* If there are no addons in a category, an unfriendly/unstyled message is flashed, and the user is redirected to the front page. ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365853 bug 365853]) | |||

** This is fixed now: The message is still flashed like this, but empty categories are not shown anywhere anymore. If somebody sees this message, they changed URLs by hand. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||

* When browsing by category I don't know which category I am in ("Subscribe to this Category" isn't useful either. What about 'Subscribe to "XYZ"'?) (sancus) | |||
* Categories with only 1 extension/theme directly link to the theme, which is confusing (wenzel) | |||
** This is fixed: browsing was refactored; the pages have a headline now, among other things. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||
* "Other Add-ons" only lists extension names but doesn't offer a link to "traditional" browsing with summaries. | |||

* <strike>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.

[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 14:59, 5 January 2007 (PST) | ||
* How is browsing an extension category going to work? There seems to only be a limited subset of extensions on the preview site, so it’s hard to tell. It looks like a category page has 1 major featured extension, 2 minor featured extensions, and then just a list of other extension titles. It’s a bit hard to browse the current AMO, but a big block of title links seems too condensed. | |||
** With the recent refactoring of the browse pages, this should be fixed. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||

* There are small 'medals' next to extensions on the category pages. However, they don't have tooltips, are not links, and don't resurface on the actual addon page. What do they mean (and can we make that more clear in the actual addons UI)? | |||
** They meant "recommended" but were removed for now. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||
* Could we sort categories, so it becomes easier to find something specific? Right now there's just unsorted lists of about 12-15 items, which is not very easy to use. | |||
** Now they are. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||
* The "New and Updated" list on the "Extensions" page is missing the corner background. | |||
** Thanks, fixed. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||

* There is no information about the last update of an extension (at least in the home page and most probably in the newest page as with current AMO, but I can't say as this page is not available in the preview). This is an important information while browsing extensions. | |||

It's hard to test the Preview site properly with the limited # of addons currently added, but I 2nd everything already said on this page. Have you guys learnt nothing over 3+ revisions of AMO? Users are tearing out their hair crying, "All I want to do is find a specific addon or browse the mass of addons quickly and easily" - and yet with each AMO revision, it continues to be a frustrating experience: | |||
* Why is the Search box STILL at the bottom of the pages and not on every page - instead of being in a standard location at the top - ''so that no scrolling or clicking is required in order to access it''? Enough people voiced their opinion when it was introduced in v2 - and I've yet to see anyone agree with AMO and say it's better on the bottom. This is absolutely ridiculous. | |||
** This is fixed in trunk and was intended since the beginning. Sorry for the confusion. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 10:07, 17 January 2007 (PST) | |||
* The site isn't written in Hebrew or Arabic, and yet the site layout is 'reversed'. I can't imagine the reason for suddenly breaking convention and moving the Menu over to the right. ''(hint: Menus are normally presented on the left in the Western world because we tend to look there first before moving our eyes to the right..)'' | |||
** Don't worry. This was fixed in the trunk recently: The navigation sidebar is on the left now. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||
* What's with [http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/addons/browse/1/16 the layout of the Category pages] (which you arrive at via 'Browse By Category').. 1 seemingly-random addon is prominent(full-width) at the top, with ONLY 2 ITEMS shown below it, sharing the horizontal space (rather than being all the same size, one below the other). What's the little blue-&-yellow icon by the lower 2 and why does the first item not have one? Why bother with an 'Other Add-ons' box at the bottom containing the names of other addons from the same category - after all, aren't I 'Browsing'?? There is no consistency here, nor logic, it seems. | |||
** This is fixed; the browsing page that was published on the alpha page was not done yet. In the trunk, this is now a list similar to the "recommended" page. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||
* As 'Gijs' mentioned, the Category listing pages (such as [http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/addons/browse/1 'Extensions']) now display the categories in a seemingly-random jumble, rather than alphabetically, which is how it used to be. (Could you guys be any more ''obtuse''?) To clarify, the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/ old way] was sorted alphabetically but read left-to-right across rows - better yet would be 3 alphabetically-sorted top-down columns with column separators between them. | |||
** Thanks for your input on how you would like the columns to be formatted. We agreed that this would be a good idea and implemented it this way. This is fixed in the trunk. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||
* It seems (on the ''Recommended Addons page'', anyhow) that the default # of results per page view is 5 - which is far too low. (It used to be 10, what was wrong with that?). And why even waste time with an option of 2 results per page? | |||
** Thanks, good point. I changed these defaults to 10 and removed the "2" option in the pagination component which does this feature for us. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 12:14, 17 January 2007 (PST) | |||
* Broken: The menu's ''"Find Similar Add-ons"'' items are currently linked incorrectly - they point to the Category, but not to the 'type'(1=Ext, 2=Theme), so nothing is found. ex: the Extensions category 'Search Tools' is currently http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/addons/browse/13 - but it should be [http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/addons/browse/1/13 "''../browse/1/13''"] | |||
** links are fixed now. Additionally we are showing all relevant categories there, because this will possibly be of greater use for the user than just seeing a reduced amount of categories there. --[[User:Wenzel|wenzel]] 19:59, 18 January 2007 (PST) | |||
