Leisa's suggestion is exactly what I'm looking for too. – Emily, on November 12, 2009 23:38

A comment on the question "how to record drawings?" in FreeAgent Central:

oh gawd, its a personal account. I suppose that answers it... (was sure I've asked you this before too, but couldn't find the answer on here). If that is the problem, then this will shortly be rectified as I'm posting off my biz bank acct. application this afternoon! – Emily, on October 14, 2009 14:24

I don't see this option Money paid to user > Drawings in the Banking section. I have a UK Partnership plan. I want to record my own drawings as a partner. I've gone to explain a transaction and I don't see this option under Select a Type or Categories.

I can do beta testing on this too.

Activity list is showing old set of activities

Hi, I've just come back from holiday to find that my list of activities in bubbletimer doesn't match the current set that I am working on. It looks like a configuration of activities that I was using 6 months ago.

Last date I updated Bubbletimer was 08-28-2009. When I go to it today, 09-07-2009, the list doesn't include my current activities. I find that going back to the 09-01-2009 has the right list, but from 09-02-2009 onwards the list is wrong.

I guess I'm going to have to recreate my current list manually -which is a real pain, but doable- but I thought I should report this here.

bubbles won't fill in, only set as 'planned (00:00)

My computer's date and time says Tuesday 25th August 00:35 but Bubbletimer thinks it is still monday and will only let me fill in first half hour of today's bubbles as planning (like for the future*). it also still shows the "go to today" link when I'm looking at today/tuesday.

(*Believe me, I would never plan to track time in the middle of the night, it just happens to me sometimes!!)

Just filled in some bubbles which suddenly reappear empty until refresh

This has been happening for a while but I haven't posted cos I just couldn't really explain the parameters. It always seems to happen while I'm not looking. So I'll have a go.

1. I fill in some bubbles of time.
2. I go to another tab (? maybe?) in my browser (or switch to a different app?)
3. I return to bubbletimer and those bubbles I just filled in are empty again.
4. "Huh?!"
5. I refresh the page and the checked bubbles come back complete.

Firefox version 3.5.2 (though its been happening a couple months, so probably during other minor versions)

Emily replied on July 28, 2009 09:55 to the question "Time tracking not working. Help?" in FreeAgent Central:

Firefox 3.0.12. Have just tried 'turning [the browser] off and on again' ;) and it is still not working. It works in Safari fine. I have a billion plugins installed too, so it is probably a conflict with one of those (recently updated). I'll let you know if I identify which one.

Thanks for your speedy response :)

Emily replied on July 28, 2009 09:28 to the question "Time tracking not working. Help?" in FreeAgent Central:

I'm suddenly having a problem adding timeslips in the Work > Time tracking area. I fill it in but the save button just doesn't seem to work. I can add the timeslip if I go into the Work > Projects area and click "New timeslip" there, but the main Time tracking area just isn't playing ball today.

I'm on Firefox 3.0.10 and today the links are just not working. they're getting converted into the fancy layout and the A tag is still in the source but is no longer inactive. I have had to uninstall power twitter.

@rrchapman - i think you are being a little harsh - yes Twitter is simple, but the reason we like Power Twitter is because it adds 'bells and whistles' to the simple interface, making the Twitter experience media rich.

I might have lost the thread a bit here but that drawing of how to show when time has been allocated for (as a line crossing dots out) looks good! A lot clearer. Sometimes I don't notice if I've missed a bubbled (difference black vs grey colour not being very obvious).

Emily replied on May 28, 2009 11:01 to the question "Preferences for PowerTwitter?" in 83 Degrees:

i really don't like the new way links are displayed all on a line of their own. takes up too much space and interrupts flow. want to turn this off - preferences would help!

Ah ha, that sounds like the answer to my issue too. Like Toby, I'd suggest this explanation be included in the App somewhere around the invoice updating area. Cheers

Cripes, that sounds incredibly generous Sean, thank-you! I'm glad you got it sorted. I had only just started to use the planning bubbles else I would have noticed this sooner. I'm surprised nobody else flagged this - I guess either noone else is using them, or everyone else is actually sticking to their plans!

A comment on the question "How do *you* use Bubble Timer?" in Snooty Monkey:

Sean's forthcoming features

"auto-completion of activity names on add and joining them up with their previous instance means you can more freely delete activities that you won't be doing for a bit of time. Categories with collapse will also help you to find the activity quickly as well."

sound fantastic - I've just been dealing with the unwieldy long list too, but was worrying about deleting activities because I might not name them the same next time and then I'd have no continuity, so you've totally answered my worry. I look forward to the categorisation and all this new stuff! – Emily, on April 28, 2009 11:19

hi josh, are you using the future planning functionality by any chance? I've just noticed my reports aren't making any sense either (12:00 - 13:30 = 2h, 30m [wrong!]) but I noticed that this is because I had planned to do more of that task and filled in hours ahead of time, but I hadn't deleted those estimates when I did something else instead.

So it seems there is a bug where the reports add up the planning time allocation as well as the actual time spent. Obviously those planning times should be ignored at the reporting stage.
