It looks like it just happens when you click on the first name in a given city (e.g. City 1 has 4 names, clicking any but the first is fine, but clicking the first will make the city disappear along with the name [it disappears once you add it])

Bizarre. Are you on a Mac? I'm on a PC. (I'm wondering if the font used on the 2 platforms is slightly different in width.)

Otherwise, I have the latest version of Air on my end. Windows Vista SP1.

Thoughts?

Display bug in the Link bar. (Underline length calculation)

The underline is the wrong length for long words
Steps to re-create:
1. Add a Link Bar
2. Links: "Entertainment,News"
3. Change text size to 10

The underline on Entertainment runs long and the one on News is short.

I had a realization as I used BatchBook (the web app side): that emails are associated to a contact _by location_.

A quick check of the location portion of the API (http://developer.batchblue.com/locati...) suggests that you add emails that route.

It looks like this feature exists, but again, a little documentation for the new users would help.

API Request: Allow for associating a todo with a contact

Current creating a todo via the API is good to have. But it would be much nicer if you could associate that todo with a contact.

I'm doing some integration with website forms and allowing the website to create a contact and then assign a todo to someone - that is associated with the contact who was created would be ideal.

API Request: Allow for adding email to a new user

I'd like to be able to add email via the API. Adding a new contact is not as useful if I can't add their email. I can put their email in the notes, but in future correspondence (using the BatchBox email as a CC), the system creates a new user with the email - rather than associating it with the original u

Hopefully it helps you guys or some future surfer. It really was the quick-and-dirty solution to my own problem.

Cheers.

I made my own. After thinking that the difficulty for you was likely that you didn't currently have the overarching search that you wanted (that, and you didn't think there would be a great demand for this feature), I realized that Google did a pretty good job already. So I quickly cobbled together this simple Google Site Search for GetSatisfaction. Voila!

I'll tag in further: Sherweb continues to work well. Additionally, I just had my first encounter with customer support and they were quick and helpful. Problem solved with 1 email within 20 minutes. They were knowledge-able (way above average customer service knowledge).

I'd love to rave about how many millions of more users use opensearch, but I think it's a "power user" thing only. The upside is that both FF & IE7 do understand it and have UI tips to make it discoverable.

I find that open search combined with FF keywords make it incredibly powerful. Very ubiquity-like.

For example, I have self-configured a Flickr search that show me results in thumbnails and only creative-commons licensed content.
Typing into the FF address bar: "fl thor mueller" sends me to: http://flickr.com/search/?q=thor+muel... - with 1 cc flickr result.

Hadn't thought about it, but you are right: global search would be the right thing here. But even having both (2 open searches) or either (just 1 opensearch) would be helpful.

Note: that flickr opensearch I just customized myself. It is easy to do (I'm hoping getsatisfaction is a bit more responsive to customer input). The hardest/most annoying part is uploading the opensearch XML file to a webserver and then "installing" from there (since FF only accepts opensearch over http, not local access).

OpenSearch for getsatisfaction.com - integrate with browser search.

Why doesn't GetSatisfaction.com have an opensearch link/rel so that browsers recognize it as a search option?

Thanks for that link. I've been running with sherweb (http://sherweb.com/) for about a month now. Seems to work great. They charge $8.95, but they allow 3GB of storage (vs. 1GB from 1and1) and their spam system is a Barracuda (the best out there - and allows for my personal configuration of it - whitelisting people, etc.).

So far - it's fantastic.
