• Smart popup resizing system: We've implemented a system that dynamically calculates optimal size (width and height) of the popup windows, so the scrollers (specially horizontal scroller) don't need to appear unless it is really necessary. You can see dynamic pop-ups in action in the total summary row (2nd row in the header - the gray one) on the links such as “Hourly”, “History” ,“Cheat”, “Country”, “Links”, “Referrers” and so on.
  
  
• Smart expand/collapse system: Inside pop-ups such as “Edit trade” window, there are different sections (accordions). By default some sections are opened (basic, advanced, forces) and others are closed (exclude trade, niches, toplist images, toplist descriptions and so on). From now on your browser (cookies) will remember which sections you opend/closed the last time and it will keep them opened / closed for you the next time you open the same popup. We find it quite handy. This system has been implemented into several different pop-up windows such as: Edit trade, new trade, edit system trade, edit seller, edit buyer, mass edit, export trade, customize interface. Storing expand/collapse data for each pop-up is independent.

• Detailed stats and customize: Detailed stats page now gets reloaded in the background when you save changes in the customize popup.
  
  
• Direct ICQ msg: If you hold mouse over the “domain name” in the overview menu, domain info box will show up. From there you can click on the ICQ / nickname to send an instant ICQ msg. If desired you can also enable ICQ column in the overview menu / customize interface window and you will be able to send ICQ msgs to your trade partners by clicking on the “Msg” in the ICQ column.
  
  
• Direct e-mail: If you hold mouse over the “domain name” in the overview menu, domain info box will show up. From there you can click on the “e-mail” link to send an e-mail directly from TE3. If desired you can also enable e-mail column in the overview menu / customize interface window.
  
  
• Time zone selection: You can select time zone by clicking on the “date / time” link on the right side of the header. It used to open as a small popup in the center of the screen. It now opens as a drop down in a windows style.

• Header hover: We've added hover on all sortable headers, so it is easier to spot them. If you would like to it, try to hold mouse over column headers in the overview menu.

• Opera and IE9 cookies: Storing cookies for main overview table and in the edit window (expand/collapse) didn't work properly.
  
  
• Cheat logs block time issue: If you wanted to add IPs from the cheat logs to the block list permanently (value: -1) it didn't work properly. Additional checks have been added for the “blocked time” parameter.
  
  
• Deleting old interfaces: If you rename an existing interface, it now properly deletes the old template.
  
  
• Preselected niches for new trade defaults / add trade / bulk add: It didn't select preselected niches properly. It does now.
  
  
• Customize interface checkboxes: It didn't always mass select/deselect groups in the customize interface popup properly. Now it does.
  
  
• Popup dragging: In some browsers you couldn't drag popup windows if you tried to drag them on the popup title. It works now.
  
  
• Popup dragging cursor: Sometimes “move” cursor didn't change back to normal state after you stopped dragging the popup. It changes back properly now.
