=== MH Toolbar ===
 
''{{date|18|July|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>Hello fellow MouseHunters,</p>
 
<p>As some of you may or may not know, the toolbar has been made available for download and is circulating through the boards. We will be doing an official release of the toolbar very shortly with a supported link available through the MouseHunt HUD with its own page containing detailed installation instructions and further information about it.</p>
 
<p>For those who currently have it installed, here are some "ReadMe's" regarding the MouseHunt Toolbar:</p>
 
==== Supported Browsers: ====
 
<p>Currently the MouseHunt Toolbar is only supported on stable versions of:
 
*Internet Explorer 7+
 
*FireFox 2+
 
*Safari 5 on Mac</p>
 
<p>Unfortunately the Conduit company, which is the platform/foundation of the MH toolbar, currently does not support the Chrome browser. However, it is a browser they are looking into supporting in the near future.</p>
 
==== Technical Issues: ====
 
<p>If you are experiencing any technical issues (ie: stats not loading, broken images, not receiving SP)</p>
 
<p>You can try performing the following to solve these issues:</p>
 
<p>1.) Clear your cache
 
*[http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/clearcache.mspx Internet Explorer Instructions]
 
*[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear+Recent+History#Clearing_your_history Fire Fox Instructions]
 
*[http://support.verio.com/documents/view_article.cfm?doc_id=4069 Safari Instructions]</p>
 
<p>2.) Refresh your toolbar</p>
 
<p>Instructions: looking at the toolbar from the left hand side you'll see the MouseHunt logo. Next to the MouseHunt logo there is small down shaped arrow. Click on the small down shaped arrow and a drop down box/window will appear. From there, click on "Refresh Toolbar".</p>
 
  
==== 10 SuperBrie+ reward for installation: ====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
<p>Once you install the toolbar, you need to log in from the toolbar and do at least one hunt with it to register that you are indeed using the toolbar and have completed the installation of it. This "should" take approximately 30 minutes max but it has been taking longer to sync up with some users. If you have not received the bonus within 48 hours you may contact support.</p>
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
<p>*** There will be a journal entry added to your journal once the SuperBrie+ is awarded to you through the toolbar. ***</p>
 
<p>Bugs:
 
We are currently looking into all reported bugs from the MH boards. In addition, we are looking into a better solution for users receiving their 10 SuperBrie+ reward in a shorter time span.</p>
 
<p>Other notes:
 
- You currently do not get SB+ from doing searches.
 
- You can only get the 10 SB+ reward once. If you uninstall it and re-install it again you will not be rewarded again.</p>

=== Cherry Mouse in the Calm Clearing ===
 
''{{date|15|July|2010}}''
 
<blockquote>
 
<p>To celebrate our partnership with Cherry Credits and the launch of MouseHunt Cherry Credit Cards in South-East Asia, a new Cherry Mouse has been added to the Calm Clearing in Whisker Woods!</p>
 
<p>The Cherry Mouse is attracted to the sweet smell of Cherry Cheese, which can be made by potions collected in the Calm Clearing. Cherry Cheese will not only attract the Cherry Mouse but also attract some of the stronger, more valuable mice in the clearing. Make sure your trap is up for the challenge!</p>
 
<p>We have also optimized the new hunt timer to fix a problem that was causing it to run quickly, making the horn to appear early. The timer should now be accurate on low-end computers as well.</p>
 
<p>Based on player feedback, we have made the live stream on the camp page only load when the tab is clicked on to view it. The stream will also "unload" when the trap setup or friends tab is clicked. This should make the camp page less strenuous on non-broadband users.</p>
 
<hr/>
 
<p>Also in this update:</p>
 
<p>- We corrected a bug preventing hunters from crafting the S.S. Huntington II if they had more than 1 Ship Blueprint in their inventory.</p>
 
<p>- The SUPER|brie+ Gift Basket now provides the Lucky Golden Shield to the opener of the basket for one month.</p>
 
<p>- Shield lengths have been added to the descriptions of SUPER|brie+ packages in the donate pop-up.</p>
 
<p>- Various typos in traps/mice have been corrected.</p>

===Next Hunt Timer and Camp Page Changes===

==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
''{{date|13|July|2010}}''
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
<blockquote>
 
<p>Hello MouseHunters! As you have most likely noticed a "next hunt" timer has been added to the heads up display. The timer is accurate to the minute, and is intended to promote healthy competition between your hunting party members by tracking who is the first to sound the horn and score the extra bonus points.</p>
 
  
<p>Some extra features have also been added to the camp page to help hunters check which members of their hunting party are online in their location, as well as allowing them to communicate with friends more easily. Seeing where all your friends are at a glance, should prove to be an easy way to decide where the best place to hunt may be. Since the look of these tabs has yet to be polished, we'll be adjusting the look and layout of the new tabs based on player feedback.</p>
+

<p>We knew the transition from MH v2 to "Longtail" would be a bit of a bumpy ride. With the help of the MouseHunt Community, we've been keeping a close eye on any small problems, trying to spot areas where Glitchpaw Mice may be causing trouble. We've managed to catch the majority of Glitchpaws, and now we need your help to capture the few that remain. We've scattered Glitchpaw Mice around the Kingdom, and they have unique drops in each area they inhabit. Occasionally, they may also require a special hunting strategy. Good luck tracking them down. They're out for a limited time only!</p>
+
----
  
<p>Finally, one more new mouse has been added to the Gnawnia region. The Spotted mouse enjoys the fresh air and sunshine of the Meadow, but its love of travel means it can occasionally be "spotted" in other areas as well.</p>

Viceroy hunters and above can now embark on a new adventure.
Study hard to advance from Apprentice to Master at the School of Sorcery!

Classes have begun at the School of Sorcery!
