==Automatic Log-in Option== | |||
Why oh why in this day and age is AMO one of the few sites around that have no option to automatically log a user in whenever they are visiting the site? It is an unnecessary inconvenience to have to click 'Log In' every time I visit and wish to install an Experimental add-on, rate an add-on, or leave feedback (the last 2 are grayed-out unless you are logged-in). | |||
It may only take a few seconds to do, but it seems to me that considering the many thousands of weekly downloads most good extensions get, the low number of reviews left suggests that people simply aren't bothering to log-in. So not only would an automatic log-in option be a time-saver, but it would benefit the site, the developers who have put in their hard work, and the users who are looking for good feedback on add-ons as they are browsing. | |||
Ideally, it should be a set-able option available under ''My Account'', but how could it be made discoverable (so that most users can enable it)? | |||
