Badge freezes IE6

The badge feature is causing Internet Explorer 6 to get upset and freeze. I was testing my Ning site on IE6 and furiously trying to figure out what was causing the problem, and when I removed the badge item off of the page, IE6 rendered fine without freezing or crashing.

It's not a huge issue given that IE6 is ancient and not fit to go onto Ning websites, but I just thought I'd point it out in case there's a way for either you or for us users to fix it. I'd like to keep the bade on the front page, but I don't want to crash the browser of some of my visitors (though they deserve it!)

Thanks,
Bradley.

Thanks for the response, Ian - appreciated. I didn't realise there could be so much work in adding them. Good luck! – Plonkely, on October 12, 2009 22:59

Why still no ability add subfolders?

It's been asked for a by a number of people, and each time you say you're discussing it. Apologies for sounding rude, but I don't really understand what there could be to discuss. Unless there are technical limitations with regard to adding sub-folders, why are you holding back on this feature?

If people don't want to use them, they don't have to, but I and many other do want them. I wish use PBWorks as a personal document storage and backup facility for my A levels, but there are a lot of different units within each of my subjects that need to be divided, sub-divided, etc. I can't use this service without the ability to categorise, or else I'll just end up with hundreds of pages and files under a single category of 'English' 'History' etc.

You may not think that’s the best use for a wiki or the best way for me to organise my files and notes, but that’s how it will work best for me. Why, a year after it was first asked for, can we still not create sub-folders?

Slightly unrelated, but I used to have access to this album and the songs within, but they're no longer found when I search and tracks were removed from my playlist. Is this to do with regional restrictions?

A comment on the problem "Spotify Ads - "Ring and tell us what you think!" - over and over and over again" in Spotify:

He's not complaining about ads from other companies, but he doesn't like the constant ads which tell how great a product we're already using is. I don't see why we need to hear people with annoying voices telling us why they like Spotify and using cringeworthy phrases like "De bomb". Especially when there's a cycle of about three people telling us over and over again how great Spotify is. Surely those slots could be sold for money? – Plonkely, on June 28, 2009 19:50

Plonkely replied on June 28, 2009 19:36 to the problem "Accidental click-throughs to adverts are happening" in Spotify:

This annoys me also. They often seem to pop out between the first and second click when double-clicking a song to play it. Therefore if I'm clicking a song right near the end of my playlist I often end up unintentionally clicking on the advert.

Limit actions of adverts

I've recently encountered quite an awkward advert on Spotify - an almost full-window spash which seemed to fill the entire Spotify window. This a bit annoying, so I would suggest that the actions of adverts are limited to the designated bars.

An update made to the above linked article by Henry says:
"McAfee has been made aware that some users are experiencing an issue with Spotify. A fix will be provided in today's regular signature file update. McAfee would like to apologise to any customers affected by this issue and reassure them that this is being addressed as a matter of urgency."

Hopefully soon!

At least McAfee could be bothered to say something about it.

Just had an alert about this on my desktop PC (previous was on laptop) - it's finding multiple instances of it now. Didn't occur until I loaded up task manager. Odd.

Another thread about this here: http://www.getsatisfaction.com/spotif... . Thought some of you might want to keep an eye on it in case Spotify post any updates there rather than here.

Yeah - not exactly good publicity. Just look at Twitter:
