Bug fixes and site updates - 2 April 2008
By Walt on Wednesday, April 2 2008, 15:55 - Release notes - Permalink
We were worried that if we released bug fixes yesterday, no one would believe us (being April Fool's day). So we held off a day, did some more testing and felt happier getting them out today. Some of you may think we play computer games for 3 weeks and then have a mad rush of development over the last week to get work completed. If only! We've actually been busy fixing some bugs, while work continues on some big ticket items.
Today we released these changes to correct some annoying bugs and added a useful guide for those interested in Search Engines:
- Blurry thumbnails for the pop-up gallery (as well as slide show and image effects) have now been fixed
- Editor (File Manager and other panels) which sometimes hid in the top-left corner and wouldn't budge should be back to normal
- Users can now set up Google Analytics with the new tracking code - the 'ga.js' tracking code - although either will work fine
- We've finally added the new SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) guide to the moonfruit.com site. You can find it on the Guides page and it provides useful details on getting your site listed, site rankings, links and more.
That's it for the moment.

Hi Walt
Can you please explain what the " 'ga.js' tracking code " fix is all about. What is "the new tracking code". Was there a problem with Google Analytics & Moonfruit sites ???
many thanks
Justin
Hi Justin, the Google Analytics fix was more an enhancement than a bug fix. There is nothing wrong with the existing panel or code we've have just provided a further option.
Our Analytics panel was created when Google only had one code, the original 'urchin' tracking code. They recently introduced a new code, which 'they' labelled 'ga.js'. All we did was modify the panel to allow a choice. So existing users need do nothing - the older code still works fine - and new users have a choice.

Hi Walt,
Thanks for the 'blurry thumbnail' fix. Will this work for all existing thumbnails, or only for ones created from now on?
Hi,
It should fix any thumbs that went blurry since our last major release, so you won't need to reload any of your images. The issue only affected thumbnails and not the images. The settings needed changing so that when the thumbs get published they are 'smoothed'.
My pop up gallery thumbs are still blurred - http://jackschit.com/#/designwork/4...
what to do?
Hello Byronious,
Can you do us a favour and submit a query from the Support pages. This will allow us to check your version of Flash, what browser you're running and get this logged on our system.
And if you can tell us when this problem started and whether you've cleared the cache (the Temporary Internet Files) that would also be a big help.
Many thanks
Walt, thank you, will do that!
On another note- I'm finding out the Firefox is having major stability issues world wide
