Dave Levy asked a question in Plazes on January 26, 2009 08:14:

where has the plazer gone?

The hyperlink to the plazer download page seeems to have been removed from the site home page, which is also hard to read when logged in.

I have a new laptop and want to install the Plazer. Where is it?

Thanks Johan.

On receiving this advice, I checked the site and it seems I was struggling with the RSS option, but it seems to work fine now.

I have added both my blogs, snipsnap and roller.

Roller required that I use the feed URL?

What do you look for when a user submits a web page? i.e. how can a web page author ensure your browser finds the RSS feed? Can it be ATOM?

Teach me to be impatient.

I logged into Living Social using my non face book login. I went to the 'Manage' movies page and the feed link is at the bottom.

It has no logo, nor is it called RSS, nor ATOM. It is on the right hand side.

This is a serious inhibitor to my using this service, I suspect I am not alone. Are you going to reply?

How do I find my Movies RSS Feed address?

I have a Facebook and Living Social account. I joined the two accounts for the purposes of using Visual Bookshelf, and have, with your help, found my Books RSS Feed.

The instructions in the FAQ do ot seem to work for me in finding he Movies feed. I can see no RSS buttons on my Living Social page, which I used my Facebook credentials to log into nor on my Facebook Movies page.

Dave Levy replied on January 14, 2009 08:24 to the problem "I can't login using Firefox 2.0" in Secondbrain:

I understand and its good advice, I also use Opera, which works. Unfortunately the laptop is not mine and I can't use Firefox 3 on that machine. I do so on others.

I logged the probelm here so that you guys would know.

I suspect I am not the only person with this problem, although it would seem, from the responses that I am. Anyway the problem and one answer is now available for anyone that follows me.

Problems using the MetaBlog API

I tried using the MetaBlog API to consume the following RSS Feed

http://davelevy.dyndns.info/snipsnap/...

it asked me for a URL and looked for the rss address. It reported that it had failed and that you'd look at it, but I have heard nothing. Can you help me understand where the mistake is?

Dave Levy reported a problem in Secondbrain on January 08, 2009 13:20:

I can't login using Firefox 2.0

Basically the login panel remains invisible.

I am using Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP.

I solve this by using a different browser, but you might want to look at it.

That works for me, and I am impressed with the way it finds the right account. I see this is now in the FAQ. Did I miss it when I first looked into this problem?

Thank you. I'll leave it for a day or two to see if moondog replies before I mark the thread as answered, since he opened the thread in the first place.

Dave Levy replied on December 15, 2008 18:06 to the question "what URL shares my bookshelf publicly?" in LivingSocial:

On http://davelevy.info/interests/Books....

I have embedded in a frame which I use for size control the folloing URL

http://readers.livingsocial.com/peopl...

I created this using facebook, which showed me the number which is unique to me. Does this answer your question?

Sadly I can't seem to format the URL to show in this mail, but it works and caqn be copied into the clipboard

I think I have this question too. I want to use features that are only available to account holders. i.e. RSS. How do I claim/login to my living social account when it was created by facebook?

I don't want to loose all the recordsI have created.

Dave Levy replied on December 02, 2008 07:53 to the idea "We need filters in front of our feeds" in Plazes:

I agree that your link is another aspect of the same problem. The filter solves/ameliorates the problem where some one uses two computers on the same network, although as you have discovered so does turning it off.

I linked from your suggestion to here, and now you have linked back. Other correspondents can now easily see both sides of the problem. Thank you.
