Jonathan replied on September 24, 2009 22:32 to the question "Change password link takes me to Forgot password page" in foursquare:

No it doesn't work -- because resetting your password doesn't state if it lets you choose the new password. Many sites with a "forgot password" merely set a new random password.

If it does let you change the password via a link, then this could be fixed with copy alone. But not being able to specify what password you want is completely f'ing shameful.

Oh yeah! It's a UX issue.

You could try doing a rollover state for those buttons that changes the image to 'uncheck this'

This is what I see on my ToDo list. There's no 'delete' button.

Can't delete To Do Items

I can't delete to-do items from the iphone app or website.

Items in the Top12 can be deleted or demoted.

Items in ToDo can only be marked as done.

Today it didn't register:
Rainbow Falafel
Max
Ace Bar

Yesterday, a bunch of places in williamsburg

I've been able to add tips 'shouts', but every check in just doesn't register at all.

can't check in on iphone

I can't check-in on iPhone to anything.

I click the check-in button, and then that's it. It doesn't give me an error or anything, but if I go to my history on the phone or website, I have 0 checkins.

boo.

Jonathan replied on March 19, 2009 16:42 to the problem "How do I delete my account?" in foursquare:

Heather-

Try changing your phone number to something like 1212121212 , then changing your name and the email address.

I signed up with 1234567892 -- because i didn't want to share my number either. when new sites don't have delete buttons, I just change the name and email so its orphaned. you can even use screw.foursquare@spam.la and check http://spam.la if they need a confirm link.

btw, are you the same heather champ that is friends with toby and michele ?

Jonathan asked a question in foursquare on March 13, 2009 12:39:

phone required?

This should be optional for signup - not required.

iPhones are location aware. Twitter and other new services remove the need for sms/phone that dodgeball required.

i like the idea - we have some good friends in common - but i'm really wary of giving any service my SMS number and risking a bunch of people sending me SMS through it.

22 minutes after i report this, the problem seems resloved for everyone in the office!

Jonathan reported a problem in Pivotal Labs on February 02, 2009 20:32:

Labels are inconsistent with case

Labels have a weird issue with case -- they appear as all lowercase in the 'labels' settings screen, but they can appear as both UPPERCASE and lowercase in the label menu and stories.

ie:

my stories can be assigned from the dropdown: RC1 rc1 Rc1
the labels screen shows all as : rc1

I'd love to be able to consolidate all the RC1 and Rc1 items into rc1 and just drop those case instances from the menu.

Jonathan replied on January 26, 2009 15:39 to the idea ""My Work" as the default view" in Pivotal Labs:

i'm not sure i agree with this...

but i think there should at least be a "My Work" button on the top, instead of doing the search.

Starting tasks without point values.

I'd like to be able to start tasks without giving them a value - or at least mark that as "under inspection"

For a lot of tasks, I need to start them just to figure out what the point value is.

The only way I can handle this is by assigning a point value to start the task, starting it and saying that it is "under inspection", and then adjusting the point value. I'd rather not suggest that a task ever had the initial point value, or have it affect my projected workflow until that has been correctly estimated.

this is really important to add

i have some projects that just cripple my inbox with mindless drivel that isn't relevant to me, while others necessitate updates.

Jonathan asked a question in Pivotal Labs on January 21, 2009 18:41:

Notifications should have better email header templates

right now the templates are:

Action ( Project ): Date: Title

It would be much better if it were:

"PivotalTracker" - Project - Action - Title

Date is worthless, since its in the email header/sort list

Naming things "PivotalTracker %(project)s" would make sorting 10x better
