Re: Version 0.9 beta
I've extracted the zip file, but not sure how to install it.
Could you help?
Thanks

Sounds like a site issue, if this page shows that you have updated topics, enter the number shown into the topic feed offset preference on the advanced tab and the icon should go away until you really have an updated topic. |

Thanks for including this option. I installed the new release today. Was still showing the 1 topic that's never there and this at least cosmetically solves that problem.

Re: Version 0.9 beta
The beta works for me fine on XP, however it does not work on linux. It loads but the BBR icon does not show up. |

Re: [FireFox] BBR Firefox Extension
I've been using the latest beta since its release: its automatic polling feature has been working inconsistently. When I load FF, I see the envelope icon, but when I clear one of the followed posts, the icon disappears some of the time. I don't think this should occur, since there are other threads that I'm following.
And when I clear all of my followed posts, the icon disappears, even when these posts have since been updated. The only way at that point to get polled automatically is to shutdown and restart FF. |

I don't think this should occur, since there are other threads that I'm following. Clicking on an icon clears out all notifications for that component (im or topic) until the next update. It does this to avoid having the icon active when there are no updates (like if you only had one updated topic). I could probably have it temporarily shorten the polling interval for a certain time after the icon is clicked on to catch multiple updates.

Next time this happens, check out this XML feed. If says anything that resembles n="X Updated Topics" and the icon isn't there (assuming the update interval timer has expired), then it's my problem. Otherwise it's a server side issue. |

Re: [FireFox] BBR Firefox Extension
Hi Ryan,
I just checked out the XML feed link, and there's an updated post, but I'm not notified by the envelope icon. For good measure, I created a new profile with nothing but TextZoom (which I need for my high-res screen), and reproduced this.
I also tried logging onto both DSLR and BBR, with the same effect.
I just love this extension, and would like to get it working! |

Ryan: Installed the beta version on my Windows 98SE box. (Firefox 1.0.6)
Everything is working fine.
Thanks for all the time you've spent working on this issue.
The BBR Notifier is a valuable extension for those of us who visit BBR daily.:)

Re: Version 0.9 beta
I noticed that the toolbar icon does not show in either the toolbar itself or the customize toolbar window.
I looked in the overlay.xul file and the line
chrome//reportstatus/content/images/bbrfav.png
is missing a colon:
chrome://reportstatus/content/images/bbrfav.png

If you add it in, you'll notice that two icons will show up stacked on top of one another.
The icon stays blank until a preference is changed - hitting poll now from the context menu will make it show. |

It makes it hard to hit poll now from the context menu when you can't find see what you are supposed to be right clicking on.
A better method would be to use style sheets and attributes to hide and show the different icons (the same method used to make the icon shrink when you choose the "use small icons" options).
And if you don't want the image to show up you can just leave out the image tag. It will default to blank.
