Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility

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.

Might be a Vista thing. AVG 8.0 free, WindowBlinds 6.1 (build 55 x86), Windows XP Pro SP3 here, and all skinning *appears* to be working correctly. Consider upgrading your PC to WinXP.

ve3tgy I have a similiar system to OpusCroakus and I am not having any problems. Yeah not much help since we are not on Vista.

First, is the skin you are using one that you had no problems with before?

I had no reason to check but I'll take it that AVG version 8 is Vista ready, yeah silly question.

Did you recently download an update for WB's? If so it's possible that you may have gotten a bad download.

Did you make any recent changes or download any other new software?

I loved AVG 7.5, 8.0 blows. I had no problem with WB, after all I've been upgraded to XP. I didn't like 8.0 at all. I felt it wasn't as customizable as 7.5. Too intrusive. I switched to Avast and I love it.

These are my results from trying out AVG8.0 on my 32bit Vista rig.From my earlier post. "FYI:My findings. AVG8.0 pins my cpu at 100% on startup for 8 minutes,then drops to 50-70% during it's 140 miute scan. 50,000k +ram use. Active AV/antispyware kept it humming at 38-55% all the time. Avast;20-30% on startup for 2minutes, 10-30% during it's 80 minute scan.11,000k. Active AV/AS......hello...tap,...tap,tap...Is this thing on? 00-4% if I stare at task manager long enough to see it.This with 6 of 7 providers running(one's a boot scan) Plus it's skinnable! Btw,AMD64@2.4ghz,1.5gb ram 6 month old Compaq PC. Any guess what I'm using now?" [Your mileage may vary.]

Well I found where my problem is . It seems that windowsblinds 6.10 is the problem after removing 6.10 and stepping back to 6.01 the issues I was seeing are gone. I have a clean install of Vista and did not encounter the problem until taking the upgrade from Stardock Central to version 6.10.

What do you mean by not skinning properly?

I have installed AVG 8 here on Vista and cannot see any problems.

Did you install WB6.1 after installing AVG 8?

Well I have done the WB upgrade after installing Avg 8 the latest attempt.
And on a previous install have installed Avg 8 after having WB 6.1 installed and have the same issues.
By that I mean that title bars and buttons are not skining properly.

I have now rolled back my NVIDA driver back to the driver that Vista installed and it looks like the issues have disappeared ! Running again with WB 6.1
