Thanks, Pau, really appreciate your quick turnaround with this prototype.
I just tried it and the user experience worked for me. I didn’t miss the sliding panel approach we had before — which was nice, but not worth the confusion caused by counterintuitive arrow keys.
Before you show the prototype to casual users, it would be great to change the direction of the arrows, so they get the whole experience as it is intended to work. Maybe that’s something that Mark could help you with, when he returns from his one-day vacation on Monday.
Thanks again for your willingness to try this alternative. I know it’s not your first choice, but I think it’s worth exploring, since quite a few people have expressed confusion about this issue.

I recommend that Pau look into an alternative design along those lines, create a quick prototype and discuss it with users
I've just created a very basic CSS override. I added instructions on how to try it on the mingle card comments with an existing test account, but you can also add the following CSS to your common.css: .mw-mmv-image-wrapper, .mw-mmv-post-image{ position:initial; }
Even though there are details to polish to be called a prototype, my initial impression is that it does not feel as good as our current approach, but feel free to provide any feedback.
This seems like the kind of thing to throw a few quick hallway tests at.
Yes. If someone provides me with the JS snippet to be added to common.js, setting this up and testing should be really fast. If this the JS is more complex than it seems, I can also create a quick prototype.
