BUG FIXES

We’ve fixed a number of internationalization errors for non-english settings, typically occur while attempting double-click text to edit it. Sorry everybody! :(

The Comments Box now posts comments well. For a while the Comments Box wasn’t posting anything.

Fixed the annoying “base_cfg” and pressing arrows errors when nothing was selected.

Fixed a problem with image uploading. Yay!

Added a “Report an Error” link to the top of the page. If you’ve found a glitch, please let us know so we can fix it.

THE FUTURE

Roxer is better every week and we look forward to hearing more of what you think and seeing more of what you build! We will keep on working hard for you so you can continue enjoying the easiest way to make a web page.
