Remora Alpha Feedback

This is the feedback for the Remora Alpha Preview we fixed / dealt with, for reference.

fligtar's comments

  • Home is listed on both the top menu and the side menu. It seems a little strange and would be more appropriate to only be on the top menu.
    • That was fixed with the introduction of breadcrumbs. --wenzel 10:24, 16 January 2007 (PST)
  • Having the search box at the bottom is too annoying. I don't want to have to scroll down to search. I also think there should be a search box somewhere on every page, as before the reskinning. AMO search doesn't suck now (hopefully) so we should make sure it's used instead Google on site:addons.mozilla.org which is how I currently find things. (bug 365918)
    • I fixed this. We have a search box on top of every page now. Bug closed. --wenzel 15:48, 12 January 2007 (PST)

  • the language list in the footer should select the language I'm currently browsing in, not always "English (US)" -- will fix. wenzel -- is fixed. wenzel 09:59, 3 January 2007 (PST)
  • on /addons/display, there is no way to see a single review without clicking "see all reviews" -- will fix. wenzel -- fixed. wenzel 12:27, 3 January 2007 (PST)
  • when adding a review, the "rating" can be any positive number -- will fix. wenzel -- fixed. wenzel 13:31, 3 January 2007 (PST)
  • When a user creates an account, they only see a "created successfully" flash. When they try to login, it says they have to confirm their account first, but it never says how. -- will fix. wenzel
    • is fixed. We display a much nicer page now. --wenzel 10:24, 16 January 2007 (PST)

wenzel's comments

  • Add-on lists (like search) don't say "version" before the number, while featured add-ons while browsing a single category do. -- will fix. wenzel -- fixed. wenzel 14:35, 5 January 2007 (PST)
  • The addon display page doesn't show the latest version by default, unlike the search and recommended addons page. -- fixed. wenzel 15:13, 5 January 2007 (PST)
  • Since an alpha version still comes with a few 404 errors, if shouldn't be the default cake page (bug 358098) -- fixed. wenzel 16:57, 8 January 2007 (PST)
  • Browse Add-ons page is kind of unfriendly and doesn't quite say what it is/does.
    • I made this a little less painful for now. Further improvements gladly accepted ;) --wenzel 10:24, 16 January 2007 (PST)

xeen's comments

  • First page should explain what Add-Ons are before offering one. Experienced users can skip the explanation and scroll down, but my mum should read what extensions are anyway before. (fixed -- wenzel)

dria's comments

  • User account creation needs some UE love, but I suspect you already know that. fixed in SVN r1464. A much nicer confirmation page is now shown. --wenzel 15:45, 12 January 2007 (PST)

max's comments (from blog)

  • No RSS 1.0 feeds
    • That's true. Is there a common reason to require RSS 1.0? -- wenzel 15:01, 5 January 2007 (PST)

Myk's comments (from blog)

  • As with the current site, the search field is below the fold. (no scrolling should be required). -- mentioned by fligtar above. wenzel 14:59, 5 January 2007 (PST)
  • The Register and Login links are separated by vertical bars, but the Home, Browse, Search, and Discussions links are separated by dots, so at first I thought the latter were breadcrumbs, and I was confused about why Search was underneath Browse. Since they’re not breadcrumbs, it’s probably better to separate them by bars. fixed: We now have bread crumbs just like m.com --wenzel 15:27, 12 January 2007 (PST)
  • “Login” should probably be the verb “Log In”, since “Register” is a verb. fixed. wenzel 11:41, 10 January 2007 (PST)

dolske's comments (from blog)

  • The home page is a bit disorienting. Lots of text, and the most visually prominent stuff tends to be around the “featured extension,” which almost certainly isn’t what I’m looking for and is constantly changing. Something strong and static that lets me know “this is AMO” would be helpful.
    • We put the "what are add-ons?" text on top now. Hope that helps with this issue. -- wenzel 14:59, 5 January 2007 (PST)
  • Speaking of categories, I don’t see anything that identifies what category (section) I’m looking at. -- mentioned by xeen above. wenzel 14:59, 5 January 2007 (PST)

Gijs' (Hannibal's) comments

  • Author links on recommended add-ons page are 404s. I don't see 404s however I mentioned that author links need to be fixed above. wenzel 11:26, 10 January 2007 (PST)
  • Extension pages have both a cut-off italic summary, and a full summary. Shouldn't the italic thing be scrapped? I don't really see the use of the duplicate text. Mentioned by xeen above, sorry. GijsKruitbosch 01:05, 10 January 2007 (PST)

DonGato's comments

  • The search should be at the top of each page and less prominent. Maybe where register and login links are. see fligtar's section above. wenzel
