Just wondering if others are having issues with Net Usage Item for Comcen/Spin in Firefox.
Mine stopped working this morning on my computer, and yesterday on my son's. Not seeing any error, just a red x on the bar.

I seem to have the same problem...

No information available – A Parsing error occured (S4)

i have the same problem

comcen/spin have done something to there website they updated it or something :S

if you check your usage they have updated that part

now netusge dont work

Just have to wait till it gets updated :P

Yeah – as the Net Usage thing is just a data scraper, if the web page it scrapes changes, then the data will not be parsed correctly.

Contact the people who make the Net Usage addon and let them know – they may not even know it's broken as of yet.

this net usage idem for firefox wont be fixed for comcen/spin ..... grrrrr

what other programs are their?

Why do you say that? do you have information that suggests it won't?

I ask as I was just about too shoot off an email to the addon's author.
Which I'll still do anyway...

I've already shot off an email... friday or saturday i did that.. no reply yet.

Looks like contact has been made and information passed on.

I emailed too but have not had a reply. Hopefully the fix is in the works.
The author has a donate button on the extension's website: http://netusage.iau5.com/
Maybe if you've used this for a while and only now it's gone realize how great it is a donation may be in order?
I've used this extension for years and really do miss it when it's gone.

in your preferences, make sure the username doesnt contain the whole email address (if it is one that is) Just include the text before the '@'

That's the way I'm pretty sure everyone had it setup. I know I haven't changed it and that is how I had to make it work originally. It is still set that way now.

I think you are misunderstanding the issue, Spin/Comcen updated their website and that is what is preventing the net usage extension from working.

Now working again! See here: /forum-replies.cfm?t=803008&p=-1#bottom

good about time

How about offering a vote of thanks for ^critters who does not get paid for this – does it in his own time – and does a good job at that at it. Considering it was down for only 7 days before he posted the new version which fixed the issue – I say good job and very timely.

Yeah, what AuS said, actually how about just don't be a jerk.
First you post saying that it won't be fixed:
"this net usage idem for firefox wont be fixed for comcen/spin ..... grrrrr"
Then your next comment on the subject is: "good about time".

Am I feeding a troll here or is this poster really just a selfish jerk?

How hard is it to just say thanks to the author for their hard work, or even just not post anything.

Why act like a spoiled brat about it?

yay
