Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
Jul 30, 2008 12:59

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

Skinners, Artists, Coders, and Testers Needed: Community Suite

Happy Birthday!!

By Posted February 6, 2008 08:49:15External Link
After the success on the Troll Thumping Day Suite some members of the Mother Thumpers are coming together to create the "Happy Birthday Suit(e)".

I envision this suite centered around a DX gadget that counts down to your birthday. On your birthday the gadget will prompt you to download the most recent incarnation of the suite components so for your special day, your desktop will celebrate with you.

At this point we have some components assigned to artists but this is a collaborative project and welcome input and assistance from everyone. Please jump in and help out if you'd like.

WB - Po', theAVMAN(?)
Vista Logon - Pugboy
Sidebar - Mike
Wallpaper - sARRGe, causticFX
Dream - Pugboy
DX Countdown Widget - Po' (but may need some coding help)
DX Clock - HGE
DX weather - HGE
DX calendar - HGE
Tabbed Docks -
Zoomer Docks - zakai1369
Dock icons - pictoratus
IconPackage -
Cursor -
XP Logon - Alperium, sARRGe
Bootskin - Alperium, sARRGe
RightClick - Lantec
Sysmetrix - Lantec
Rainlendar - 2of3
DX Birthday game? (I'm thinking that someone could do a Breakout [cake?] or Asteroids [balloons?] - Haptork

February 6, 2008 11:19:31
Let's call this the recruitment and the other one the work in progress thread. 

I'll change the title of that thread to reflect same.
February 6, 2008 11:24:05
Yea...something else to show me how old I am.  
February 6, 2008 11:26:12
Adding Winamp to the list.  Can I sign you up for that bug?
February 6, 2008 11:26:42
Depending on the time frame, I'll volunteer. Sysmetrix & RightClick
February 6, 2008 11:29:47
Yah sign me up.
February 6, 2008 11:30:34
Depending on the time frame
I think we have to launch this suite on someone's birthday ....
Someone who is taking part s this suite ... or someone secial ...
What about this idea ??????


I think we need a date too.  Who's got a birthday in May?  That's probably enough time to get it done but not so long htat it gets stale (based on the TTD suite)..
February 6, 2008 11:32:31
When is Stardock's birthday?
February 6, 2008 11:33:25
btw I like the white frosting with pastel colours idea for the theme
nothing says happy birthday quite like a birthday cake

I'm a double chocolate fan myself........and I absolutely HATE pastel colors
February 6, 2008 11:48:42
As i said in the other thread, I'd be willing to take a shot at the zoomer and tile docks.
February 6, 2008 11:53:07
I could do two versions of the Winamp
Vanilla and Chocolate


























Dammit , now you got me craving chocolate , and none in the house!
February 6, 2008 12:01:57
Il offer the DX weather, calendar and Clock if needed.
February 6, 2008 12:11:13
I'll do both if you want Zubaz...... No problem.
February 6, 2008 12:13:21
Who's got a birthday in May?



Obviously me ..... on 2nd MAY ......

The suite is for me ???       
February 6, 2008 12:14:41
HGE and BoXXi.  Noted.

Also . . if two people want to either collaborate or do different versions of the same element, I'm cool with that too.  It can follow the TTD mode and have subsets.

My only concern is that the suite be cohesive.  If you want to go off and do something that doesn't fit . . totally cool . . it's just not part of Happy Birthday Suit(e) 
February 6, 2008 12:16:07
Looks like I'm late for this one.
I'd offer to do a dream but it looks like Pugboy has it covered.
Maybe on the next Community Suite.
February 6, 2008 12:24:36
carguy1, we *can* have more than one dream 
Or maybe you and pugboy can collaborate?
Or maybe you can arrange an "accident" that (ready for the pun?) renders him "unavailable"?

If you see a spot I will be glad to help!!!

You and Po did pretty well with the WB of TTD?  You interested in collaborating?  Need to talk to him of course.
The IP slot is still open too.

WAIT A SECOND!!!  Is the TTD all fixed?  And where is my Vista version?!?!? GET BACK IN YOUR CAVE UNTIL TTD IS DONE!!!

I think Zubaz just signed me up to buy OD+ and try my first tabbed dock.
