There is a whole area devoted to Music/Movies.

You can also go to a URL like http://www.stumbleupon.com/discover/R... and subscribe to the Reggae tag, which will also help you find more sites and hopefully more music in that genre.

:)

Please port the SU toolbar to Google Chrome.

The Google Chrome web browser now supports extensions. Having the SU toolbar native to Chrome would be a good thing. Thank you.

Please fix the time displayed on reviews.

The time on my reviews page is shown as 06:15pm. That's not really a correct way to display the time. It should be 6:15pm or 18:15pm but not 06:15pm. Please fix this.

Try the latest beta of the firefox toolbar @ www.stumbleupon.com/beta/ and see if that fixes your stuck buttons while stumbling. :)

Data Access Problem

When I try to give a page a thumbs up, I am seeing this error repeatedly:

Data Access Problem
We're having difficulty generating this page right now
Please try again in a few minutes
Thanks for your patience

No clue what it means as your error messages are very unhelpful and have really horrible punctuation. :)

Improve the web based toolbar for mobile devices.

I just bought a very cool Motorola Droid on Friday, November 6th. It has a full HTML5 compliant Webkit based browser and surprise surprise, the web based StumbleUpon toolbar WORKS! However, I would like to see if you guys could improve on it a bit so that it detects mobile devices and the toolbar fits better on smaller screens. :) I like being able to Stumble from anywhere now.

geeknik asked a question in StumbleUpon on November 05, 2009 22:25:

How does StumbleUpon justify the v4.0 release as being more social?

I mean, you guys took away our friends, the similarity meters and other "matchmaking" options. StumbleUpon was WAY more social back in 2005 than it is now.

geeknik replied on November 02, 2009 19:10 to the problem "Cannot upgrade to the 3.52 firefox toolbar." in StumbleUpon:

No, that's not useful. Especially since I downloaded the .xpi file to my drive from addons.mozilla.org and it still would not install. However, the "beta" .xpi from stumbleupon.com works just fine. So it's not a local profile or firefox problem.

Automatically perform monthly maintenance on the userXXXXXX.sqlite file.

I was doing maintenance on the other .sqlite files in my Firefox profile and noticed that the userXXXXXX.sqlite file in my StumbleUpon directory was 30,317,568 bytes.

After performing a 'VACUUM' command on the sqlite database file, I dropped the size to 29,530,112 bytes.

Firefox 3.7, when it is released early next year, will automatically do this kind of maintenance on it's own files so I think that the StumbleUpon toolbar should do this kind of maintenance on it's own files as well.

Cannot upgrade to the 3.52 firefox toolbar.

I cannot install the 3.52 release of the Firefox toolbar. I keep getting an error that says:

Minefield could not install the file at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire...

because: Download error
-228

But if I go to http://www.stumbleupon.com/beta/stumb..., this version installs just fine.

su.pr click count is incorrect

Here's something interesting I felt necessary to point out. The su.pr click count is overinflated and flat out wrong. In fact, I think it is lying to us. :)

When I post something to twitter from my su.pr account, within seconds, it has 10 or 15 clicks.

When I post something from bit.ly to my twitter account, this doesn't happen.

You can't tell me this is from bots and other services scraping twitter feeds because it only happens with su.pr and not other services.

Care to explain yourself su.pr?
