Topic: troubleshooting / Forum OpenID & Login issues

It will be nice to have a unified log-in. At the moment, I’m not having any problems logging in to the app, but have problems every time I try to log into the forum (I have to reset my password every time). Any suggestions?

Topic: general questions & discussion / LiquidPlanner concept

I’ve posted quite a few requests recently, and just wanted to make sure that the Liquid Planner (or is it “liquid PLANNER”?) crew knows that the LP concept is really great. I’m new to project management, but have been given a huge variety and number of projects to manage. I searched for quite a while for a tool that would help me to both manage the existing projects, but to also really learn from my experiences. The ability to set a completion range is really helping me do both. Thank you!

Topic: general questions & discussion / Projects with Duplicate Workitems

1. (Very minor, but a definite nuisance) The first challenge is the import container. – if I don’t set an import container, then I can’t autoset the project owner. But if I setup an import container, it becomes a sub-container and then I have to change levels of my container and delete the parent import container.
2. The second challenge is the added import-related text – not only do I not need to know that the information was imported, or when it was imported, there is more text about the import than there is text in any of my tasks, and since it comes first, I have to either manually delete it (really kinda defeats the purpose) or make my columns wider, but then columns fall out of view due to screen width. I’m sure some individuals would benefit from having the import info, but I’m certainly not one of them. Is there anyway to exclude all the extraneous import related text?

Topic: troubleshooting / Forum OpenID & Login issues

@ Adam aka Johnny-on-the-spot – I was unable to use openid with either the app or the forum and ended up giving up (although, I’m still holding out hope ;-). I am only having problems logging into the forum, but it is a problem every time I try to login to the forum.

Topic: troubleshooting / Forum OpenID & Login issues

When I signed up, I could not get the liquid Planner forum to accept my openid (through myopenid.com). Now I have an account based on my email address, but every time I try to log in I get a notice saying my userid and password don’t match, and end up having to reset my password. Any suggestions?

Topic: feature ideas & requests / Resource Scheduling

Along the some lines, it would be nice to be able to have multiple personas so that a person can be assigned different hours per project without setting off a lot of warnings. (At the moment, I have a virtual member assigned for my dissertation project, but every time I set something, e.g. a new task or an estimate, I get a “not by owner” warning)

Topic: feature ideas & requests / Fluid icon

If you just want a site specific browser you should be able to run Prism with a Mozilla browser, such as Firefox. I don’t like Prism nearly as much as Fluid, so when you catch the Leopard I would still recommend going with Fluid.

As for the icon, I can use one from the logo page. It won’t be the prettiest, but it’s better than a generic alternative.

Topic: feature ideas & requests / Fluid icon

liquid planner looks like it will be useful enough to warrant being run as its own application via Fluid (http://fluidapp.com/). Is there any chance you will release a liquid planner icon to be used with Fluid (http://www.flickr.com/groups/fluid_icons/)?

Topic: feature ideas & requests / Resource Scheduling

I’d really like the ability to set specific schedules for resources. For example, I work full-time and am also a doctoral student. My full-time work has a consistent number of hours for four days a week, while my doctoral existence has a only an hour a day those four days, but then has several hours two days a week (I take one day completely off from all obligations). The current gantt-ish visualization works well for the full-time projects, but doesn’t work well for the odd hours of my doctoral project.
