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.

Skinstudio bug report.

The latest 5.00.047 build of Skinstudio doesn't open. It starts but then when trying to select a skin to open it stalls. I unistalled and reinstalled but no change. It did work this morning before rebooting. When I cam back this afternoon, no workie.

XP SP2

Donm't know what else to add.
I went back to 4.9.5 build 1100 and it works fine.

It is hit and miss. Just opened SKS 5 times, 2 times worked three times stalls when opening a skin.
From both File then open and from open button. When stalls have to end task with Task Manager.

Exact same odd behavior here. Task manager shutdown only too.

Skinstudio 4.9.5 crashes every ten minutes. It stops painting properly and just becomes a mess of images overlaying each other.


On the windownlinds 5.0 side, I also randomly lose my scroll bars and the skin previews in windowblinds configuration go missing. Sometimes it is all skins, sometimes it is just a few. Rebooting, uninstalling reinstalling, and changing skins doesn't fix it.
This has been off and on for awhile now but got very bad today.

Complete uninstall and reinstall of Windowblinds and Skinstudio resulted in many fixes. Skinstudio 5.00.047 when opened still takes about a minute to load. Then I can open a skin.

I will have to try uninstall reinstall before I work on my next WB.

Sorry to interrupt your talking to yourself NT.

Not having a good week over here. I updated Icon packager to the latest 3.1 version. After activating it, I closed iconpackager and it crashed my system. Upon reboot, windowblinds kept crashing Explorer.
Now running naked XP. I'm gonna uninstall Icon packager, windowblinds, and skinstudio and await further instructions. I appreciate any help.

Trying to uninstall Stardock Central, uninstaller doesn't work , it freezes right at the beginning.

Complete system failure...reformatting.
December 16, 2005 06:11:46
reformat complete.

Reinstallation of WB 5.0 , Skinstudio, 5.0 and Icon pack 3.1 went ok.

Skinstudio still has a lag when starting.

Sorry about all the problems you had, NT...what a bummer!

I noticed that Skinstudio 5.0 lags too when starting, but I haven't had any crashes or anything. I just figured it is a quirk with this update.

I wish there was some documentation with this update. I don't understand the per pixil thing. I noticed in the Windows section there are those extra windows (translucency, etc.)...don't have a clue what to do there!

Hey NT sorry about the problems you are having but you really have to stop talking to yourself dude.

I think he's hoping for a bit of help from the creators.

Talking to one self when having problems becomes quite common here... There seem to be some incompatibilities of some OD apps going on. I have weird problems, too.
December 16, 2005 12:13:48
It was only my intention to notify the developers about the Skinstudio issue. The rest snowballed from there and I figured I would keep a log for what purposes, I do not know. Things are working fine now though. *KNOCK ON WOOD*
