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.

Web site Beta Testers needed !! Thomas and Myself have been working on a new community web site devoted to DesktopX, the goal is to have a central location for things like: Tutorials Code Snippits Project News etc. The site is very much still in the BETA stage, but we want to try and get some feedback on what people think we should add, or change. Please use this thread to post comments, problems, suggestions. Thanks!

sViz,

Approved the code snippet. Thomas, we need some kind of notification email sent to me/you when someone posts a snippet or other item that needs approval. Also, need a way to delete them as well.

Do you guys plan on adding a forum section or a chat box?

Also, can members submit news or will there be a separate article section?

I think a monthly best of DesktopX article would be a good addition. Choose some of the best widgets, gadgets, etc uploaded in the last month that exemplify the creativity of DX.
ID has his "this month in Dreams", I don't see why (with content) we can't do the same.  I'll help write it with the DX-er input.

Cool! I was mulling over the idea the other day, and figured to get a complete spectrum (there tends to be more weather widgets submitted in a month than anything else), there might need to be categories.

Best Weather/clock/general info widget-- weather, clocks, system meters etc
Most creative/original-- outside the box stuff
Most innovative/resourceful-- think Vad_M's Weather Lab
Best DX theme

...to name a few.

The DX galleries are slow so if there aren't enough to feature you could go back to older submissions.

hey all.. we are working on some of these issues. SirSmiley, can you email me or Tom to let us know the RIGHT email address? I think we should be able to keep the user names (not 100% sure, will see what i can do).

Please email me with anything important.

Eh, you mean the all-time most downloaded? That has its own stat page, though. Why not some good ones that have been recently uploaded?

WC user stats,(too bad it's buggy),


Ya mean my WC User Activity Stats? You should probably re-download as I have since updated it. (WC site changes made it go wacky. If you currently don't see any names listed, it's because WC doesn't hasn't fixed that yet.)

I guess this would be a bit biased at time, but the idea is good... Maybe if you create severals Top X widgets criteria like:
Top X widget (creativity)
Top X widget (....)
Top X widget (useful)
Top X widget (Downloaded Last week)
Top X widget (Downloaded 30 days)
Top X widget (Downloaded Last year)
Top X widget (Downloaded Anytime)

Top downloaded does not equal what you, the DX coders, think is teh best.

There may be very popular clocks that are the top downloaded of all time . . but unless they do something amazing . . there's no need to be on our list.

Martin's weather script might be something we feature . . but we may not feature any actual gadgets.

Thanks,sVis(and no slur on anyone's work was intended,btw) I'll replace it today, it used to black screen on me when changing colors or adding names to the list. I hope WC gets the names back soon. Also,for SirSmiley, I can't get this Folder Icon Changer to work at all, it's probably me. Will this work w/Vista,and if not could you please update it? WWW LinkIt would go to the top of my list! Thanks.

Anyone know if Vista uses Desktop.ini files? If the answer is yes, then off the top of my head with out looking at the script this should work.

Will have a look at it when I get a chance or need a break from this birthday list widget.
