FAQ Updated

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

I’ve gone through and updated the FAQ with better answers, more organization and better readability. Questions are now organized into sections based on common topics (like Plugin Issues), so you can quickly find the answer you want.

The FAQ is so much better now! :D Check it out: http://thunderbrowse.com/thunderblog/faq/

A long needed update

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

NOTE: Version 3.2.9 has been canceled. All code from this version has merged into Version 3.3.

Sorry that I haven’t updated this blog for awhile. Yes, I’m still alive (barely) and I’ve been really busy with school work, job applications, financial aid paperwork and so forth.

Because I’ve been so busy, my emails have been stockpiling up. A few of you are complaining about how ThunderBrowse doesn’t work in the newest Thunderbird (yet I’m currently using the newest Thunderbird and I am not having any problems [please screenshot it to me if you found a bug]).

I do know about the left click new tab issue. Fixing it is pretty complex and when I have the chance, I’ll try to sit down and fix it.

Now hold on, Imma gonna let this blog finish but let me make a couple of notes here:

  1. If you’ve been noticing problems in translations, please notify the translators at babelzilla.org forums (specifically this thread). I do not do translations myself.
  2. If you have been noticing problems in my grammar/spelling, thank you. I am a native English speaker and I tend to be very watchful of my spelling and/or grammar. Normally when I’m writing software documentation/string translations, it tends to be very late and I start making lots of mistakes.
  3. If you have donated in the last two months, I’m very sorry about not sending out thank you responses. As I’ve said, I’ve been very busy with work and have been unable to thank you for your kind donations.
  4. The new version of ThunderBrowse has been delayed for awhile. I apologize for this and I’ll try to get it out when I can.
  5. For those asking about NoScript support, do realize I am not the author of the NoScript extension. If you want NoScript support for Thunderbird, contact the developer and not me.
  6. Do not file bug reports asking for support. Mantis is not for support requests, it is for bug reports. I offer support at the email specified on the contact page.

That about wraps it up in terms of what’s going on. Hopefully this helps out those who are curious.

Installed IntenseDebate

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

I installed IntenseDebate as the new commenting system. The reason being that it makes it a bit easier to read comments with its threading features.

Plus it just works without me having to go and change a bunch of stuff.

Some Updates

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Alright, so here’s what I’ve been doing:

  1. I’m planning on uploading 3.2.7 tomorrow. Most locales are complete, and those that aren’t, well then you get to have English strings as well until they are finished.
  2. Some of you were worried that the left click improvements will apply all the time. It does not. The new filter is only for the Open Left Click Links in a New Tab setting.
  3. I haven’t checked the bug tracker in awhile.
  4. Stop filing support requests into the bug tracker.
  5. If you recently sent me a support email, I probably haven’t gotten around to answering it.
  6. I got myself too many games during the Steam sale. Most of them were because I was interested in the game mechanics (helps out with school work on Game Design [I go to a video game college, mind you]). Others were ones I wanted to pick up because I wanted them for awhile. Then the rest were because the game was really cheap (like under $3 dollars).
  7. I’ve been playing Mass Effect. I beat it almost 100% complete in about 24 hours. I went on to finish almost all (except for a few scavenger ones) sidequests in about 11 hours.
  8. t-rane updated his Office 2007 Black theme to support ThunderBrowse. Very cool. I haven’t gotten to use it yet, but it looks really nice.
  9. I’ve updated all urlbar images used in ThunderBrowse to display the image via CSS. This means if you are a theme designer, you can now change the images for the urlbar easily.
  10. I think you guys will love the new update.

Yes, I did have a good Christmas, and I really appreciate the nice people that donated to me near the end of last month. If you were one of those people, I sincerely thank you for doing so. Props to you.
