Re: Extensions categories = most, top, new, hot, editors pick, etc

I see you did adjust something...as lists do look different now and definitely much better. 1. Could you share how calculations are done behind scenes? 2. How are extensions in category sorted? Is it same as "Most popular Extensions" area, or just stars count? (should be same as "most popular" sort ...

Re: Extensions categories = most, top, new, hot, editors pick, etc

I think you are incorrect in both, but I am not sure. It is exactly what I complain about here, everybody only speculates what what means, so these stas do not really helpful.

I would appreciate if an extension area admin would give us a real meaning of things.

Re: Hot Extensions

Only manual type of 'whatever' should be Editors pick, which I believe is manual. That section is nice but with no review or similar type of editors comments why editors selected that extension in that group, how does it compare to other extensions in the same group and/or what features extensions h...

Re: Hot Extensions

Re: Hot Extensions

well, if this is your idea of "hot" property, you definitely should rethink your "most popular" section. As two of those differ only in 'set average' not present in "most popular". (or the other way around, rethink hot property) This is why you have all new extensions listed as most popular (which i...

Re: Extensions categories = most, top, new, hot, editors pick, etc

I will appreciate it and I am sure community will do as well, but if you remember our emails, these questions and comments are as old as whole Extensions website itself, you did correct few things I pointed out but you never changed anything about your categories and how are they calculated, calcula...

This label will show up if the extension can meet a set average of visits pr. day.
What exactly is that "set average of visits per day"?

Re: Extensions categories = most, top, new, hot, editors pick, etc

Add-on: "Editors pick" area, could you tell us how often do editors reevaluate extensions to maintain your Editors pick selection? What is your selection based on and why should community follow it (I do not see some kind of professional review on extensions in your Editors pick, Pros and Cons or so...

Is it possible to show an exact calculated value instead of stars when it comes to rating extensions? How often do you reevaluate your "Editor's Pick" section? It would be nice if vi...
