    Pro Blog 2.0 update was released yesterday and will be showing up in the members area to download TODAY - at least that's what they just told me. I'd be interested to see what updates and fixes have been made and if they took any advice from Kevin's review..

    Ninja - No problem. Happy to help (when I have time haha) :)

    Steve - I just downloaded the theme zip from the members area. The last modified date for all files is 16th and 17th of February so I assume that is the updated file. I can't simply upload over the design due to the number of changes I had to make to the theme so I'm going to try it out in my test forums and see what's been changed.

    Fingers crossed they have addressed the biggest issues.

    Uploaded the update to my test area and then checked the design on Internet Explorer.

    Here's what I saw:

    Do they even test their themes before they release them?

    The problem that ninjalove noticed with relatedpost thumbnails is still all messed up too.

    The social media links on the home page are still not working either.

    I'm not going to waste any more of my time testing the theme. At this point, I would rather get a refund than wasting any more of my time trying to fix their mistakes. Very disappointed.

    That's just terrible. My only hope is this Kevin - the release that you uploaded is not the final one. I know I'm clutching at straws here in vain. Does it display Prob Blog 2.0 in the admin CP ? I hope that they actually fix some of the issues as aesthetically it's one of the best themes I have seen.

    Not in the admin area but it does say it in the stylesheet:

    Code:
    /*
    Theme Name: ProBlog [SinglePro Version]
    Version: 2.0
    Author: Magazine3
    Author URI: http://magazine3.com
    Theme URI: http://magazine3.com
    Description: Latest Pro Blog Wordpress Theme by Magazine3
    */

    That's a real bummer. I don't know why they would re-release junk. I'd also be curious to see the changelog of what was updated, other than the version from 1.0 to 2.0 :confused:
  7. Kevin Muldoon WordPress Fanatic!

    I know. I can't understand either. You at the very least test their themes before they release them. I don't know if they are aware of how much inconvenience this causes their customers when they release designs which are full of errors.

    Great, maybe I'll just keep the current version. I dont want to have to go through days of support again. Sucks, because I love the look, and haven't seen any others similar to it.
  9. Kevin Muldoon WordPress Fanatic!

    I just emailed them about the issue. Apparently they are going through a problem with staff/hiring.

    Magic 8 Ball says outcome does not look good.

    I'm going to look for another design for WP Mods. :)

    I don't understand why they would even release a v2.0 if they couldn't release it without a stupid amount of bugs. Seems like a lot of extra work for their limited staff. Also, a prob with staff/hiring? Last time I checked there were millions of people out there looking for work, I can only imagine a few designers are amongst them. ;)
  11. Kevin Muldoon WordPress Fanatic!

    I'm not sure what their setup is. Perhaps they paid for a good designer for a design and then have someone else crop it. If they are outsourcing all the work rather than working with people directly then a lot of problems would arise if the developer just left as no one could answer any questions or address any bugs.
  12. Steve Brassington New Member

    I think that it is just pretty much one guy running the show, maybe 2. I don't think there are multiple layers of staff, at least that's the impression I get. When I went to the site today I was chatting with Matt, who also happens to be the CEO and is the only person I ever see around, so maybe Kevin's outsourcing/hiring a designer thought is accurate.
  13. Kevin Muldoon WordPress Fanatic!

    Yes. I think you could be right. It's a 1 or 2 man operation and they're overwhelmed because they've lost some staff etc.

    Apparently the issue I experienced with IE was due to a compatibility issue.

    I was just going to respond and ask if you were in compatibility mode, since that's what was causing similar problems with my setup.

    I'm still trying to figure out if its worth updating, if there arent significant changes.

    As for the staff, I've only had to deal with 2 people personally. Sounds like Matt runs the show, and a guy name Steve has been dealing with my tickets.
  16. Kevin Muldoon WordPress Fanatic!

    Yes Matt advised me via email that compatibility mode was causing the problems. Do all IE users have this problem?
  17. Ninjalove New Member

    I sure hope not... in my case, I guessing I hit 'Compatibility View' on accident when I was refreshing my site. I wonder if there's a script to force IE out of Compatibilty View when viewing the site.
  18. Kevin Muldoon WordPress Fanatic!

    I'm not sure. Perhaps Matt can shed some light on this.
  19. Ninjalove New Member

    One of the many questions I've asked, and havent had answered. I'll report back if I hear of anything. :)

    Matt registered tonight and has been viewing the forum for the last few hours. I'm surprised he hasn't left a comment as yet.
