

Thanks @calvincorreli - Awesome!

This has been fixed now - the "new post" button is removed!
