When on node/add there's no indication that you can create additional content types - some users get here first.

Solution: 
Add a link for users with 'administer content types' permissions.

When you are looking at selecting a new theme or finding out which one is enabled, it is hard to find out which one is selected.

All themes being blue makes it difficult to know what theme is enabled.

Save button is far from required fields

It is easy to miss the save button because it is far from the active or required fields. An example is on the block admin page where the active/changed item cold be at the top and with many blocks the the save button is far away at the bottom.

List of menu not formatted correctly

The admin/build/menu page is formatted as a definition list which makes things look like help. These types of lists are almost always formatted to tables.

Region Indicators Deceptive

Participant 4

On admin/build/block, the user was confused as to what the *new* regions were. He thought that it would be nice if he could drag blocks to the region directly and add content from the region itself. This is not stating a solution, but merely stating what the user found.

Implications: 

Another point of confusion is the dotted lines. This is becoming a universal symbol for a droppable region.

No "empty text" Table Row For Empty Menus

Participant 4

After creating a new menu, the "empty text" of "No menu items" is not in a table, it's simply plain text. Users do not ever read this far down the page since they think that it is part of the help text. No call to action to add a new menu item.

Implications: 

After creating a new menu, it's not clear how or why they need to add an item to the menu.

Users Expect Disable Blocks Be Displayed Separately or Differently

When looking at admin/build/block, Users expected to see some kind of difference between the active region area and the list of disabled blocks.

Implications: 

User didn't see the disabled blocks section because it was so far down the page.
