New

• Notification previews are back! When hovering your mouse over most notifications, you will see a popup preview of what the notification is about.
• When using the "Reply" link on comments, the user you are replying to will now be tagged and notified that they were mentioned in a comment. A new option in but the Options panel and below the comments box lets you turn off auto-tagging.
• Added new story type: "Timeline changes" (type ID: 463)
• New Option under "Layout" tab to hide Lists in the left Navigation pane

Changed

• Added "Castleville" to the list of known apps.

Fixes

• Some users saw their chat list of online friends as blank if the "Show all online friends in chat list" option was enabled.
• Fixed a problem that caused some pictures posted to Mobile Uploads to be hidden without being read.
• Some stories were not staying marked as 'read' or 'muted' because of an internal bug.
• Fixed:  Error: m is undefined
• The Setup Wizard was appearing on the login page and sometimes on other web sites where Facebook was embedded in an iframe.
• Notifications pinned to the right sidebar or far right stopped working after a Facebook code change.
• Improvements to the auto-clicking of Older Posts should help make it work more consistently.
• Friends in the chat list were no longer in alphabetical order
• The number of friends online in the "chat dock" was incorrect if you had the option enabled to hide mobile users.
• The floating "Reply" box was sometimes positioned far away from the post being replied to, especially on Timeline posts.
• In some cases, Social Fixer incorrectly counted the number of comments to a post, and kept showing that there were new comments

Changes for Timeline

The recent introduction of Timeline profiles for all users left many people wondering what to do about, or frustrated that Social Fixer didn't work just right with the new changes. Here are the changes (so far) I've incorporated for the Timeline release:

• A Cover Photo couldn't be selected
• Friend Tracker is no longer added to Timeline pages because it displayed incorrectly

Social Fixer 6.21 is a minor release to fix a few problems.

Changes

• The option to insert a character counter into post boxes has been default to off, since Facebook increased the limit to 63,302 characters now. It now counts up instead of down.
• Updated Firefox Add-On compatibility to 11.0a1

Fixes

• Posts were shown not in chronological order, and often in reverse order
• Fixed timestamps that no longer showed the full date and time after a Facebook code change.
• "Hovercards" that appeared when hovering over a person's name stopped hiding even with the option set
• Some users saw apps not auto-tabbing in some cases
• Filters based on story type were not being applied because Facebook removed the data to identify post types. I found a hack to identify story types in this case that appears to work, restoring post-type filtering.
• Some stories would not stay hidden or muted, or in some cases they would hide from the news feed but not from profiles, etc. I have coded a new way to uniquely identify posts which will help eliminate this problem.
