Mozilla Store links not working

ottodv — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 12:48:00 -0700

I tried to use the Mozilla Store banners from the Affiliates Homepage but none of them worked, all redirect a person who clicks to the Firefox Download page.

These are the links which are used and fail to send a visitor to the Mozilla store:

Spreadfirefox.com update: Temporarily turning off email notifications

alixf — Thu, 15 May 2008 13:37:59 -0700

Dear SpreadFirefox member,

As you probably know, some spreadfirefox groups have been getting a lot of duplicate (or more!) postings. We have tracked down the issue and determined that this is happening in groups that have large number of people requesting email notifications. It has been a difficult problem but we have identified the issue and are working on a fix.

Help! Messages keep repeating all the time...

Greetings. I'm not sure this is the place to but I found no more suitable.
Whenever I post a message, I get two, even three posts of the same. That happens to other people here in SFX AFAIHS. Quite annoying. Please help!
God bless you.

bookmark manager

spirit222 — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 07:29:51 -0800

following the instructions for Netscape 9 migration I copied the files across. The bookmarks made it, but it seems I cannot add new ones either to Firefox or Netscape 9

On the log-in information (ID and passwords) I cannot figure out how to move those across

I was hoping to act as a Firefox advocate, but i need to resolve these difficulties first

Are banners directing to correct site?

jglassenberg — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 22:27:52 -0800

I noticed that all of the banners advertised on the new site link to to SpreadFirefox. I would expect the common Firefox banner to link to downloading Firefox, rather than the SpreadFirefox community.

Just wanted to verify that the banners are in fact linked to the intended page.

Haven't been here in a while, swung by to get the proper affiliate link. Noticed the redone site... looks nice, although a lot harder to use. Anyhow, current issue is that the new affiliate links don't work. For example, when I go here:

[Bug] Search bar does not work on SpreadFirefox homepage

jglassenberg — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:25:13 -0800

When entering a search term in the Search bar on the right-panel of the SpreadFirefox homepage, hitting search just sends me to the main search page. No search results appear, and I have to re-enter the search term to perform this search.

Why are there pro-MS "feed items" being posted? (and what are these really for anyway? Who needs them? You can't comment on them.)

For example:
"Samsung I600: The Pocket Internet Explorer"

and
"IE7Pro: Supercharge Your Internet Explorer"

Disabling documents impossible

ottodv — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 04:25:42 -0800

I have disabled documents in the Community @ SFx forum, but people can still post documents. This must be some bug. I'd ask people to use the "Start a discussion" link rather than the "create document" link. With a document no-one can post a reply, which kind of defeats the purpose of our group.

3 Browsers, One Enemy

LIJI — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 05:13:11 -0800

What is the common thing between Firefox, Safari and Opera?
All of them are Windows browsers which are directly competing with one enemy, called Internet Explorer.

The shared goal of all of them is to beat IE in order to make a better web using standards.

I noticed another annoying bug, when you edit a discussion topic, that topic disappears from the group home page. I have seen it happen twice now. Once I re-created the topic to get it back.

So until this is fixed try not to edit a discussion topic but rather post a reply with your correction.

It took me several days before I figured out how I can write anything here.

Simple fix: Add buttons at the bottom of web pages where there either are stories/comments or where you could write one. Finding a "create document" link from this navigation hell and understanding that it is the only way(?) to write a comment is way too difficult.

ottodv — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 15:15:23 -0800

I think it would be practical to list groups by number of subscribers. And make this the default.
Since the most important ones should be at the top. Optionally one should be able to view alphabetically or by manager.

A question I wanted to ask was if it is possible to setup a group with more than 1 manager? It seems to me that it is not, but I think that it would be quite practical when groups grow.

Edit: Found the option "create manager" today when viewing subscribers as a list. Assuming that would add a manager and not replace the current manager.
