completely non-functional when not logged in to delicious #10

Closed aspiers closed 12 years ago

aspiers commented 12 years ago

If I'm not logged in to delicious and I click on the extension icon, a window pops up, loads something, and immediately vanishes again. I'm assuming it's supposed to pop up a login window, but the only way I can get it to work is by manually visiting delicious.com in a new tab and logging in via the website. Then the popup no longer vanishes.

I just realized that this is the issue I had been having as well -- the window would pop, start to load, but then vanish. I'm glad that I was able to fix it, but this definitely qualifies as a glitch, because there isn't anything that TELLS you that the reason it's not working is simply because you're not logged in. Thanks to "aspiers", though...

I've been having this same problem too, and as Malikg says there is nothing to tell you why the window won't stay on screen, it just pops up momentarily then vanishes again for no apparent reason. A lot of users won't find this site to find out why this is happening, so something in the extension really needs to tell us that we aren't logged in rather than just not working! At the moment it looks like a bug in the extension rather than something easily fixable by the user.

[raises hand] same issue here. This is a usability bug, if an active login session is required, let users know!

If you're not logged in, the popup now displays the login page: http://cl.ly/233q2a0Q0s2o1u0o0Q3E

This is working again after some work on a related bug, where our popup was auto-closing other Chrome tabs/windows.

Thanks for the feedback, and please feel free to reopen and/or comment.
