701209 - Category previews promise banners that aren't actually available

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox Affiliates Graveyard :: affiliates.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

The individual categories (mobile, desktop, etc.) show banner previews that are not actually available. That's confusing/sad:

- I look at one of those banners and think, cool, I want that on my blog.
- I click on it, and am presented with a completely different set of banners, none of which I like.
- go back to step 1, pick a different category
- lather, rinse, repeat, for all (!) categories

I'd suggest to either change the preview images so they show something I can actually get, or to take the current previews and make them available inside the category as an option.

chelsea: Can you have preview images made using existing banners? cmore can upload them as soon as they're done.

It looks like the only one that doesn't match is mobile. Will post a new preview shortly.

Reopening. The preview image displayed (attachment 573818 [details]) does not match the banner that you end up with. 

There is a slight different, the actual banner that is produced contains a "Download Firefox for Android" arrow on it.

Hey Matt, 

The preview image is cropped from the 160x600 red banner which is available. Let me know if I'm missing something. 

Thanks!
Chelsea

Thx for nudging the bug :chelsea. You're right .. the issue is no more. I bet its been surpassed and fixed by time.
