Hi Frits,

We agree, there is nothing to stop companies having MatrixStore and tape/optical solutions in the their workflow.

MatrixStore can be used as a highly secure nearline or deep archive. It is down the the customer to decide what data they can afford to keep offline.

Thanks
OM.

Mac mail is a BIG Pain in my A##. Why can't apple trust users with a simple formatting toolbar right on the compose screen. Instead, I have to go to the clumbsy menu and look for something as simple as insert image, bulleted list, right, left, center justify. I think Apple sometimes need to stop "thinking different" and follow some conventions of user interface that EVERYBODY understands

Please consider an alert box / message when you are performing A / B testing or flipping small changes in a short (< week?) time frame.

I was helping several former employees with job searches at the time that these changes occured and it was very difficult to explain the value / stability of a system that appeared to be 'twitchy'

When you right or ctrl click the toolbar you off course has to choose Customize toolbar. – macriis, on May 26, 2008 11:00

Just found out that in Mail 3.0 (Leopard) you can insert the menu in Format > Lists > Insert bulleted list as a toolbar icon in Mail.
Just right click or ctrl + click on the toolbar and choose the List icon. Drag it to anywhere on the toolbar.

In the meantime Jeff, I would really recommend using Skitch to post screenshots and host images.

The combination of a rich capture client along with the simple image hosting service is amazingly natural. obviously that won't work for all of your customers, but It might help to recommend skitch to your users.

jeff, it is. couple weeks out, we'll allow image upload and hosting via amazon s3, along with better rich text editing (bold, underline, italics, etc.) we're also talking to plasq, makers of skitch the image screenshotting tool, about a tighter integration with them, though that's further out.

Using Satisfaction within the context of a software development company, attachments or images is going to be a crucial feature that we'll require to stay with Satisfaction long term. We need users to be able to send screenshots of what has gone wrong, or attach a piece of configuration, etc, to help solve the issue. Needing to do that kind of thing out-of-band via email will be annoying for us and then. We'll be able to scoot along without this, but is it in the works?

That is a good idea, Steven. As a matter of fact, I think we are currently rotating it in the ad slot at the top of the home page. I'll see if we can make it more persistent.

Steven replied on February 29, 2008 19:57 to the question "New look & feel?" in LinkedIn:

Thanks for this info - I'll surely will take a deep(er) look!

Why not post a link to the blog on the homepage of users for whom the changes are effective? I'm pretty sure I won't be the only one with the question I asked...

steveganz replied on February 29, 2008 17:03 to the question "New look & feel?" in LinkedIn:

This is final. We launched a beta version of the new homepage back in December and incrementally rolled it out to users over the next two months. We made weekly adjustments to the layout and feature set based on feedback we received and learned a lot in the process about what was working and what wasn't.

For me it seemed to changed around a fair bit in the last month.. is this the 'final' format change? as in not changing for a few more months?

I only have leopard now so cant speak for tiger

Hi shanks

Your're right! This helps alot. Is this then only possible in Leopard?

shanks replied on February 10, 2008 11:16 to the question "How can you use bullet/list items in the Mac Mail client?" in Apple:

ahhh... simple.... down arrow :)

shanks replied on February 10, 2008 11:13 to the question "How can you use bullet/list items in the Mac Mail client?" in Apple:

not sure if this will help:
goto "format" tab; "lists" ; "insert bulleted list"

problem is I haven't worked out how to get rid of the bullets once the list is complete. if anyone knows would be grateful to hear the answer.

Hmm, it's certainly something I can talk to Skitch about! Maybe if STFN supported the Flickr upload API it'd be easier to code support for?

Rachel M. Murray replied on January 29, 2008 00:52 to the idea "I'd like to attach files or images to topics and replies" in Get Satisfaction:

Of course, another idea would be to build an export option - something within Skitch or Snagit that allows you to export/post to Satisfaction. That might be too wishful thinking, though.

*goes to check about possible Satisfaction APIs*

factoryjoe replied on January 26, 2008 23:35 to the idea "I'd like to attach files or images to topics and replies" in Get Satisfaction:

Or the way that Facebook detects images on the end of a URL when posting a link... I do think that would be pretty useful for 1) loading company logos and product pics (i.e. from Amazon) 2) generally linking to images
