 Description  « Hide
Moodle's user profile has "regular" options and "advanced" options. The advanced options are not displayed by default, but appear only when the user has activated the "Show advanced" button.

Once activated, the advanced options are blended in with the regular options. E.g., the options list may start like this:

* Regular option 1
* Regular option 2
* Regular option 3

After "Show advanced" is activated, options may appear this way:

* Regular option 1
* Advanced option 1
* Regular option 2
* Regular option 3
* Advanced option 2
* Advanced option 3

Why it matters

Every user had much trouble with this arrangement. One user failed entirely and had to be told how to find the advanced options. Every user had to read the entire list of options again to find the advanced ones, and sometimes they missed one and had to read the list again.

Possible solution

"Advanced" options should be shown by default; the "Show advanced" button should be removed.
