• tstdemo Double BOM Problem Still Exists

  FYI the response from XML-RPC method blogger.getUsersBlogs is not valid XML - it has two BOMs. I've not tried any other methods. This is a bug that should be fixed after the holidays. It would be fixed sooner but (a) the developer is on Xmas vacation and (b) we tend not to make changes to the site over the holidays since so many people are on vacation in case something goes wrong. Sorry about that. :( ...Show All

• MartinHouse 8.0 Beta - What's the difference?

  I'll freely admit to being a non technical person when it comes to backend programming but the fact is that I can't see all that much of a difference from the v7.x of the software. The only thing I've noticed is that the interface is a bit chunky and it signs on a fraction quicker. Is there something I am missing that would make it seem like a real update the new 8 is so much easy to use then the previous ver ...Show All

• Jacob_I Launching an IM Window via JavaScript

  I'm attempting to create a "IM This Page" widget that website owners can place on their pages to let users send their pages over different IM clients.  AOL and Yahoo were pretty simplistic, as they register the aim: and ymsgr: protocols with the OS.  MSN Messenger on the other hand has been extremely difficult. With older version of MSN, one could create JavaScript objects using the progid's MSNMessenger.UIAutomation, MSNMessenger.M ...Show All

• Slaxa API Questions

  I've run into a couple of issues in my development. Both are easy enough to work around but I'd prefer clarification if possible. The first issue is with the response. I seem to be getting a garbage character at the beginning of my response stream. This is preventing me from duming the response directly into the XmlDocument.Load() method. To verify I wrote a console stub and dumped the stream to the screen and it shows as a " " there. I've wo ...Show All

• skg1063 Offset and Count attributes of a SourceRequest

  Hi there! Thanks for the great service, enjoying it immensely. I've found Offset and Count attributes to be useful in displaying results above and beyond the basic 50. As I could establish, Offset let's you receive results on a search query starting from a particular position. However my experience with Offset was very irregular - in some cases it worked flawlesly. But sometimes the order of results with Offset 0 and Offset 1 was diffe ...Show All
