This would be a useful option.

I agree. It needs to be very obvious signal that it is running. This is a must have.

Looks good! Thanks for the fix. :)

Toolbar half-hidden for IE7 users

The reason I noticed this is that a client I am working with on a project said that the toolbar was hidden for them and they were having trouble using it. I checked the page in Internet Explorer 7 and saw that the toolbar is actually half obscured.

I will encourage my Windows-using clients to switch to Firefox, but the fact is a lot of folks are still just stuck on Internet Explorer, so I though this was worth mentioning.

After some testing and use with a few clients, I've signed up for the 3 private projects plan to begin with and am going to be using No Kahuna to manage my projects. I'm sold.

I will just mention again my preference for comments to be displayed chronologically. That is, the first comment first (right after the message) with the form for entering a new comment at the very end. To me, this just reads better and is more logical since you see the conversation build from top to bottom, the way a person reads the page...then after you have all the info you make the next comment!

I can see how if a user is coming straight from an email they are likely to want to be right at the comment form, but what if they navigate to the page from the dashboard? They would need to scroll down the page, reading the conversation in reverse order before they could get the context, then scroll back to the comment entry form.

If you really want the link from the email to be directly to the comment form, maybe put an anchor link to the comment form in the email.

I know, keep it simple.... but the ability to have the comments displayed in the order they were posted with a comment form at the bottom would be more usable from my perspective. Your thought to make this a preference setting might be the solution. I know you can't make everyone happy and have to limit features, so thanks for considering...and thanks for making a great product.

Thanks!

Change question mark

Hi,

No Kahuna is working out great for me so far. After trying a lot of different project management tools I really do think your simplicity model is an advantage. Please keep up the good work!

Here is a suggestion: Instead of using a question mark for users who have not uploaded an avatar, what if you used a silhouette instead? I think this might be less ambiguous to users because the question mark signifies that there is somehow confusion or something unresolved.

I think people try to click on the question mark or puzzle out what it is -- especially if they aren't used to using web applications like this. Whereas an outline of a person's head would signify pretty clearly. The main place I notice this is on task and messages pages.

Thanks.

I understand your reasoning and can see how this is just a preference thing. It is not a show stopper for me, but I'll admit I'd find it handy for the most recent comment to be right in my field of vision when I'm writing the next comment.

"Add Comment field" seems out of place

I think No Kahuna is great.

There is something I noticed that throws me off a little, so I thought I'd mention it and make a suggestion.

When viewing/commenting on a message, it seems counter-intuitive for the "add comment" field to be displayed *before* any existing comments. Have you considered placing the "add comment" field last? This way it would more logically continue the thread and users would see the entire conversation before commenting.

riley replied on March 20, 2009 01:25 to the question "Upgrade slots re-usable?" in No Kahuna:

Great! That answers my question. I assume that any uploaded files in a finished project would also remain accessible -- just can't make any changes to a downgraded project...correct?

riley asked a question in No Kahuna on March 20, 2009 00:30:

Upgrade slots re-usable?

Hi,

I'm evaluating this product (looks great so far) and have a question.

If I purchase an upgrade for 3 private projects, can I re-use one of those slots when a project is finished? What I mean to say is, what if I finish one of my three private projects and want to start a new one? Can I just swap in the new one and "close" out the finished project somehow? Or would I need to keep upgrading to have another private project?

@blast If you are tired of the web-based tracking TimerSync works just fine.
