i think your the ssb is confused cuz it loaded about:blank the very first time you ran it (for whatever reason.. maybe hacker news was momentarily down)... (long story, but Fluid has to know the *actual* first URL resolved/loaded on first run so it can determine the url whitelist. the one you entered... cuz what you *think* is the final url is often not the actual final url, and fluid really needs to know the real one) any how... delete the prefs file and try again... OR give it a different "Name" when you create it. it will work this time

prefs file:

/Users/<your-username>/Library/Preferences/com.fluidapp.FluidInstance.HackerNews</your-username>

Ah, that's what you by filtering levels.

Thanks so much for the help.

Yes, that answers my question. You guys are actually doing with news articles what Google has done with websites - rank by number of links. I think you have huge potential.

How does one play with filtering levels?

looks to be working just fine! Product looks stellar. Thank you for the help, and kudos for being on getstatisfaction.com and being so responsive.

One thing that I have wondered about is how will I know whether articles that are more commented on will be more interesting to me? Do you notice any other users ask that question or is it just assumed that if many people comment/Digg an article that I will like it? Btw, this is a fair assumption to make, I was just seeing if you guys have any info beyond that, maybe some stats? Just curious.

Thanks for the quick response, Melanie.

I just downloaded the zip and unzipped, but how do I actually install/run the .xpi file? Also, I uninstalled the original FF add-on. Was that a mistake? Should I reinstall it before adding in this .xpi file?
