Working Around the Clock (and IE6)

Mar. 3, 2007

The two items which held up the Beta 4 Public Preview last Wednesday were the Anti-phishing Welcome Message and some visualization bugs with Internet Explorer. Just a quick update: the first has been solved, and the later is at a good point.

One interesting bug we’ve come across in Internet Explorer 6 is when rolling over a link – it highlights as usual (the hover state) but the link “stays on” even after you’ve moved the cursor off.

Developers: Let us know if you’ve ever heard of this IE6 CSS bug, have encountered it, or (fingers crossed) have solved it.

We’ve had to make some decisions, and Internet Explorer 6 users will have a mildly different version of the password list, with no rollover highlights. If we can find a solution for this bug, sure, we’ll happily implement it, but if not, we consider it a reasonable compromise. With Internet Explorer 7, Passpack works just fine.

Since Yesterday, PayPal is not sending us confirmation notification of the payments. So the system is unable to update the status of the accounts. We could do this manually, but when PayPal will solve the issue, it will probably send all the notifications and this could create worse issues. So, we are waiting for a while. If nothing happens, we will fix the updates manually.

UPDATE, Jan. 29. The strategy worked because PayPal sent all the notification at one moment, and all the accounts have been upgraded correctly.

We completed the performance improvement of Passpack moving the static files on a new server. This improves also the general security because it is now much harder for an attacker to try to inject Javascript code.

Passpack has discontinued Google Gears support. It was used with slow browsers like Internet Explorer 6 or 7. If you use one of these browsers, probably your account will become really slow without Google Gears. We strongly suggest to upgrade to IE 9 or to a totally different browser like Chrome.

To improve the performance, we moved the static files to Nginx that is much faster then Apache. Unfortunately, we discovered that some users can not access non-standard ports, so we have reversed to the previous configuration.
