Hey SemiFlockUser,

There are definitely a few legacy items left over that are confusing. In short: your flock.com account can be used for posting comments on www.flock.com/blog, but our forums are permanently closed. GetSatisfaction is our #1 support location.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance!

Evan Hamilton replied on November 03, 2009 00:15 to the question "Get Rid or Media Bar permanently" in Flock:

Hey Freddi,

Flock should not start up slower if you have more accounts remembered; this is a pretty small part of the processing that is happening.

If your startup is taking a long time, I suggest the following items:

1. Make sure you're using the latest version of Flock
2. Try disabling your extensions (if you have any)...sometimes these can cause problems. If disabling them fixes it, re-enable one-by-one until you find the culprit
3. If 1 and 2 don't work, try the "Reset your Odometer" step here: http://www.flock.com/tune-up. While in there, you can also delete the flock.sqlite file, which may clear things up.

Let me know if those help!

Hey Tonicgoofy,

We're built off of the same basic code as Firefox, so generally we leave system-specific things to the Mozilla team. So essentially: once Firefox does, we won't be far behind!

Hey SJ,

Great idea! No plans for this right now, but if enough people click that "I like this idea!" button... :)

We're definitely interested in adding some further options in terms of URL shorteners, but it's not very high on the very long to-do list. Eventually though!

Hey Jeff,

Sorry for the delayed response, somehow your post slipped through the cracks.

Perhaps you have Flock set to always load your windows and tabs from last time? the place to check on this preference is:

Mac: Flock>Preferences>Main
Windows: Tools>Options>Main
Linux: File>Preferences>Main

Is Flock set to "When Flock starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time"?

Laurent: We're definitely listening, but we have a lot of project on our plate right now. If people keep clicking the "I Like This Idea!" button, integrating Virb will certainly move up the priority list!

Evan Hamilton replied on November 02, 2009 23:34 to the idea "Status Updates in sidebar" in Flock:

Hey meh209,

Keeping the sidebar from stalling is definitely something we need to do - we've made strides in this direction, but there is more to do.

In the meantime, usually closing the sidebar and reopening it helps to get it moving again. If that doesn't work for you, try:

1. Logging out of the service
2. Opening the Accounts&Services sidebar
3. "Forgetting" the service
4. Restarting Flock
5. Logging back in

Certainly not convenient, but it should work until we can crush this bug once and for all!

Hey Jerome,

Update shortcut URL: Can you explain what you're trying to do here? I don't think I follow.

Alphabetical favorites import: I can understand how it's a bummer to have your favorites re-ordered. We'll definitely try to add smarter favorites import in the future.

Drag'n'drop Favorites: You should be able to drag and drop a favorite from anywhere to anywhere you'd like. Where are you finding this limitation?

Great idea! Who else is interested in this? The more people that click the "I like this idea!" button, the more likely that we'll find time in our schedule for it.

Hey folks,

Just to let you know, the community team here at Flock is continuing to push for getting these fixes into a new build. These bugs will not be fixed in Flock 2.5.5 because of limited development resources, unfortunately. But please keep posting here (and hitting the "I have this problem, too!" button) so that the folks upstairs can understand that this is an important issue to you.

Thanks for hanging in there,
