Is it just me, or are RSS widgets now no longer trimming long titles?
We indeed removed the option to trim long titles in article summaries. Unfortunately, this introduced a bug, that we later resolved. You should now find titles are trimmed again.
I actually find *not* trimming titles useful in some use cases. Is trimming optional?
I combed through the Preferences/Settings pages but didn’t see an option to turn it on/off.
Trimming the titles of headlines in the summary view of RSS widgets is no longer optional / available.
How do I add my iCal? It is asking for a url.
If I try to add start.me as an extension, it says ‘coming soon.’
Hi Jim,
To add an iCAL calendar:
1. Click on the + sign in the grid to add a new widget
2. Select “Calendar”
3. Select ICAL/ICS
4. Add the title & URL (example http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics)
5. Click the “Add” button
If this doesn’t work, please e-mail us on support@start.me.
Best regards,
Luuk
Do you intend to have an option for 12 hour time instead of 24 hour? I would love that.
And perhaps a bug? On my calendar, it shows all day entries on the day before. So a Monday all day entry will show on Sunday. Perhaps because of time zone differences (just a guess)?
We have put your request on our backlog and will inform you when this is done.
Hi Folks,
How can i link my start.me calendar widget to my office outlook?
Cheers
Luc
Hello, To whom it may concern….. Is there a way I can get the 24 hour clock off my calendar and use 12 hour clock instead…. It would make it a lot easier to read the schedule with normal time instead of army time….. Hope that’s understanding what I am requesting to do…..
Thanks !!!
Good morning, following up on Luc Nanga’s question. I too, would like to link it to my office exchange outlook
Currently that would mean you would have to get a hold of the iCal feed for this calendar. As I don’t use Office Exchange Outlook myself, I don’t really know if such a feed would be available. Perhaps there is a systems administrator you could ask?
