Jul 30, 2009 10:25pm ominus User	hello gabedibble. congratulations for your script,its one of the best. Unfortunately there is a problem with Firefox 3.0.12. the Google logo sits in the middle of the search bar,but in FF 3.5.1,its above the search bar as it should be. Look the screenshots i post,to understand what i mean.They are from clean Firefox profiles without any extension interfering. Firefox 3.0.12 http://xs941.xs.to/xs941/09315/snap212504.png Firefox 3.5.1 http://xs941.xs.to/xs941/09315/snap211979.png I would be grateful if u could discover what causes this bug and if its fixable. But in any case,thank you for this wonderful script.

So thank you for letting me know so quickly, I do appreciate it! I have run into version differences before and corrected them with some clever CSS, so I'm actually confident that I can do something about this. I'll try to get a fix for you asap, and thank you btw for the kind words. Best regards, GD

Aug 1, 2009 8:52am gabedibble Script's Author	ominus, Good news buddy I got the logo issue resolved in all versions of FF as I had hoped (2.x, 3.0.x, 3.5.x hdd & portable; plus verified Chrome & Opera to be thorough) Feel free to drop a note if you notice anything else ThanxAgain!!

Aug 1, 2009 8:23pm ominus User	hey man,thank you very much with your quick repsonse and fix. but there is a small problem. your script now works flawlessly in FF 3.0.12 for the www.google.com domain,but the problem reappears for the www.google.gr domain. i did some more tests and i discovered that the google logo appears correctly at least for the www.google.co.uk and www.google.fr domains but it is not working for the www.google.gr,www.google.ge and www.google.pl domains. if you can have a look at this and see what causes it.for now i will use the www.google.com instead of www.google.gr untill you discover the problem. ;) anyway,thanks again for your excellent script and your quick fix. cheers.

Aug 2, 2009 5:52am gabedibble Script's Author	oh that's so funny when doing the international support a little while back, i noticed that different localities have slightly different and unique code or elements. i tested a few when i did your logo fix (as i noticed your local domain in the screen shots (which help a lot)), but clearly not enough testing. that's ok though, i'll take a look at a few more Intl TLDs and work it out shortly ;) definitely good to know, so thank you again for the heads up

Aug 8, 2009 2:54pm gabedibble Script's Author	ominus, I think Google may have rolled-out their homepage updates across the board now, because I can't seem to reproduce this anymore. I tried testing this again in 3.0.12 and the newer 3.0.13 (and of course 3.5.2) with all the G-domains you listed plus a few more I could think of. I think it's fixed now, but if you still have a problem then please let me know. [I do hope the problem has resolved itself for you.]

Aug 13, 2009 7:41pm ominus User	hello again. yes the problem has been fixed,all google pages,usa and international ones,are working perfectly. thank you very much for creating and updating this wonderful script.thanx.

Aug 18, 2009 4:45pm ominus User	well it seems that our celebration didnt last very much.the problem appeared again since yesterday,and its even worse than the first time.this time the google logo appears twice in the middle of the search bar in the www.google.gr domain (And in others domains too).the www.google.com domain works perfectly. here are the screenshots,taken from a clean ff 3.0.12 profile without extensions or other scripts: www.google.gr: http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6681/snap226.png www.google.com: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6893/snap225.png if i am not mistaken you updated your script yesterday.maybe something broke then? anyway thats my bug report for today ;)

Aug 18, 2009 4:56pm gabedibble Script's Author	I don't think anything necessarily was broken, it's just that Google has a lot of development teams, each working on their specific locality, and of course there are a lot of international domains and services working on each (which each sometimes needs customizations for their specific needs.) That's the fun of this task---tackling the giant (which I do so fearlessly.) There's always something changing here and there (as is the nature of the Internet), so having helpful people like you to inform me is absolutely appreciated so I can make the most of this effort and make as many people happy as possible. I am working on an update to address a few things, and I will certainly test the gamete of international sites to make sure this is fixed for you as soon as possible!

Aug 18, 2009 9:34pm gabedibble Script's Author	Ok, once again [I believe] I've fixed the International g.Logo problem [for now ~ haha] I tested all the international TDLs listed in this thread, plus a bunch more. I tested them all in FF 3.5.2, 3.0.0.13 and 2.0.0.20 and to be thorough Chrome & Opera I seem to have resolved the latest homepage-LOGO changes, but if anything else slides-out-of-place, just let me know my-friend btw: thanks again for all your help

Aug 19, 2009 10:38am ominus User	Yeah it works now perfectly.thanks again for providing such a great support in this excellent script. cheers.

Aug 19, 2009 10:16pm gabedibble Script's Author	i'm happy to hear that it's working for you again!!
