troubleshooting/#new-post
I think users would receive a better experience if the descriptiveness of
labels are improved in the form to create a new thread.
Specifically this is regarding the "Version" label. There is information
beneath it explaining what it means ("Select the version of WordPress you
are using."), but I think there's no reason for that information not to be
inside the label itself.
For instance the label could be improved to "Select the version of
WordPress you are using".
Currently the help text is outside of the label and is not associated with
ARIA, so it wouldn't be picked up by assistive technologies. However I
wouldn't think this is a case where it's necessary to put text outside of
the label.
On a relating note, could there be a label added to the comment (textarea)
field?
