Hey there fellow Aussie!

I just tried 1280x 800 on my macbook air, seems fine on the newsfeed page but on the timeslines/ profile pages it seems a little messed up... Is that what you're talking about?

Only thing I can see thats messed up on the timeline is the status bar thing up the top of the page where you upload photos/videos and update your status/life events.

Here is a screenie to explain what is messed up on mine. Its in full rez so what you see is how it looks exactly on my screen

Anarkii, You're using an older version which is broken to death, please get the new version from http://thinqtek.com/newgenbook/ & by simply clicking the desktop -> Google Chrome

Remember to uninstall any previous version of Newgenbook & if the one you downloaded gives you an error simply open the extensions page and drag the crx file into chromes window... You should notice the difference almost instantly!

HI DEV HERE.

So just started using this again and I love the changes except now my profile isn't centered, not sure if it's supposed to be off to the left or if it's a bug?

Yeah, sorry about that. Facebook's code is sort of wonky since they clearly designed it for a fixed width and not a dynamic width that we're sort of forcing here. I sort of threw in a percentage padding on that just so it'd be pushed a bit to the right instead of all the way on the left for now, as a temporary fix.

I've noted this bug and am working on a fix.

Ooh yeah, that's an oooold version. I've had to fight against Facebook's code changes a lot since then. :p

Love the new animation on the notifications, I think it's more gimmicky than useful but it's a nice addition! And the alignment issue of my profile is fixed now so thanks :)

EDIT: Just noticed the shadow on the sidebar, looks awesome!

    • I never knew Windows had a "hidden" collection of tools

      By jordanspringer · Posted

      I cannot believe this is a news post from Neowin. This should be embarassing, coming from a "senior editor". Is it your first day using Windows?! Maybe it's time to find a new Windows news site.
    • Module Blocked - Is this Okay?

      By SuperDuckGuy · Posted

      It's from having Core Isolation enabled in Windows security settings, which is a good thing!  It's letting you know it's not loading the Bonjour module as it's not signed in a way it would prefer. Bonjour was most likely installed along with iTunes. Feel free to disable that message using the checkbox.

      I'm looking forward to starting over online. I have no reason to keep all the money, cars, rank after 13 years. Now if I can just move my character itself and nothing else. I would be fine with that. But I doubt they would do a setup that way.
