accented characters mess up tags

I've noticed this particularly with the iPhone interface. When I input an accented character, the tag gets chopped off right after the accent. I'm a French speaker, and this is very annoying for me.

I've noticed this elsewhere on the site but I can't remember where exactly (maybe in transfer rules). I've also had descriptions get chopped off when containing accented characters.

There's probably some encoding problem somewhere in your code ;-)

please drop the password anti-pattern

OAuth please?

Could we please authenticate with OAuth? It's available now. http://apiwiki.twitter.com/OAuth-FAQ

The password anti-pattern should really be banned. You probably know a few shady 3rd-party Twitter services did bad things with people's passwords, so there really is a risk out there. I'm sure you're good guys, but you really should not be teaching people to keep giving out their passwords.

Thanks!

Cool, thanks for keeping me informed. I did get the feeling that my "still not satisfied" state about my other posting hadn't been seen, so it's nice to know that's not the case!

Looking forward to copy-pasting in future...

broken/dead poken

One of the Pokens in the packs I ordered seems to have died. It will do the ghost light and flash when you double-click through the different modes, but it refuses to poken with anybody. It pokened 4-5 times just after activation, and then... nada.

What do we do? Is it a known problem? Can you exchange it?

steph asked a question in Poken on March 31, 2009 10:12:

is meetup.com a Poken product?

under products for Poken, there is meetup.com (I added the poken product a little while ago because I felt stupid checking "meetup.com" for Satisfaction to give me the green light on my questions/problems/suggestions).

Maybe a member of staff could remove it?

Still can't copy-paste anything from the cards

I'm finding this increasingly annoying: it's not possible to copy-paste any information (phone number, e-mail address) from my contacts on the Poken website.

I reported this nearly a month ago: http://getsatisfaction.com/poken/topi...

Now I'm starting to be doubly frustrated, because after an initial answer from Poken staff, which did not solve the problem or give me satisfaction, it seems the thread has been ignored.

So, could we please be allowed to copy-paste e-mails and phone numbers from our contacts? I don't want to export vcards for all of my contacts. It seems really bad usability to me to prevent something as basic as copy-paste in this case...

Or maybe there is a real reason for this that escapes me?

Thanks for your attention...

export as csv

Have you thought about doing export as CSV? Vcard is nice and all, but when you have 50 contacts to export...

Incomplete localization on Vigilance theme, or/and in Search widget

I'm trying out the new theme Vigilance, because I think the options are really neat. However, I'm quite disappointed because localisation seems incomplete. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunny/33...



I suspect that the fact I cannot change "Search" to "Recherche" could be fixed by adapting the Search widget. It looks pretty bad when the search box on a French site is in English.

Typo in confirmation e-mail (Poken box purchase)

There is a typo in the confirmation e-mail (in French) that one receives when a Poken box has been sent:

"Nous vous remercions pour votre commande. Nous vous informons que votre commande a été expédié aujourd'hui. Vous recevrez votre commande par courrier postale. Votre facture est ci-jointe."

"courrier postale" should be "courrier postal"

"ghost" mode light visible through Poken plastic

On my poken, when I put it in ghost mode, the blinking red light is visible through the poken plastic if I'm in a dark place (a bar, for example).

Not very "discreet!"

steph replied on March 10, 2009 13:28 to the problem "Did my poken poken with itself?" in Poken:

No, this was just my poken all by itself, and I was in my contacts, not just in the top right.

I'll let you know if it happens again.

steph replied on March 10, 2009 13:27 to the problem "Names and addresses not very readable!" in Poken:

Thanks for the tip -- it would, however, be a good idea to make sure the default size is "readable" for most people.

Asena, Bryan -- can you tell me more about this issue? It's really not very satisfying.

ilovepoken.com: spammer or clumsy affiliate?

The other week, I received two "spammy" (=empty of content, promotional) comments on my website, signed ilovepoken and pointing to http://ilovepoken.com/

Any link with you guys? I don't think it's a good thing for Poken to have people going around making these kinds of comments...

Did my poken poken with itself?

Just found myself amongst my friends. Did my poken poken with itself?

A comment on the question "Poken read-only?" in Poken:

So is this going to happen one day? I just got a box of pokens, and they're proving wildly popular -- but in less than 24 hours 2 people have asked me if they could also use it to store data. – steph, on March 07, 2009 12:38
