The first time during AddOn detection it will take a little time to match everything up. If you re-launch Minion after that it will only take a few seconds.

What resolution are you running on your desktop? The text doesn't seem that tiny to me running a 27" monitor at 1920x1200?

That is a good idea however there are tooltips if you hover over the version numbers for now. I understand that its nicer to see the entire version string though. Some of the version strings are insanely long but we should be able to accommodate the majority of them.

How many AddOns do you have installed? I see you have 80 AddOns listed as needing updates so I'm wondering if its laggy because of that? Is the Addon list under the "Find more" tab laggy as well? If not that would maybe point to something in the update cell UI causing the lag.

I agree and we have a user story for this and it should eventually get into one of our sprints.

Thank you for this list. I will go over it in detail. Just one thing to keep in mind is that Minion only sees if the version number is different and if so it wants to update the AddOn so it can make sure you have the same version that is on our site. From then on it will keep track of updates as expected. We can certainly make this better when the version numbers are simple int's but when authors start mixing alpha into their versions Minion will only be able to tell if its different. Thats one of the reasons we display both numbers.

Glad that went quickly for you. Minion uses our CDN so AddOns are downloaded from a server closest to you.

This is something in the core vBulletin system causing this. I don't believe its happening to our Addon images if you view them raw?
