I am unable to find a way to edit a group description. I am pretty sure it used to be possible via an "edit" tab above the group when logged in, but I can't see that tab anymore on groups that I manage.

I tried to use the Mozilla Store banners from the Affiliates Homepage but none of them worked, all redirect a person who clicks to the Firefox Download page.
These are the links which are used and fail to send a visitor to the Mozilla store:

Dear SpreadFirefox member,

As you probably know, some spreadfirefox groups have been getting a lot of duplicate (or more!) postings. We have tracked down the issue and determined that this is happening in groups that have large number of people requesting email notifications. It has been a difficult problem but we have identified the issue and are working on a fix.

Greetings. I'm not sure this is the place to but I found no more suitable.
Whenever I post a message, I get two, even three posts of the same. That happens to other people here in SFX AFAIHS. Quite annoying. Please help!
God bless you.

following the instructions for Netscape 9 migration I copied the files across. The bookmarks made it, but it seems I cannot add new ones either to Firefox or Netscape 9

On the log-in information (ID and passwords) I cannot figure out how to move those across

I was hoping to act as a Firefox advocate, but i need to resolve these difficulties first

I noticed that all of the banners advertised on the new site link to to SpreadFirefox. I would expect the common Firefox banner to link to downloading Firefox, rather than the SpreadFirefox community.

Just wanted to verify that the banners are in fact linked to the intended page.

Haven't been here in a while, swung by to get the proper affiliate link. Noticed the redone site... looks nice, although a lot harder to use. Anyhow, current issue is that the new affiliate links don't work. For example, when I go here:

http://newsfx.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates/homepage

The link given in the example button code is like this:

There are so many groups now, that the overview is lost.

I think we should list the groups by number of subscribers, so that the most popular ones appear on top, instead of hidden somewhere in pile.

When entering a search term in the Search bar on the right-panel of the SpreadFirefox homepage, hitting search just sends me to the main search page. No search results appear, and I have to re-enter the search term to perform this search.

Just a minor bug.

Why are there pro-MS "feed items" being posted? (and what are these really for anyway? Who needs them? You can't comment on them.)

For example:
"Samsung I600: The Pocket Internet Explorer"
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/614
and
"IE7Pro: Supercharge Your Internet Explorer"
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/607

Is there any way to report them as spam?

I have disabled documents in the Community @ SFx forum, but people can still post documents. This must be some bug. I'd ask people to use the "Start a discussion" link rather than the "create document" link. With a document no-one can post a reply, which kind of defeats the purpose of our group.

What is the common thing between Firefox, Safari and Opera?
All of them are Windows browsers which are directly competing with one enemy, called Internet Explorer.

The shared goal of all of them is to beat IE in order to make a better web using standards.

I noticed another annoying bug, when you edit a discussion topic, that topic disappears from the group home page. I have seen it happen twice now. Once I re-created the topic to get it back.

So until this is fixed try not to edit a discussion topic but rather post a reply with your correction.

I would suggest adding a link to http://www.spreadfirefox.com/group/tracker in the drop down menu so people can more easily see what is new. I have already bookmarked that link on my browser's personal tool bar to use like that.

Front page looks like an add, which is OK, considering what our job is.

It took me several days before I figured out how I can write anything here.

Simple fix: Add buttons at the bottom of web pages where there either are stories/comments or where you could write one. Finding a "create document" link from this navigation hell and understanding that it is the only way(?) to write a comment is way too difficult.

Again, there are a lot of small errors in the html source code. E.g. on page:
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/168

there is method="GET" when in xhtml it should be in lower case method="get".

Front page is even worse. Unclosed img-tags a lot of unespaced amp-characters etc.

Hey,

I've been a member of SFX1 for a while, and now that you switched to version 2 I can't understand ANYTHING on this site.

First, is everything on the site other than the users deleted? I can't find any article from the old site including my "3 Browsers, one enemy" article.

Second, I can't find the useful "Track" function from SFX1.

I think it would be practical to list groups by number of subscribers. And make this the default.
Since the most important ones should be at the top. Optionally one should be able to view alphabetically or by manager.

A question I wanted to ask was if it is possible to setup a group with more than 1 manager? It seems to me that it is not, but I think that it would be quite practical when groups grow.

Edit: Found the option "create manager" today when viewing subscribers as a list. Assuming that would add a manager and not replace the current manager.

Hey,
I apologize if I am not supposed to create a new document for this, but that issue of posting content actually relates to one of my bugs.

Overall, great work everybody! It's great to finally see this site so close to being ready for the world to use. Here are a few quick things I noticed while looking around on the site:
