We have discovered that Internet Explorer is having trouble with our chaining of commands. To optimize for speed and efficiency, we combined several commands in our scripting. Think of this as asking your friend to run to the store to pick up ‘milk, eggs and bread’ all in one trip. That’s ‘chaining’.

What we have discovered is that Internet Explorer seems to have a problem getting all the items in a single trip, and would rather that we only ask for one thing at a time: ‘go to the store, get milk, come back, repeat for eggs…’

We’re pretty sure this is the reason many of you are experiencing Ajax errors, and ‘errors on submit’.

This discovery has pointed us in a direction that we think will result in a more robust update and better performance for most of you.

It is hard to say when we think we’ll fully solve for the issue, but we are working on this over the weekend and into the first of the next week and would very much like to have this resolved by March 1. I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you all for your comments and feedback. We are not always quick to get back to you (or at all for that matter), but we do read the comments and emails and we are working on your suggestions and requests.

Thank you for your support.

Please upgrade immediately to this latest version; this will solve a lot of issues for you as your readers try to upload their entries onto your site Directory.

We did additional testing specifically for Internet Explorer 7 and fixed the following bugs:

• The Search function on the Directory page was exhibiting unstable behavior. We believe that we found and eradicated this problem. Let us know if you still have trouble searching the Directory.
• The Join Form was not submitting properly, this has been fixed.

I am probably speaking to the choir here, but we like to recommend FireFox for the best experience.

>>>By the way; if you have version 0.6 installed, this update notice will appear in your plugins directory.

This new version has the following updates and fixes:

• ‘Rookie Mistake‘ Fixed: We updated the file structure so that when the plugin is installed for the first time it does not require a folder rename. This fix will simplify the installation and updating process. See how to upgrade to v0.6 Beta.
• Admin Manager Updated: We have added a ‘Company Website’ column to the manager so that you can quickly view the sites that have been submitted to your directory.
• Change in Label Terminology: We have altered the Join Form to use the word ‘Organization’ instead of ‘Company’. We feel this terminology will appeal to a larger audience. In the future we hope to add the ability for you to specify your own field labels on the Join Form.
• Small Join Form Bug Fix: We found that the Join Form didn’t properly save the Country field upon submission. We have fixed this bug.
