Fixed the spelling of "Excercise"

Fixed the spelling of "Excercise" in the initial sample activity. Hooked on phonics worked for me! Still need to update it in all the screen shots. Oh my... that's a lot of screen shots.

Improvements to the Close Account Tab

No one will EVER delete their account of course, but the deletion of account data now occurs in the background since it can be a lot of data and it can be slow. Also added some graphics to the close account tab.

Changes to charitable contributions

Public Radio International is out, Child's Play Charity is in. PRI is a very worthy organization but one of our own has a close tie to Child's Play... so there it is.

Fixed too aggressively "freezing" the activities for a day

Until you actually bubble in some time for a day, the activities of that day are fluid. This means that if you make changes to the activities you are tracking such as adding, removing, renaming or setting a goal, then all the days in the future that are still fluid will pick up those changes automatically. BubbleTimer was too aggressive and froze days that were just looked at even if no bubble was marked. This caused confusion with some customers that BubbleTimer didn't push changes in activities to future days.

Fixed some bugs around activity deletion

There were a few bugs around deleting activities. These impacted the ability to scroll back and see the deleted activity on previous days and caused a problem if you tried to delete every activity.

Beta period is over

Every existing user's 14 day trial was reset to start today. Payment processing is in place to handle account payments.

Feedback link

Added the Get Satisfaction feedback widget as a quick way for customers to capture ideas for improvements to BubbleTimer.

Time format preference label

Added a sample of what 12 and 24 hour time are.

Removed unnecessary image caching on some pages

Pages other than the main application screen should be ever so slightly faster.

IE 8 Beta 2 compatibility

Changed how resources are packaged so BubbleTimer works with IE 8 in normal mode. Thank you for finding this Slava.

Browser upgrade notification improvements

If your browser is too old to use BubbleTimer there is a notification page, this page now tells you what browser BubbleTimer thinks you are using and has a quick link to contact me and tell me if it's wrong.
