Unanswered ideas in SlideShare

Hi SlideShare-team,

currently, the only way I get retrieve the embed-url for a slideshow, is via hitting http://www.slideshare.net/api/1/get_s... with an api_key.

What would be really neat, was to just use stuff from the url of the slideshow instead of the api_key for the retrieval argument. By nature, the url (e.g. http://www.slideshare.net/HaVai/amazi...) must be unique.

E.g.: gimmeEmbedCodePlx.php?postingUser=HaVai&videoUrlString=amazing-photos-140897

Can you do this? Thank you in advance for your great tool :)

The API functionality is kind of poor. Ok, I can retreive slideshows and upload them, but what about being able to retrieve individual slides from a slideshow? A .png file with the slide for instance (or other format types). This would make a really useful feature. Thanks

After embedding a slideshare file to my blog I've noticed that the file was visible with Firefox but some problems with internet explorer...

1.I've tried to embed the file at http://www.slideshare.net/doktorname/...
2.To embed it to my blog http://doktorname.blogspot.com I used the given embedding code " <div><div> | View | Upload your own</div></div> "
3.The Slideshare file was visible with Firefox but invisible with IE7.
4.I searched for some solution but nothing could be found...
5.AND BINGO...
After changing the embedding code to "
<div class="slideView_swf_style">

</div>"
everything got fine...
6.Now the file is visible at both firefox and IE7.0.

For example when I go to set a slideshow as a favorite I keep clicking on the cancel button on accident. It would be great if cancel was a simple text link, and the more important save button was the prominent thing to act on.

Adding a contact, and removing contacts is very easy, and can't cause any permanent change or damage. So having a stop-gap confirmation step is not necessary, it's actually a bit of a pain. Can you remove it?
