What’s New And Changed In Social Fixer 8.0
Version 8.0 of Social Fixer removes two features to stay in compliance with Facebook requirements, and includes a number of other fixes and enhancements. Also, SocialFixer.com gets a new look!
Install the 8.0 update by going to SocialFixer.com**
What’s Removed
- Friend Tracker (Learn Why). As an alternative, check out http://who.deleted.me
- Hiding Sponsored Posts (Learn Why). As an alternative, check out AdBlock Plus.
What’s New
Post processing (mark as read, etc) and Filtering can each now be separately enabled or disabled on the News Feed, Groups, and Pages/Timelines. These can be found in the “Posts” and “Filtering” tabs, respectively.
A “Sort By Name” button is now inserted when viewing the Friends tab of a profile.- New option in Advanced tab: “Position the wrench icon to the left rather than the right”
More things can be hidden by hovering over them and clicking the X that appears in the upper right corner: Trending box under Composer, Similar To [Page] dropdown when you Like a news feed post, Like Page button on News Feed, Birthday Reminders
What’s Fixed
- A Chrome bug caused people to lose their wrench icon entirely. A fix is in place to make Social Fixer usable when this happens (usually after a Windows system restore) but there are limitations.
- Some posts in Groups were hidden because they were being incorrectly flagged as duplicates.
- Clicking a notification about a comment or post in a Group would not go directly to the post.
- The “Social Fixer Message” box that I used occasionally for important messages couldn’t be closed with a “Close” button.
- Prevented the “Add App” button from appearing on posts which use Facebook’s built-in apps like Status, Photos, etc.
What’s Changed
- Changed the option to “Process posts on Group Walls” to disabled by default for new installs
- Changed the default value for hiding “read” posts on timelines to FALSE
- Filtering of groups is now DISABLED by default, but can be enabled in options
