A comment on the problem "Taking forever for app details to be approved..." in Wakoopa:

Kilian, might be a good idea to have some indication to show users that their updates are "in the system" and pending review. I think I managed to submit a duplicate set of data for one app, as I was not sure that my suggestions had been received by the site.

Also, surely the way forward is to allow other users to review and approve submissions, rather than doing it yourself? – Mark Posen, on April 09, 2009 11:54

I found a workaround. I changed my default Google site from google.com to google.co.uk and now the side tabs are gone, at least for the time being!

A comment on the question "Why doesn't Xobni auto-update itself?" in Xobni:

Ah thanks for that. it explains what is going on anyway! However, I feel it's rather stupid of Xobni to have two current version numbers for installs which are actually the same version. Therein lies confusion! I hope they find a better way to do statistical tracking in the background in future. – Mark Posen, on October 29, 2008 15:48

NET29?? - Invoice Bug

I've just created an invoice with NET 30 terms but when I save the invoice Zoho changes it to NET 29, even though this is not set up in my "terms" list. I tried changing it to NET 60 and Zoho made it NET 59, so it seems that 1 day is getting subtracted along the way somewhere!

Does anyone know of a Bascamp add-on that adds deadlines to to-dos?

Does anyone know of a Bascamp add-on that adds deadlines to to-dos? I'm sure I Googled something a while back but I can't find it now.

It is essential to be able to edit email addresses associated with a person in Xobni

It is essential to be able to edit email addresses associated with a person in Xobni. Xobni sometimes gets email/person linking wrong - especially with some mailing lists - and there is no way to edit this to sort the mess out. I have a number of cases where I need to be able to remove an email address from a person and set that address up as a separate case. Please can you advise if this essential functionality is going to be provided and if yes, when. This problem really spoils an otherwise excellent product I'm afraid.

Hi Aamir,

I tried this, but although I can't see any firewall issues I couldn't get Xobni to autoupdate.

I've taken the extreme step of uninstalling it and reinstalling the new version.

For the future, please add an "Update Xobni" link somewhere within the application's menus... it will make things a lot easier!

Why doesn't Xobni auto-update itself?

Why doesn't Xobni auto-update itself? The online download version is build 4249 but my installed copy is build 4226. If I download the new version it wants to uninstall the existing version and I don't want to have to reindex so I've not done that. Any help gratefully appreciated.

I'd like to be able to track time against my client list

I'd like to be able to track time against my clients for billing purposes. It would be great if there could be a tray or sidebar application that I can click on to say what client I'm working for at any time (from a list that I can build myself) and then for any activity tracked during that time to be auto-tagged with the clients name. That way I can see how much time I'm spending working for each client and hopefully if hour-by-hour reporting is implemented I can use this information to prepare client billing.

I love Zoho Invoice

Just to say that I think that Zoho Invoice is a fantastic product and getting better by the day as the Zoho team add new features. I'm really impressed by the responsiveness of the Zoho team to suggestions for product improvements. Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks for this and I really appreciate your feedback.

Something more complex is going on I fear. OnSpeed doesn't proxy SSL pages (at least in the browser setup the OnSpeed proxy is only entered for HTTP and not for SSL). However, perhaps RescueTime is sending both HTTP and SLL transactions via the proxy and ignoring the browser settings?

If it were possible to set the proxy manually or to use the browser proxy settings from inside RescueTime I wonder if that might fix this?

I don't want to turn off SSL reporting because of potential privacy/security issues.

I agree 100%. I'd really like to be able to click on one of the hourly blocks on the "Time Spent" widget on the Dashboard and see that broken down into an hourly view which shows which apps, sites, tags, etc. were used minute-by minute over that hour so as to get a good overview as to how time is being spent.
