I have spoken to a few people over at the Realmac Forums and there appears to be an issue with the MobileMe Stack and Internet Explorer 7. I am still working on finding out what is causing the issue, however it is most likely theme related. As the Stack works correctly in other browsers and in IE when using an alternative theme, I hope to have a fix soon.

I believe this issue affects any Yahoo! Pipe Stack as it seems to be something discussed on the Internet before.

We’ve come across a strange bug that can crop up when using a few of our Stacks. With any stacks that require text information to be intered (such as our Flickr Stacks requiring tags) and the field is left blank, the placeholder for that bit of code appears. From what we can see, this may or may not be a bug with our Stacks.

We’re working on trying to find out what is causing the issue. If you find that the Stack is not working as you’d expect - check the Inspector HUD. Flickr users, for now you will need to enter a tag I’m afraid.

As soon as a solution is available, we will let you know.

Here’s a quick tip for anyone using QuickSnapper, but wishes the image size of the RSS feed was larger.

Using Yahoo! Pipes, I have created custom RSS feed that will provide you with a QuickSnapper RSS feed that displays the medium-size images instead of the small-size ones it currrently displays.

All you need to do is use this feed address below, replacing the word QUICKSNAPPER with your QuickSnapper username. Voila! Now you have a higher resolution RSS feed. Perfect if you’re importing it into sites like Tumblr.

This is similar to how the QuickSnapper Stack works. Have fun!

With the release of Windows 7 RC and Microsoft’s decision to make Internet Explorer 8 an automatic upgrade on previous versions of Windows, I thought I’d discuss our favourite browser, Internet Explorer 6.

There are a number of sites that web designers that are now dropping support for Internet Explorer 6. At the end of the day, it’s an old browser (over 8 years) and is unable to cope with the demands of modern website production.

As a result, I have taken a decision regarding 2bitoperation’s stand on Internet Explorer 6 that relates to any RapidWeaver theme we release.

Both QuickSnapper and MobileMe stacks have been updated.

MobileMe Stack
Stack has been completely overhauled and now features the same style slideshow as the QuickSnapper stack. It now also features high-resolution images so you can create even larger stacks to show off your photos.

QuickSnapper Stack and Snippet
Stack and Snippet have been updated with the ability to control the height of the generated slideshow. This is necessary to allow large slideshows to be created.
The Stack/Snippet’s backend has also been updated so that it now loads the QuickSnapper medium image instead of the original high-resolution one. This dramatically decreases the slideshow’s load time and makes it much quicker to cache the images.

You can download the latest versions from their respective Stacks page. Please make sure to remove the old stack before updating.
