Again! Wait. It's only the French version of the site which sucks. Everything works well in the en-US version. Editing the subject of a comment seems to change its ID though (but that may be in the FR version only). And being able to delete a comment would be nice. I'll stop spamming you now. Addendum. Again!

That's what missing. Why I got an error message: the link to the comment was 'https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/discussions/comments.php?DiscussionID=33' and now only 'https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/discussions/comments.php?DiscussionID=33' works.

And when I click on a comment I made on the CookieSafe page I get an error message. How can I edit it? Or answer it? I'm back to using reviews as a way of asking about bugs and suggesting improvements, which isn't what a review should be about and is highly impractical when you're trying to talk with the author.

AS SAID IN THE PREVIOUS POST, THEY HELP IN DECIDING WHETHER TO DOWNLOAD THE EXTENSION OR NOT. IT ALSO HELPS THE DEVELOPERS TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW THEIR EXTENSION IS DOING. ATLEAST HAVE IT IN THE DEVELOPER CONTROL PANEL. THERE IS DOWNLOAD COUNT BUT IT IS NOT UPDATED. I WANT THE RATINGS & NUMBER OF DOWNLOADS TO BE BACK.

I'll just post it again (expanded ;-). Download counter is definitely not working which further handicaps extensions in the sandbox getting closer to the editorial panel. I'm not sure if review option is working either (didn't try it yet). I think that sandbox should definitely be accessible to non-registered/logged users, even if it made difficult and with MANY warning/danger signs. As situation is now, there is absolutely no feedback for developers thru the sandbox system, be it in counter numbers, reviews, or non-registered users feedbacks. Makes me think: 'Why did I post it there at the first place?" It would help A LOT if source code (all of it) was accessible thru website. I know that may be a technical issue (reading of jar archives), but maybe submission of 'unpacked' package should be mandatory. If this was the case, I would browse much more thru parts of codes that were interesting to me (as I really don't have time to analyze a 100k+ extension), and would probably give reviews on parts of these codes. This would also help a lot in detecting 'suspicious/potentially dangerous' code lines. I know that development process is full of unpredictable obstacles and that AMO team is exhausted by recent intense events, however, some of the things I mentioned I know require minimal changes, and make huge difference. That's about all I have to say. Take care. It seems my message did not appear for more than a day. I’ll just post it again (expanded ;-) .
