We are back (again)

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

So I’ve switched hosts to WebFaction to try out their service. So far it’s a lot better than my old host (I’m going to keep WebFaction around for awhile and if I like it, I’ll cancel my old host’s service [and get a refund]).

I don’t get anything unlimited (so no overselling) but I get the peace of mind that they won’t shut down anything because it’s too popular (unlike my other host). Plus the service is really fast for me. Did you see how fast tabs switch on the homepage? I remember when it used to take forever just for the request to go through.

Most of the site should be running just fine but let me know if you encounter any hiccups via the comments for this post.

ThunderBrowse 3.3.2 released!

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

ThunderBrowse 3.3.2 is now available on AMO.

ThunderBrowse 3.3.2 has been uploaded to AMO

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

I have just uploaded version 3.3.2 to AMO.

In addition to the things I mentioned in my last post, this next version has:

  • New throbber/progress meter code
  • Fixes in tab registration to make it faster and more precise
  • Fixed issue that caused event handlers to unhook incorrectly.
  • Fixed some plugin issues. This may or may not reset your plugin settings. This should fix most of your plugin issues.

A note on the plugin fix: Because plugins have to initialize, they are loaded before a page starts to load. In order to maintain security, any page that was loaded from an email does not have plugins enabled. Pages from there on will have plugins enabled.

Do note, plugins that are in use will increase memory use. There is no way to get around that. However, memory usage should drop a bit when you close those tabs.

We are back

So after a server migration, ThunderBrowse is now back online. Hooray!

I apologize for not giving a heads up to this downtime, I was unaware that the servers were going to go down. But now we don’t have to worry about that!

So basically, the old server went down was because ThunderBrowse was on a shared hosting account and the other people on the server decided to leave but not tell anyone else, thus the hosting account was suspended. This caused everyone to see the account was suspended while I migrated over to a brand new server.

I apologize for any confusion this might have caused. None of your accounts were closed, only our hosting account.

Thanks for understanding and I hope you continue to enjoy using ThunderBrowse.
