H: Is there a way to save a filter in Trello?
I like to view our board filtered by cards assigned to me with the rest hidden. Every time I go to Trello, to get this view, I have to click filter, choose me, and switch from translucent to hidden.
Is there a way to save this filter so that every time I go to Trello the board has this filter applied already?
AI: There isn't currently a way to save card filters, though it's something that has been considered and may be implemented in the future.
To quickly filter just your cards, you can use the 'q' shortcut. Just hit 'q' while viewing a board. |
H: How does Gmail store the "new look" flag?
We use Google Apps for domains, including Gmail. Some of our users have gotten the new look forced upon them already, but others still have a choice. I have one person who was given the choice, tried the new look, and then used the Revert Temporarily link to go back to the old interface.
He now wants to use the new look, but he is not getting the link to switch. I'm assuming, since the URL doesn't change when you change from old to new, that there's a cookie stored somewhere that lets Gmail know which interface to display. What is that cookie?
AI: "New look" switch is stored on Google's servers independently of the browser.
As far as I understood from Google's emails to the domains I manage, until the domain rolls out "new look" to everyone (through a check-box in Email settings in the management console) users should be able to switch between the two. In any case, the re-design will be mandatory within the next 6 weeks (Google recommends voluntary transition by the end of December). |
H: Can I see a List's history in Trello?
If a list was created with a certain name, and then renamed - is this history stored/accessible/searchable?
AI: List rename actions are not currently displayed or searchable. List creation actions should show up in the board activity feed (clicking 'View all' in the sidebar), though the activity feed is not searchable so it may require clicking through a lot. |
H: Device-specific Google Contacts password without 2-step verification
I'm setting up a new phone to synchronize with my Google Contacts, Calendar and maybe Mail.
However, I feel very uncomfortable entering my central Google password into the phone. What happens if it's stolen? I would like a separate password that I can enter into the phone.
However, the only way I can do this seems to be by activating 2-step verification, something I do not want to do because I often travel without my phone.
Is there any way for me to get a separate password to use on my phone?
AI: You can't have two different passwords for the same account. What you can do is either:
Have a password to access the phone itself (as Al suggested); or
Have a second account set on the phone, that has access (through sharing) to your main account calendar and contacts (I'm not sure how this works or even if it does, to be honest); or
Have some VPN client on the phone, that gives you access to your home computer.
Yes, these are very looooong shots, but what you are asking for is not that simple (or even possible, for that matter).
Edit:
What you can also do is setup the two-step verification, indeed. This way, you will have a special app password that allows it to connect to your account.
After you turn on 2-step verification, non-browser applications and devices that use your Google Account (such as the Gmail app on your phone or Outlook), will be unable to connect to your account. However, in a few steps, you can generate a special password called application-specific password to allow this application to connect to your account -- and don't worry, you'll only have to do this once for each device or application.
From this Accounts help page (emphasis by me). |
H: How to sort Google chat's contacts by last contacted?
How can I sort Google Talk's contacts that are shown on the bottom left of Gmail by last contacted? Right now I have it sorted alphabetically, it seems, which is not that useful.
AI: There is no such option in Google Talk. There might be a 3rd-party Google Talk client that allows that kind of sorting but I'm unaware of it. This functionality requires storing conversation logs or access to logs saved in GMail, which are optional. |
H: Sort all Gmail contacts by contact frequency
Is it possible to sort all Gmail contacts by contact frequency, either directly from Gmail or using a external tool/service? How?
AI: Not in GMail. The only free consumer service with a similar function is Gist. It allows you to sort contacts by "Importance" (overall frequency & depth of conversations) and by communications sent/received to/from a contact. However, it scans only the last 30 days of communication history for new accounts. Everything else is expensive enterprise customer relationship management software. |
H: Sending an email to a Facebook user, knowing only his id
If I send an email to [email protected] then John will receive the message.
In my address book I have the Facebook ids of my friends.
Can I use those ids to send an email?
I just tried [email protected] and I received "Recipient address does not exist" (I replaced 12345 with my own Facebook id).
How to send an email knowing only the id?
AI: You can send emails only to people who have usernames claimed. Facebook doesn't allow sending emails to IDs.
Below's my original (wrong) answer.
Yes, the email is [email protected]. Your friends should receive them as long as you send them from an email associated with your Facebook account because the default setting is to accept messages from at least friends.
You likely didn't receive your test message because your setting is currently something restrictive. Emails to [email protected] are controlled by the same setting as all messages sent on Facebook, which is "Who can send you Facebook messages?" under How You Connect in Privacy Settings. |
H: Can I send a postcode direct to Google Maps in the URL?
I have a form on my web page that includes a postcode. I want to open a new window and display Google Maps with the data from my postcode form. Ideally something like:
www.maps.google.co.uk%postcode=pr87uu
Is this something I can do easily?
AI: Just like the Google search you can enter it in the URL as a query, http://maps.google.co.uk/m?q=pr87uu worked perfectly for me. It's a location near Southport, right? |
H: How to exclude comments from Facebook subscription notifications?
The new "subscription" feature of Facebook is clearly valuable. But:
Even though I am only subscribed to one person and expect to only get notified once when the person posts a new update, I constantly get notifications! Why is that so?
I now noticed and assume that Facebook always notifies me for every single comment from one individual friend of the person I subscribed to!
I don't even know those persons and I don't care and I did not subscribe to (or like) the individual comment "thread", so I don't understand why I still get notified?!
I checked the "Notification" settings, there is no sub-settings menu for the "subscriptions" feature. Did anyone else notice this and complain to Facebook? I mean I wonder what I'd do if I subscribed to dozens of people then? That would be a complete overload!
AI: By default you will see anything from that person that is publicly visible, including public comments. To turn these off, go to their profile or timeline and find the "Subscribed" button at the top, or hover over their name in one of their posts. While hovering over the "Subscribed" button, go down to "Comments and Likes" and uncheck it to stop seeing their Comments and Likes in your News Feed. |
H: How can I let others see events on my published calendar as not just “busy”?
I created a Google Calendar to embed on my website. I went to "Share this Calendar" and checked the following:
Share this calendar with others
Share this calendar with everyone my the organization
I then copied and pasted the embed code onto my website:
<p><iframe src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=hauscr.org_amh863cnb4564g11toarp9tfg8%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York&dates=20120201%2F20120315" style="border: 0" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
For 2., I selected "See all event details." Indeed, now, anyone logged in through my organization's Google apps can see my event details.
However, I also want the public set to "See all event details." Right now, all events are labeled to the public as merely "busy." The public cannot see the details of the events.
The option "1. Share this calendar with others" on the Google Calendar interface does not let me select "See all event details." for the public.
Here is what I mean: Google Calendar will not let me reveal event details to the public; it's not an option in the select box:
Does anyone know why?
AI: Your calendar behaves this way because of the settings in Google Apps. The default config for sharing outside of the organization is showing only free/busy information without the details. Your admin needs to change it to Share all information, but outsiders cannot change calendars or Share all information, and outsiders can change calendars in the settings page of Calendar (simply click Calendar from the admin dashboard).
You can also try setting each of your events as Public when creating them. That's the option in the Privacy control (the very last one) on the event creation page. However, this might not work because of the organization-wide setting described above. |
H: Why is a photo I set to be featured on my timeline not appearing on my timeline?
I added a photo to my wall this morning. I then changed the date of the photo to December, 25th and set the photo to be a featured timeline item. Finally, I set the photo to be my cover photo. (Obviously, I really like the photo.)
Unfortunately, while the photo appears as my cover it does not appear in my timeline. When I double checked my activity it shows that I did indeed set the photo to be featured.
My timeline between December 24th and December 29th.
How can I get the photo to appear on my timeline?
AI: Going to my profile (faceboook.com/myusername)
Uploading a photo with a caption
Currently the photo is set for Today (Jan 2nd) and appears on my timeline immediately.
Changing the date
This gave the notice
This story will be moved to December 25, 2011 on your timeline.
Checking my feed (facebook.com) I see the story as
phwd added a photo from December 25, 2011 to his timeline.
But the timeline link to it is unavailable. So I tried playing around with settings to see what could be the problem. When the date is fixed to the current date, it appears. When it is set in the past I am not sure where it goes.
I think it is pretty safe to say this is a bug
I gave in a bug report (May not do anything soon or ever but it's worth a shot) |
H: Can I get the Stack Exchange markdown toolbar on Reddit?
I understand Reddit uses some kind of Markdown as well. Has anyone written a Chrome/FF userscript that imports the Stack Exchange toolbox (click here to Bold/Italic/Add Link) into Reddit?
AI: This might be of some use to you:

H: What is the equivalent key in Google Spreadsheet to Excel's F2 for editing a cell?
In Excel
When you want to edit the highlighted cell, and you don't want to move back to the previous cell when pressing the <- key, you press F2.
Pressing F2 ensures that when you're editing the cell, the cursor will move back to the previous character and not the previous cell.
In Google Spreadsheets?
In Google Spreadsheets, the only way to achieve similar functionality to F2 in Excel is by double-clicking the cell with the mouse.
Pressing enter on the selected cell in Google Spreadsheets re-instantiates the behavior where pressing the <- key moves you to the previous cell.
Question
Is there a keyboard shortcut in Google Spreadsheets that creates the same behavior
as the Excel F2 key?
AI: Per the official list of keyboard shortcuts, F2 is the only key responsible for editing a cell. I've just tried it in 3 browsers (Chrome 16, Firefox 9, and IE 9) and it doesn't function the same way as it does in Excel.
Your solutions are 1) pressing F2 before entering any data, 2) pressing Backspace to remove the characters you've typed after the error, or 3) using the mouse to navigate. |
H: How to use a GitHub as a hosting for a small static website?
I have found a project called impress.js on GitHub.
This project has a cool demo at http://impress.github.io/impress.js/.
How can I use GitHub in a similar way for my projects' demos (or at least for HTML-formatted online docs)?
AI: They are called GitHub Pages. Here are the details on how to set it up.
Create a repository
Head over to GitHub and create a new repository named username.github.io, where username is your username (or organization name) on GitHub.
If the first part of the repository doesn’t exactly match your username, it won’t work, so make sure to get it right.
Clone the repository
Hello World
Enter the project folder and add an index.html file: |
H: Do Google Search URLs contain sensitive (private) details?
I noticed that if I'm logged into Google Account (my Gmail and everything) and do a search in the address bar, the URL of the resultant page is really long.
Now, I was wondering: is there any sensitive data (I don't mean releasing the ability to login into my account, I would in fact consider any data about me to be sensitive) within the URL?
Or to rephrase the sentence, can I simply copy the URL (http://www.google.com.sg/search?ix=hcb&q=asdgndghj&um=1&hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&biw=1138&bih=562&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw&ei=ix4ET_uwMYLYrQf3venKDw) and send it to a friend / paste it in a public forum?
Or do I have to manually write a URL as such: http://www.google.com/search?q=asdgndghj
AI: Now I was wondering are there any sensitive data (I do not mean releasing the ability to login into my account, I would in fact consider any data about me to be sensitive) within the URL?
There is no sensitive data - apart from referrer, parameters indicating any search suggestions, corrections, safesearch restrictions and so on. |
H: Facebook used to need to LIKE a page first, before they can like any content (photo, comment), when this has taken out?
Facebook used to need to LIKE a page first, before they can like any content (photo, comment), when this has taken out?
When Non-fan want to like any post of the page, (e.g user comment, photo, or other content). When Non-fan click on the like, Facebook will ask them to like the page before they can do that, I just found out Facebook does not work like this any more.
May I know since when this had changed?
We are planning to having a contest to ask Facebook user to like our fan page, before the like to the photo, but with current Facebook setting, user can just like the photo without like our fan page.
AI: Contests/competitions/sweepstakes/etc
must not use Facebook features or functionality as a promotion’s registration or entry mechanism. For example, the act of liking a Page or checking in to a Place cannot automatically register or enter a promotion participant
and
must not condition registration or entry upon the user taking any action using any Facebook features or functionality other than liking a Page, checking in to a Place, or connecting to your app. For example, you must not condition registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or uploading a photo on a Wall
and
must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion
See Facebook's Promotion Guidlines for the rest of rules and regulations. |
H: How long is the delay between IFTTT trigger and posting action?
How long does it take for IFTTT to notice that a trigger has occurred and for IFTTT to fire off the event? The IFTTT website is absent of any documentation.
AI: Most Personal Recipes check for new Trigger data every 15 minutes, some are even faster.

H: Is there a hack to force Twitter not to convert words like ASP.NET to links?
Currently, Twitter converts anything that has dot inside it into a link, e.g. ASP.NET becomes http://ASP.NET, Any.DO becomes http://Any.DO etc. I currently make a space if I want the word to stay the way it should, e.g. "ASP. NET" though it is not right.
Is there a hack around this Twitter bug? Like if there would be some unicode character that looked like a dot and could be inserted there or something like that.
AI: Use a zero-width space. It's completely unnoticeable: ASP.Net
I also use this trick to get around the minimum-character limit on some sites * cough *. |
H: Is it a copyright violation to upload a video singing traditional Christmas songs to YouTube?
I just uploaded a video of our family signing some traditional Christmas songs to YouTube. There is no musical instruments or pre-recorded backup. We have a mix of teenagers and small kids who sing at different tempos and levels of enthusiasm. Just barely passes as singing.
YouTube reported that there was a copyright claim against my video. When I clicked details it reported "Entity: Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society Content Type: Musical Composition".
It was my understanding that singing or humming a song was not considered violation according to YouTube, but singing along, or using backup music was. Is this a case of YouTube's detection algorithm going overboard, or just the usual overbearing copyright law?
AI: YouTube reported that there was a copyright claim against my video.
A claim not a violation.
Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society is the generic name given to represent organizations that collect royalties for music.
YouTube most likely has contracts with many collecting agencies and just clumped them under one name. It's just an indication that someone out there has rights and gets royalties when you broadcast your video.
For more information on Royalties

MCPS, PRS and PPL
And Fair Use does not work here
When a copyright holder sues a user of the work for infringment, the user may argue in defense that the use was not infringement but "fair use." Under the fair use doctrine, it is not an infringement to use the copyrighted works of another in some circumstances, such as for commentary, criticism, news reporting, or educational use. The defense generally depends on a case-by-case judgment of the facts.
On whether the Christmas song they sang is public domain (which I think only works for United States) is another thing altogether. The song could be in the public domain but recordings of the song may not be.
Yes, music copyright law is confusing and stupid.
The video will most likely not be removed but have ads slapped on it.
Consider contesting the claim with the dispute form. |
H: How to tag more than 20 people in Facebook
In this question, someone is asking how to tag more than 50 people in a picture. He even has a link to someone who has done it.
I can only tag up to 20 people.
How are some people able to tag more than 20 people?
AI: You can status tag up 10 users.
You can location tag up to 20 users.
You can photo tag up to 50 users.
You are talking about different things.
I assume you are talking about the location tag.
As always with actions that only one user is able to accomplish but the masses cannot; it's best not to try to attempt it. The correct answer is: it is not possible to tag pass the limit. And if it is possible you put yourself in the "might get blocked/banned from Facebook for crossing some abstract clause in the Facebook TOS" boat.
As for the reasoning for the limits comes down to distribution. You are using a hammer to fry your eggs. In most cases, these actions come from users trying to promote an event, spammers or an irrelevant photo of a cat/cartoon/joke. |
H: Google Sites words in navigation bar is "one-line-only". How to make it multi-line?
I use horizontal navigation bar in Google sites, however the problem is that the words in the horizontal navigation bar is "single-lined".
I am allowed to change the text in the navigation bar, but no matter how I try, I couldn't get the behavior to be "multi-lined".
For example, I want my navigation bar to look like this:
Helloooooooooo | Helloooooooooo | Helloooooooooo
Worldddddddddd | Worlddddddddd2 | Worlddddddddd3
Right now, it is all in one line:
Helloooooooooo Worldddddddddd | Helloooooooooo Worlddddddddd2 | Helloooooooooo Worlddddddddd3
AI: This is accomplished by setting max-width or width property in CSS on the enclosing element (usually, navigation links are enclosed in <li>). However, Google Sites doesn't give access to the template's CSS so there's no way to do multi-line navigation links. |
H: Is there a service that shows you the favorite tweets of the people you follow?
I'm looking for something like Stellar but already populated with the people I'm following.
AI: Check Favstar's Tweets recently faved by people you follow
This will you give a list of the most recently Starred Tweets. Unfortunately there is a limit to how much you can see per day based on their Bonus Features
You can also try making a favstar.fm list |
H: Set Gmail as protocol handler
Websites can ask permission to make themselves protocol handlers, which means that when you click on a link with a certain protocol, that link will be opened "using" that website.
How do I do this with Gmail for the mailto protocol?
I'm using Chrome, but I hope there is some setting in Gmail that I can toggle for this, so that I don't need to ask this for every browser I use.
I looked in the Chrome settings, and there is a way to manage protocol handlers, but not to add new ones. The option can be found under the privacy settings.
AI: I don't think it is a gmail setting.
I know that in Firefox you can set it under options/applications. Just set the mailto link.
For IE I can set it via the Google toolbar.
I don't have chrome on this computer. |
H: How can I verify my PayPal account without giving them direct access to my bank account?
Most sites where you can buy products with PayPal require your account to be verified. It appears that the only way to verify your account is by associating it with your bank account. I prefer not to give companies direct access to my bank account, since if there is an error on their end, a security breach, etc. I could be out a lot of money with no warning. I would like to associate it with a credit card instead, where the money won't be taken out of my account until I pay my monthly credit card bill. This gives me the ability to dispute claims through the credit card company, which is much more likely to succeed.
Is there any way to have a verified address using a credit card instead of direct access to my bank account?
AI: I have verified mine with just a credit card by following the "Add a credit card" option - just gone in and checked it now. The process involves PayPal charging a nominal small fee to the card, then you enter the code that will appear on your statement.
They still would prefer me to add a bank account to the details page (they offer to lift receiving limits if I do this) but my account is verified purely from the credit card validation.
(Caveat - I am in the UK. Rules may be different) |
H: Facebook: List of subscribers
I want to get a list of people who has subscribed to my updates. How can I get that in new Facebook Timeline?
AI: The direct link that will work for anyone is this http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?sk=subscribers
Original answer:
There are 2 options, if you have claimed & know your unique username (not your email used to login), just enter this address: http://facebook.com/USERNAME/subscribers (replacing USERNAME with your own).
If you don't know it, go to your profile, click on the arrow with a number in the row of tiles where your friends & photos are and you'll see the link to subscribers. |
H: Take Over A Stack on Delicious
I've found an "abandoned" stack on Delicious and want to be the "owner" of it. The owner has been inactive for a long time and I would like to continue their work. Is this possible?
AI: As there is no built-in way to contact another Delicious user, it appears that you are out of luck. There is no official way to take over another user's stack.
There are a few things you can try, though:
Search online for the user name. Maybe that person is active on other sites under the same name and can be contacted there.
Copy all the links in a stack to your own stack and continue there. A partially automated how-to has been proposed on Webapps before.
Propose contacting users as a new feature in the support forums. |
H: Mobile upload email address
Possible Duplicate:
Email address through which I can update my Facebook status
Where can I find my Facebook mobile upload email address?
(Once it was displayed at http://www.facebook.com/mobile but now it looks like it's moved somewhere else.)
AI: It has been removed from that page, but can still be found by going to video upload https://www.facebook.com/video/?upload, and clicking the Mobile Video tab.
I found this answer here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120105075116AASJRnH |
H: Is it allowed to show information from Wikipedia and other sites on my site?
For Example: I want to create an institute directory of my country. I want to show institute name, logo, emails, phone numbers and some other information. Now I have two resources, institute website and Wikipedia. Can I copy these information from these two resources without permission.
Remember I don't want to copy any word by word content from these resources. I just want to show their information with their name which is already available on their sites.
Is it allowed without permission ? If yes then please provide some examples.
AI: Under US laws, a simple list of names isn't copyright-protected but the arrangement (i.e. typographic styling, additional information besides the name, etc) is protected.
If you're unsure what can be borrowed and how to cite information from Wikipedia, you can consult its distribution license. |
H: YouTube deeplinking in video's description
So, I've tried to figure this out, but unable to get it to work, nor am I sure it's even possible.
(Related YouTube support page for "Deeps Links".)
I'm trying to link to a predefined time in the description of a video I loaded; think table of contents. Currently, I'm able to type the section name, hit return, paste the URL in for the video, add #t=0m10s to the end of that URL, save the video settings... and then load the video in YouTube, click the link, and have it go to the 10th second in the video.
Problem is I was hoping not to have ugly URLs in the description, or when the URL is clicked have it open the same video to a new window leaving both of the videos playing.
If possible I'd like to link the section name text and have to just it skip to that section of the video without reloading the page or opening the same video on a new page. How can I do that?
AI: So this is what worked for me, after signin:
Load the video, put a place holder description in.
Click your username in the top right corner, then click "Video Manager" is the list below.
Find the video you'd like to add deeplinks to within the video's description.
Under that video, click "Edit Info"
Use the format "Text 00:00" - which is the same as the comments format and only support minutes and seconds, not hours, half-seconds, etc.
Note: It possible this works when loading the video, but already had the video loaded, and on other forums it said that didn't work anyway, so I didn't even bother to test it.
If it matters, the real format I used was "Text (00:00)" - which to me was easy to read and understand, especially after the time becomes hyperlinked and blue. |
H: How does Wikipedia prevent spamming?
Anybody can alter wiki contents, and I am wondering "How does Wikipedia prevent spamming?", when even not registered members edit the contents. What you think about it?
AI: Crowdsourcing
Wikipedia has many editors, each editor is usually subscribed to change notifications of the article they created/edited during their Wikipedia activity life span. When you make an edit, one of the editors reviews it and if it's spam he will revert the change to the article previous state.
Wikipedia relies on people to filter out the spam, you can do this too by going to the history tab. |
H: Facebook: Remote log out all sessions
How can I see the list of Facebook sessions and remotely log out from all sessions of Facebook?
AI: Go to Account Settings
Go to Security
Search for Active Sessions - the last section from below
Click on Edit on the right side
If you have more than the current session, the others will be displayed below the current one
Click on End Activity for each session you want to close |
H: Delete Smart Lists from Facebook
I'd like to remove several "smart lists" from my Facebook account. On the lists page, I'm able to remove custom-made lists using the dropdown menu (pencil icon), but smart lists created by Facebook cannot be deleted this way.
Is there a way to remove these lists? I've already removed the associated profile entries from my account (for example, college/university pages), but the smart lists of people who attended them were not removed.
AI: According to Facebook, you can't delete smart lists:
Note: You can’t delete default lists, but you can hide them from your
home page. These lists will also stop appearing on your home page if
you don't use them.
You can archive them, so they stop posting things. They will still be accessible through > lists. |
H: Facebook status manager
I can't find the status manager (or subscription manager?) on Facebook. I know I can unsubscribe from status updates on the News Feed, but it is very slow.
Anyone knows where is this status manager?
AI: There is no way to selectively bulk unsubscribe from status updates ("Hide Story").
When you hide a story the following notice appears
Then if you hide all posts from the user/page in question will no longer appear in your News Feed.
You can however use the Subscriptions page to change your subscriptions of users and friends
http://facebook.com/profile.php?sk=subscribedto
Where yourusername is the username to link to your profile.
And your friend subscriptions are at
http://facebook.com/profile.php?sk=subscribedto&filter=1
You can reach these links also via your profile (under your cover photo) |
H: How can I add a "Buy It Now" price to an existing auction item?
I created an auction item on eBay yesterday, and today I've had a user ask if they can "Buy It Now" as they require the item ASAP.
I went to edit/revise the item, and the Buy It Now field was disabled from editing.
Is there a way of editing the Buy It Now field on an existing item?
AI: You can't attach a "buy it now" after the auction is live, its currently in play.
See here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fixed-price.html#changing
Changing your listing format
You can't switch between a fixed price listing and an online auction
with a Buy It Now price. However, in some situations, you can add,
edit, or remove a Buy It Now price.
For auction-style listings: If more than 12 hours remain before the listing ends, you might be able to add, edit, or remove a Buy It
Now price as long as the listing has not received any bids.
For fixed price listings: You can edit the Buy It Now price. |
H: Running Out of Space on GMail, Now What?
I have a personal account that's running out of space (mostly due to family members emailing huge pictures). I plan to move those all to Flickr, but in the mean time, what will happen when my GMail account runs out of space?
I've heard anecdotal evidence that "nothing happens" and things continue to work as expected. If that's the case, awesome; but if, say, I stop receiving emails, that could be seriously catastrophic.
AI: If you approach your storage limit, the quota indicator will change from green to red. If you go over your limit, incoming messages to your account will be returned to the sender.
From the Gmail help page on storage limit. |
H: Is there still a way to send a message with a friend request on Facebook?
With the new Facebook layout (timeline, etc.) friend requests are made with one click (the old pop-up box doesn't show up anymore). I tried to send a friend request to someone I hadn't seen in a while with a personal message included but I didn't see an option to do so. Where did the option to send a message with a friend request go? Or is it just gone?
AI: Facebook has removed that feature (Sending a message during a friend request). Instead, you can message that person just before or after you make the friend request. The Message button is located near the Add Friend button. |
H: Display a branch other than master on GitHub project home page
The regular main page (https://github.com/username/repo) for a repo on GitHub displays the master branch by default.
Is there a way to make it display another branch as the default, say if I make a branch called main, default, head etc.?
AI: Repository Administration - Options - Settings - Default branch select-box
Change "master" to any (existing) branch |
H: Reloading page via the reload button or the site logo?
Occasionally, I have browsers/searchers block and I'll sit on the frontpage of Stack Exchange sites waiting for something to pop up... reloading the page every now and again.
Vs.
Is there a difference between the two?
I get the feeling clicking the SE page logo reloads less?
When using the browser reload, it takes slightly longer and completely redraws the page.
Is one less load on the server or a preferred method to reload/refresh the frontpage?
AI: You should generally be clicking on the site logo rather than hitting the reload button.
In almost every browser, the reload button will invalidate locally cached copies of everything on the page (including images, CSS, and plenty of other static content that won't have changed). This will cause unnecessary load on the site (or, if they are lucky, some intermediate caching proxy).
Clicking on the site logo will just reload the current URL (assuming you are viewing the site's main page) and will generally cause just a few (possibly just one) HTTP GET request. |
H: Explain Quora's "Ask to Answer" feature
Could someone please explain the "Ask to Answer" feature on Quora?
AI: Basically, when you ask a question, (1) Quora suggests a set of users determined algorithmically to better answer your question — that are not among your friends (this is important!) —, and (2) the suggested users have an "answering fee" that they (can?) require in order to answer the respective question.
For the first part:
The first is suggestions for Ask to Answer, a list of people on Quora who can best answer a particular question. We've always offered the ability to ask someone to answer a question, but you had to know about that person ahead of time. Our new suggestions list identifies people who have written good answers to similar questions, so you can discover and ask people you might not otherwise have found.
For the second part:
The second part is credits, a virtual currency that's used to ask people to answer. Everyone on Quora will get a balance of credits, and each person on the new suggestions list has an ask to answer price.
From this Quora thread. |
H: Is there a way to drag and drop in Trello on Android browsers?
Is it possible to drag and drop cards between boards at the board level using a mobile browser? Or is that just rephrasing the question "when will there be a native android app"?
I can log into Trello using Opera browser on Android, and the format of boards and cards is displayed ok. But the easiest way to move cards is to open the card and use its move dropdown. So it's possible, just less intuitive.
AI: Not currently. Trello doesn't use the touch events used in iOS and Android browsers, so things like drag and drop will not work.
You can tap the card menu (the button in the top right corner of the card) and select 'Move'. It will let you move between boards, lists, and within a list. |
H: How can I recover my Gmail account when I remember the password, not the username?
I have a Gmail account that I haven't used in ages so I've forgotten the login name I used to sign up with. I've forgotten the recovery e-mail address setup on the account but I can remember my password.
How can I find out the username?
Whenever I go to http://gmail.com I just get the "Create New Account" page. There's no option "I've already got an account, what's my username?".
Once I have that I can use the password recovery options.
I need to have a Gmail account for Google Talk but don't really want to create another account unless I really have to.
AI: According to Google Support you can use the recovery link on this page: Recovering sign-in information
From here, you should try with all accounts you are associated with to see what accounts are linked. (Assuming you remember all email accounts used apart from the one you forgot). It is sort of hit and miss but it has worked for me on two separate occasions.
You should get an email similar to the following.
Your recovery address, [email protected], is associated with:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
To sign in, visit the link below.
http://www.google.com/accounts/
If you've received this mail in error, it's likely that another user
entered your email address by mistake while trying to recall their
username. If you didn't initiate the request, you don't need to take
any further action and can safely disregard this email.
If clicking the link above does not work, copy and paste the URL in a
new browser window instead.
Thank you for using Google.
For questions or concerns regarding your account, please visit the
Google Accounts FAQ at http://www.google.com/support/accounts/.
This is a post-only mailing. Replies to this message are not

As seen above it works for multiple accounts. So any account that has [email protected] listed is brought up in the list.
Additionally you can search your email accounts for the following subject line
Your Gmail address has been created
This will bring up (if you didn't delete it), the confirmation email messages of all Gmail accounts you used the current account as a recovery point. Although, based on "used in ages" I am not sure how far back Google used to send out this message. |
H: Is it possible to copy all my bookmarks from Delicious to Evernote?
I'd like to migrate my content from Delicious from Evernote. Is that possible?
AI: Evernote used to offer this functionality, but they've since discontinued it.
A third-party web application, Delicious to Evernote, now offers this functionality, but only imports 1000 bookmarks and sometimes errors with Error processing : Exception of type 'Evernote.EDAM.Error.EDAMUserException' was thrown. Also note that you need to trust this developer with your private information to use it.
Someone else offers instructions on how to do this manually using the Delicious API to export, a JavaScript-based translator, and the Evernote desktop app's import feature, but not everyone has been able to make this solution work for them.
For new bookmarks, it is possible to replicate them on Evernote using ifttt.com. |
H: Uploading email archive to Google Apps email, and automatically creating contacts
I have been using Entourage, but don't have any contacts in it. Now I will upload Entourages email archive to my account on Google Apps email. I want Google Apps email to create contacts for all the email addresses in the archive.
Normally GA email automatically does that each time you reply. But since this account is completely imported it is in a virgin state.
Will GA email automatically create contacts for all the emails that have been replied to in the archive, or does it only do that for replies made on its own system from now on?
If the latter, how do I automatically batch convert all my emails into contacts with a few clicks?
Maybe I can batch select them as not spam, but this might be a risk, as there is probably some spam in the archive.
AI: GMail won't scan your uploaded sent messages to populate your address book with contacts. You have to import or create your contacts separately. |
H: How shall I set up Google Voice to use the internal microphone of my laptop?
I was wondering how to set up Google Voice to use the internal microphone of my laptop. I don't find such settings my Google Voice account.
In case it may be needed, my OS is Ubuntu 10.10 and laptop is Lenovo T400.
AI: Google Voice doesn't ring your computer directly unless you have an active Gmail window at all times.
To enable call forwarding to Gmail, go to Google Voice settings → Phones and click Add another phone, then follow the directions.
To configure the internal microphone to work with Gmail, you first need to have the drivers properly setup and configured. Once the microphone is configured, go to Settings → Chat in Gmail (or click this link), then look at the Voice and video chat section and select the appropriate device in the Microphone drop-down. If there are no options to change, install the video plugin and refresh the page. |
H: When I login in Yahoo Mail, I am logged out automatically from Messenger. How to stop that?
When I login in Yahoo Mail, I am logged out automatically from Messenger (the real one).
That's because I appear in Yahoo Mail Chat list.
How to stop that, that is how to stop being logged out from Messenger?
AI: You need to sign out from the messenger in Yahoo Mail. Click the yellowish lightning icon next to Online Contacts (it's grey in the screenshot because I'm signed out). |
H: Are there any websites providing movies recommendations based on your ratings?
You rate films you've watched and get recommendations on new movies based on other people rates.
AI: You can try TasteKid or Jinni.
EDIT: Lifehacker has just posted a top 5 movie recommendation services. |
H: Lastpass login information on multiple browsers
I use Lastpass on two different browsers (Mozilla and Google Chrome) with two different ID's on each browser. I don't use the Firefox ID on Chrome and vice versa. But today something strange happened. After using Firefox and logging into Lastpass, my Firefox ID was automatically filled in Chrome. How is this possible?
AFAIK, Chrome cannot read anything that is stored by Firefox extensions or cannot read Firefox cookies. So is Lastpass really connecting my IP address with my login ID?
From this answer it looks like there is a ~/.lastpass directory which is used by the Firefox extension. So it looks like the Chrome extension is reading data from it. Is that possible? I'm on Linux.
EDIT: From this answer on the Chrome discussion forums it seems very clear that Chrome extensions cannot read any external file, and can only access its local storage. I'm intrigued more now.
AI: There's a setting in LastPass preferences called "Share login state between other browsers". It's located in the advanced section (list on the left). Uncheck it & save the settings. |
H: How can I refer to two different columns in a COUNTIF function?
I'll try my best to explain. Say I've got a sheet that looks like this (in this contrived example, let's say I'm sending marketing emails to various people, I know their ages and zip codes, and I want to track click rates in those emails):
A | B | C
1 Age | zip code | click?
2 26 | 11111 | true
3 27 | 11112 | true
4 28 | 11111 | false
5 27 | 22222 | false
6 28 | 11112 | false
7 26 | 22222 | true
Now I want to track various stats. In this case, I want to track the click rate by age and by zip code. So I've got a table like this:
E F G
1 Age | # sent | # clicked
2 26 |
3 26 |
4 27 |
5 28 |
So basically in the "# sent" column, I can put (in F2, for example):
=COUNTIF(A:A, E2)
And this would result in a 2 in cell F2, because there were two occurrences of "26" in column A.
But now what if I want to know how many clicked? I want to say something like:
=COUNTIF(A:A == E2 AND C:C == True, for the same row where A:A matched E2)
I know I can add another column D with a formula like
=IF(C2, A2, "")
Which will only but the age in column D if column C is true. But I can have potentially many criteria and it doesn't seem like I should have to add another "fake" column for each criteria column I have.
Is there a way to do this? If not in Google Docs, in Excel?
AI: Use a combination of the ARRAYFORMULA, SUM and arithmetic operations
Use the approach provided in barry houdini's answer. To count all of the clicks by a 26 year old:
=ARRAYFORMULA(sum((A:A=26) * (C:C="true")))
There are 3 parts to this operation.
The ARRAYFORMULA takes care of looping over the specified range
The SUM manages counting all of the true results
Essentially, true is being converted to 1 and false is being converted to 0. Boolean logic is done by using arithmetic operations.
An AND operation uses multiplication:
(1 * 1) = 1 - (True && True) = True
(1 * 0) = 0 - (True && False) = False
(0 * 0) = 0 - (False && False) = False
An OR operation uses a combination of the *SIGN function and addition:
sign(1 + 1) = 1 - (True || True) = True
sign(1 + 0) = 1 - (True || False) = True
sign(0 + 0) = 0 - (False || False) = False
Note: The sign function is necessary because of the way boolean addition works differently than arithmetic addition. Basically in boolean addition 1 + 1 = 1, in arithmetic addition 1 + 1 = 2. Obviously, arithmetic addition will mess up the count so you need to run the results of the addition operations through a sign function. The sign function returns 1 if the value is positive, 0 if the value is 0, and -1 if the value is negative.
Lets say you wanted to count the clicks for all users between age 20-25:
=ARRAYFORMULA(sum(sign((A:A=20) + (A:A=21) + (A:A=22) + (A:A=23) + (A:A=24) + (A:A=25)) * (C:C="true"))) |
H: How to play YouTube videos faster without affecting the audio pitch in a similar manner to VLC?
VLC has a nice feature which allows to play videos faster/slower without affecting the audio pitch. Can this be somehow achieved for YouTube videos as well?
AI: You can change the speed of the video if you are in the HTML5 beta program. I am not sure about the audio pitch.
For example, here is a non-scientific (opinionated) breakdown of the video
Outland Series Trailer | Premieres Wednesday, 8 February 2012, 9:30pm | ABC1
At 2x speed: There sounds like there is a bit of pitch change but I cannot tell for sure based on the accents.
At 1.5x speed: No audible change of pitch (at least to me)
At 1/2x speed: The voices don't seem to drop to the lower pitch you would expect
At 1/4x speed: The audio drops completely |
H: Fill value in multiple cells in Google Sheets
In MS Excel, after selecting a range of cells it is possible to enter a value and press CTRL+ENTER to have that value set in all selected cells.
Is there a keystroke in Google Spreadsheets that would achieve the same result?
Note: I know about the drag the cell's corner feature; I'm interested in doing this using only the keyboard.
Right now the closest to this I've got is:
enter value in one cell
CTRL+C;
select range of cells;
CTRL+V.
but I'd be a lot happier if it's possible to do this in fewer steps.
AI: This should be possible see: Keyboard shortcuts for Google spreadsheets.
Are you using a Mac?
The workflow is as follows
Enter the value in one of the cells
Select your range with your cursor by grabbing from the first cell and dragging (no need to hold the blue cross in the corner, but the range should be highlighted when you are finished)
Type CTRL+Enter (windows) CMD+Enter (Mac)
This fills the selected range with the value.
The only other option would be to use Array formulas
When you press Ctrl+Shift+Enter while editing a formula, you'll automatically get =ArrayFormula( added to your formula.
Consider saving the official shortcuts for Google Spreadsheet as a bookmark on your browser. |
H: Can I make Gmail use the nickname as the primary method of autocompleting contacts?
Is it possible to make Gmail use the "Nickname" field as the first choice for autocompleting a contact when writing an email? And, if possible, also for ordering them in contacts?
I don't know what was intended with the "Nickname" entry, but while I put people's full name in the "Name" field (obviously), I use "Nickname" for what I usually call them. So for example, I might have "Michael" in the "Name" field, but "Mike" in the "Nickname" Field.
This also relates to friends of mine whose real names are in different languages with different characters and whatnot, but I think the point is made.
Can "Nickname" take priority, and if it is not found, then default to the "Name" field?
AI: It doesn't seem (according to how Google has it) nickname has much use outside of the Contacts page. It's just an extra bit of fluff to the contact information currently. There have been many cases of users complaining of change from within the name field itself to a separate entity called nickname.
Your best option (while not great by any means) currently would be to add the nickname to the end of the name in Contacts.
e.g. John Doe (sandman) or John Doe "sandman" or John 'sandman' Doe
Of course you risk the user seeing this but if it's their known nickname I think it would not bother them.
You can also consider suggesting it as a feature

H: Why isn't Gmail showing the name instead of the email addresses of a known contact?
I can't help but think this has probably been asked before, but I did do a search and didn't see an answer that addressed my issue.
I have at least one friend, who whenever she sends me an email, in the column that shows the name of the sender, as well as anywhere else that the sender name is displayed, her email address is displayed instead of her name.
I have her on my contact list, I have all her email addresses stored, and we email frequently.
I have cleared out the "Other" category of my contacts list to ensure there isn't an overlapping entry for her, as well as confirm there are no duplicates in any other category of contacts.
This is definitely happening with this one person, and I think it might be happening with others.
In any case, what do I do to force Gmail do display a contact name instead of the email address?
AI: It could be that your friend does not have her email account setup with the name field as I had a similar problem when working with an Organization that did not fill out their information within their email client.
Check the original (selecting the drop down menu where you can reply to a message or report) and see what comes up in the From: field. The RFC has conventions for sending the From header and her email client may not be executing properly.
The RFC calls it a mailbox
Normally, a mailbox is comprised of two parts: (1) an optional display name that indicates the name of the recipient (which could be a person or a system) that could be displayed to the user of a mail application, and (2) an addr-spec address enclosed in angle brackets ("<" and ">").
Of course all of this is on the assumption that she is not using Gmail
Check the user card that shows up when hovering over the email address, select the "More" drop down and go to "Contact Details" if the contact is a duplicate of the one you have saved, delete it. |
H: Why can't I see my friends posts in this Facebook list?
I have a list on Facebook with friends in it. it says 4 new posts when I log-in but when I click on it it says "There are no posts to show" (but in Swedish). What can I do about this?
On other lists I just see some posts. Why is Facebook only showing me "some" posts?
The only reason I have the lists is so I can choose when to read there posts.
Here's an example of the "bug" I have.
Sorry for the swedish. (oops) In the bottom line it says "There are no more posts to show right now"
Vipan is the list of some schoolmates.
AI: It could be a bug and you just need to send a screenshot and report it.
On the other hand it could be that you reviewed these posts in the news feed (at least this is how it appeared to me when this situation occurred)
I just added some friends to a new list to see if I can replicate again. I will let you know how it goes in a few days. |
H: Google Maps search shows second business at same address
I have a friend with two businesses at the same physical address.
http://alliancebjjmn.com/
and
http://crossfitmn.com/
He used to use the same website for both businesses, but now they are separate. The issue that arose is when you search for Crossfit in the Minneapolis area, his jiu-jitsu school shows up the in search results, instead of the, as seen here (item B): http://g.co/maps/8g3au.
This seems to be an issue with how Google returns results for searches.
How can he make sure the CrossFit studio shows up when crossfit is searched, and the jiu-jitsu school shows up for jiu-jitsu?
AI: Select the arrow next to the place in the listings on the right.
Choose "Report a problem"
Select "Listing contains incorrect information or spam."
Select "Category" from the dropdown and enter relevant information about the miscategorization
The last time I reported a location error it took about a month but it was resolved. |
H: How frequently is upvoting YouTube comments allowed?
Is it a one time thing or what?
AI: If there is a limit, I don't think it's publicly available. There does seem to be some sort of delay going on after a while after voting frequently then seeing whether the up-vote count on the most up-voted answer for a few videos changes.
As compared to Stack Exchange limit of 5 seconds there does seem to be as harsh limit (if any limit even exists). |
H: How to load a YouTube playlist?
When I search for something on YouTube, and there's a playlist among the search results, I click that list, and it's "loaded" (that is, there's the playlist bar at the bottom of the window, where I can manage the videos; the videos will play one by one automatically; and the rest of the page looks according to the default YouTube theme). This is exactly what I want.
Now, if I specifically go to some person's channel, click Playlists, and click the playlist I want, how do I "load" that playlist in the same manner? It just won't load, it will keep me on the person's channel page (looks of which I might hate), and the videos from the playlist will just sit there, in the column to the right, and won't automatically play one by one.
Currently my workaround is:
Go to the channel.
Find the playlist I want.
Copy the name of the playlist into the search box. Search.
Find the playlist in the search results and click it. Voila, it's "loaded."
I hate doing that every time.
How do I load (in the described way) a playlist I manually selected at someone's channel?
AI: Your method maybe easier than what I am about to tell you but for some reason I can remember this URL.
Go to their channel
Select "Playlist" on their channel (the tob tabs) you should see the url end (or near the end) with a long list of alphanumeric characters
Paste this right before that set of characters http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL
This will bring you to the playlist page. You can now select play all or play any of the videos
For example on Skillrex channel we have this playlist
More Monsters & Sprites EP
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOfficialSkrillex#p/c/1B5CF096FA99B653
and switching out for the PL url

H: Remove Facebook "friends" from Yahoo contacts
A long time ago, I "linked" my Facebook account to my Yahoo mail account.
This resulted in all of my Facebook "friends" being added to my Yahoo contacts list.
Ordinarily, I guess this wouldn't be a problem, except when signing into Yahoo Messenger from my phone, in which case all of these people appear in my "contacts" list - and since I scarcely know most of them - they all appear in the contacts list as "offline", which is something of an irritation.
So, what do I need to do in Yahoo mail to remove all traces of my Facebook acount?
AI: It is possible to remove the binding to these services at any time.
Resolution
To disconnect your Google or Facebook account from Yahoo!:
Sign in to the Yahoo! Account Information Page
On the sign in form, click Sign in with Google or Sign in with Facebook
Enter your Google or Facebook login information
Click Manage Other Accounts to Sign-in
Click Remove next to the Google or Facebook icon. A pop-up dialog box will open prompting you to confirm the action
When finished, click Sign-out at the top of the page
From this Yahoo help page.
Deleting the Facebook contacts from Yahoo is the same as for any other contact.
Deleting Facebook contacts is the same as deleting any contact. There are no special measures that must be taken simply because the contact was imported from Facebook.

H: Is there a way to create a doc directly inside a collection?
For the life of me, I wasn't able to figure out how to create a doc inside a Collection.
When I click the Create button, the document is always created at the root level, and I have to find the collection again and drag it to it.
Is there a way to create the doc inside the collection?
AI: Use the down-arrow menu next to the collection. Choose "Create" and then choose the document type. |
H: Is there a way of blocking some Facebook app permissions?
Is it possible to add a Facebook application but deny it one or some of the permissions it asks for, such as posting on your wall/timeline?
AI: Yes, it is possible but not via Facebook UI.
You can use one of these Google Chrome extensions
fPrivacy
FBSecure
Note that blocking some of the application permissions may result in the application losing some of its main functionality. |
H: Location of Manage Google Apps organization users option and menu
Where do I find the option or menu to manage users in my Google Apps organization?
I can't find it, looked everywhere in the Gmail site options. I found "Manage this domain" menu, but it only shows me my end user options and no sign of the Admin console to add/edit my custom Google Apps domain users.
Am I blind? Can someone point me in the right direction?
AI: I found this in the help documents: Turn services on/off for certain users
Log in to the Google Apps administrator control panel.
The URL is https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/primary-domain-name, where primary-domain-name is the domain name you used to sign up for Google Apps.
My problem is that I have two differnt domains associated with my account and I have to go though the original one |
H: Trello invitations for Organizations
If I make a member an admin of an organization will this allow that member to invite other members as well? Is this possible?
AI: Anyone who is an admin of an organisation can invite other people so long as they're still an admin.
Adding
You can create a new organization through your accounts page, with the "Start an Organization" button at the bottom.
To add members to an organization, first go to the organization profile. You can get to the organization profile from the link in your board page or the link next to the title of a board. Then click "Members" in the sidebar. In the input field, enter an email address to invite or search for a current member. NOTE: You must be an admin of an organization to add members.
So after you've created the organisation, you can create your own Avon club of admins inviting new users to the group on the greater organisation's behalf. |
H: How to use ifttt to post Google+ updates to Facebook?
I found this recipe, but it doesn't work.
I put in either https://plus.google.com/103156295300828440975 or http://plu.sr/feed.php?plusr=103156295300828440975, but I keep getting an error
Trigger field Not a valid feed url, missing feed title
AI: It isn't working because the http://plu.sr site is down.
Try using a different Google+ RSS Feed provider such as http://googleplusrss.nodester.com
You just add you Google+ ID to the end of the URL - like this > http://googleplusrss.nodester.com/103156295300828440975 |
H: I changed my Hotmail password on the web site and I cannot login from my mobile clients
I changed my Hotmail password from the hotmail.com web site. I have a few mobile clients that use Exchange protocols to access Hotmail. When I updated my mobile clients to the new password, they could not log in and told me invalid username password. I retyped the password carefully multiple times. I tried the POP3 protocol instead of Exchange. Nothing worked.
AI: I figured this out, but I wanted to post this here so others can learn. I could not find a good FAQ or help page to explain this.
I changed my password using the Hotmail.com web site last night. For good security, I selected a long password of 19 characters. Logging in from the web worked fine, but when I tried to update my password on my mobile devices I got invalid password error. I tried Exchange protocols and Pop3 protocols and the Microsoft Android Hotmail application. None worked with the new password.
I found a few articles today that described similar problems. These included
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&p=9909971
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=38c1a2b978455098&hl=en
In these forums people mentioned that Pop3/Exchange access to Hotmail may require shorter passwords than web access. I changed my password to a 12 character string and then I was able to successfully log in from my mobile devices.
So, be careful of your password length on Hotmail if you use Pop3 or Exchange to access your email. |

H: Why does GMail still process incoming emails after I've deleted a filter?
I've a problem with Gmail.
Long time ago, I created a filter for incoming e-mails with a specific address, and gave them a specific label. A few weeks ago, I've deleted the filter and my filter-list is completely empty.
But incoming emails gets still the label from my old filter.
What can I do? There is no filter to delete, and Gmail labels the emails itself.
AI: Under "Account and Imports" tab in the settings you can setup mail forwarding. I believe this will automatically label it with the email address as long as that is setup. I suggest logging into that email you want to forward things from and go into it's options and having all emails forwarded to your account. You can then remove the forwarding in Google and they should not be labelled any more.
Otherwise you will have to deal with it being labelled.
In case that sounds confusing:
Basically setup forwarding from the email you want to forward from instead of setting it up through "Accounts and Imports". |
H: Embedding stop time in a YouTube video link
We all know that we can embed a start time in a YouTube video URL (by adding something like &t=1m45s to the end).
But is there a way to embed both start and stop time? Like linking only a part of the video...
AI: According to the official YouTube Embedded Player Parameters page, start time and end time are both now possible. |
H: Customising Google search
When I search for something with Google, I often get a comment that goes something like
Whoa, your search query is too interesting; showing results that other users searched for instead.
(slightly paraphrased), with a link I can click on to show the results for my original query.
So my question is, is there a trick in Google's preferences, or using a command line parameter or something, that I can use to show my own search results immediately, skipping the stupid comment?
Note I don't mind Google asking me "Did you mean to search for (something else)" if it thinks I made a typo. This is about showing me results it knows I didn't ask for!
AI: Just wrap your query in double quote, that'll show you the results of the exact term you're searching for.
So if you're trying to search one_two, you search for "one_two". that's all.
Update:

H: If Craigslist can't verify my phone number, does that mean I can't post an ad?
I've been trying to post an ad on CL, but I keep getting Your phone number could not be verified. Please start over with another number errors.
I've tried with three different numbers, using free email and non-free email addresses, and using different IP blocks.
Customer service has not responded to my inquiries.
Does this pretty much mean I can't post an ad on Craigslist?
AI: I found the following allowed me to successfully create an ad:
Before doing anything, sign up for a new account using a non-free email.
That's it. |
H: Why does the internet think I'm French?
Whenever I visit a new site, mostly social network or 'shop' sites, the page defaults to the French language, despite my IP being English. This also occurs when I'm on different computers, and when my cookies get wiped. I'm using Chrome.
Sites that I've mistaken me for being French so far:
Facebook
Twitter
Android market
Steam
I can't think of any others. It's often not an issue as I can change the language, but that takes time to find and change. I don't see why the internet would think I speak French, rather than English (which it should be able to pick up from my browser settings...?).
So why does the internet think I'm french?
AI: Go to Settings -> Under the Hood -> Web Content -> Languages and spell-checker settings and make sure the first language in the list is English (or English (United States)).
If you don't have it in the list, click Add to add it.
Webpage language preferences help Google Chrome determine the language it should use to display a webpage. To adjust your preferences, first click Languages and spell-checker settings to open the "Language and Input" dialog. Add or remove languages from the list, and drag to order them based on your preference.
From the Google help page on how to Adjust fonts, languages, and encodings (under Webpage language preferences). |
H: Synchronize bookmarks between PC browser and Android phone?
How can I synchronize bookmarks between PC browser and Android phone? If I find a URL I bookmark in my PC computer, how can I add it to the list of bookmarks in my Android devices?
AI: You can set up a sync between Google Chrome and you Android Device.
You can Google for it or see this link |
H: Gmail/Google no longer has an "All Contacts" list?
Today I noticed that Gmail nor Google Contacts offers a way to list "All Contacts" any longer; my contacts are now split between the groups I made and "Other Contacts".
Is there any way to list all my contacts in one place that I'm not aware of?
Although "Basic HTML" still has the All Contacts list, it doesn't offer any means to merge/organize the contacts.
AI: Click on My contacts to see all of your contacts at once.
GMail link: http://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#contacts
Google Contacts link: http://www.google.com/contacts_v2/u/0/#contacts
Other Contacts still contain the auto-created records of people with whom you exchanged only a few messages and they have never been included in All Contacts. |
H: In Facebook, is there any way to update an existing photo post?
I uploaded a picture and posted it on my wall but I realized that I uploaded the wrong copy of the picture. Is there anyway I can "update" the picture in that post without actually have it show up as a completely new post?
I want to keep all of the comments, etc links to the photo. Is this possible?
AI: No. You can't "replace" a picture in Facebook. You'll have to delete the wrong one and upload the correct one. |
H: Download YouTube videos when they are split
Recently, some YouTube videos are downloaded part by part (2 MB) to the browser and played. So, I am unable to download such videos directly within my browser using Addons.
Are there any alternative ways to download the whole video within the browser?
AI: I can see that you are using FlashGot addon for Firefox. FlashGot determines the direct link to the video and makes it available for download as soon as you start viewing a YouTube video; and each time you step to a different point inside a video, FlashGot creates another link for that split part. Your best bet would be to use the first link FlashGot provides.
If you are still looking for alternatives to FlashGot, see the answers to this question. |
H: Go directly to inbox when logging into Yahoo! Mail instead of the "What's new" page
Where can I set up my Yahoo! Mail to automatically take me to my inbox instead of displaying the page that lists all the new items on the "What's New" page?
I want to disable that landing and arrive at the Inbox after sign-in. I get news from the United States and that doesn't interest me.
AI: Go to Options → Mail Options.
Under Behavior, check the Inbox: Show on startup box. |
H: What are all the formatting options for a Google+ post?
What is the markup language for creating posts (and responding to posts)?
I know of the following ones:
To make text bold, use stars around the text: *bold text*
To make text italics, use underscores: _italic text_
What else is there? Is there any way to insert bullet-lists? What about larger font sizes, etc?
Google+ is starting to become a blog of sorts, and having a fully featured markup language makes it very helpful for formulating useful and lengthy posts.
If no other native markups exist, is there any way to insert HTML? Ultimately, what are the various freedoms we have in making and replying to posts to markup the text?
AI: Unfortunately the markup for Google+ (and Google Talk by extension) is fairly limited.
You're missing:
-item- for strikethrough
@name or +name to tag someone.
Drag and drop
Add photos, videos, or links to your posts by dragging them directly to the share box. To add a link, drag the icon next to the URL from the address bar to the share box.
Add style
Use underscores to italicize. _ italics_ → italics
Use asterisks to bold. * bold* → bold
Use hyphens to strikethrough. - strikethrough - → strikethrough
Compound formatting: *_ bold italic_* → bold italics (make sure the nesting mirrors on each end)
Mention your friends
Use + or @ to add someone to the conversation and link to their profile. +Natalie Villalobos or @Natalie Villalobos → +Natalie Villalobos learn more about mentioning people in posts.
Post from the +1 button
When you click the +1 button across the web, you'll have the opportunity to create a post with a link to the page you +1'd. Learn more about the +1 button.
Share box chip colors
In the sharebox, groups of people you share with appear as either a blue or green "chip", like "public" or "extended circles". When a chip is blue it means that you've selected the people with whom that content is being shared. For instance, your Family circle is blue because you decide who you place in that circle. When a chip is green, it means that it may contain people you haven't added to your circles. Your extended circles, for instance, appear as a green chip because some of these people likely aren't in your circles.

H: Best way to use Orgs in Trello
I have been given the go ahead to test Trello for our company (Squeee!). I use Trello quite a bit personally but have never touched the Org Feature. What I would like to know is, should I create one organisation called "Company" or should I create many orgs on a per team basis, eg ("Company Core Team")
Is it better for access control to have more of the latter than the former?
AI: Using multiple organisation means you will be separating members between organizations. Sounds like it will get messy trying to assign owners while at the same time not double-counting across organizations.
Using one organization and different boards based on projects instead of teams could be an approach to use. If there is a case in which one team always ends up doing the same types of projects then they are naturally assigned to it. Otherwise, where there is a manager that oversee more than one project/team, you will be able to add to multiple boards.
The moment you know that there will be a large amount of crossover between teams should indicate when you should use one organisation.
In terms of whether too many boards will fill the main organization area, you can use the "Visibility: Who can see the board" to adjust that. Thus team members only see what projects they are a part of. |
H: How to manage labels in Gmail with keyboard?
At work we use Google Apps. I like to assign mails that are important to my work with todo and after I did them with done. I am pondering a way to do this efficiently and preferably without the usage of a mouse. Right now I have a label system like:
!Work > Todo >
!Work > Todo > Done
Yet here the problem is that I will also see the done-mails when I am looking for some I want to do next. Also I find myself dragging and dropping labels onto the mails, which I find tiresome.
Is there a way to use the keyboard instead?
AI: First turn on keyboard shortcuts:
To turn these case-sensitive shortcuts on or off, click the gear icon
at the top of any Gmail page and then Mail settings. Choose the option
next to "Keyboard shortcuts" to turn them on. You can also enable
shortcutsautomatically by going to http://mail.google.com/mail/?kbd=1
After selecting an email use L, it opens the labels menu to label a conversation.
Type the label you want.
Another cool step is to:
open up the todo label,
then use the L shortcut key to add the done label,
then use the Y shortcut key to remove the todo label.
The result is that it will only be under the done label. |
H: Is there a difference between a formal logout and shutting down the browser?
Sometimes I log out of a web page or app by clicking on a specific "logout" link. Other times I may be in a rush so I just close the browser. Is there a benefit to formally logging out? Is shutting down the browser less secure?
AI: There's too much variation in how web apps implement user authentication to answer this. Some will delete the cookies they've created; some will destroy the "session" variables that are associated with your account and your current browsing...session; others will just redirect you to a login page.
When I build web apps with user authentication, the user is generally associated with a session cookie, i.e., a cookie that isn't written to disk but which goes away when the browser is closed. So, in this case, clicking a "logout" link and closing the browser does essentially the same thing.
That said, it's possible on some web apps that your login is associated with a persistent cookie, or your IP address, or whatever, and just closing the browser won't log you out. In such a case it's conceivable that someone could come along after you, re-open the browser, and be logged in as you.
All that said, I'd say that it's good practice to log out of a web app, but if you forget it's not really a big deal. |
H: How to share many documents at once in Google Docs
I want to share an entire collection or many docs at once instead of manually adding a user at a time for every document now that my manager switched to a new Google account. Can it be done? If yes, how?
AI: To share many documents at once, select the documents in your Google Docs list, press the 'Share' button (or right-click and select 'Share') and add the people you want to share with. |
H: Can I get Trello for internal use?
My company's going to want to bring Trello internal if we want to use it for confidential data. Can you bring Trello internal, by running the software on our own server?
AI: As stated by Rich Armstrong, Director of Customer Operations
there are no plans to offer a self-hosted version in the future.
As described in their privacy section
Access to your data is tightly controlled internally. Unless we hear
different from you, we will only be able to access and view the
information you make public. We do run anonymous usage profiling over
our database, but no one can inspect your data without your say-so.
This line does not say how well they will handle confidential data but that is a risk you are going to have evaluate based on the critical nature of your data. |
H: How can I get gmail to stop asking me this question on recovery email address being correct?
For the last few days, I am now suddenly getting the following alert in yellow at the top of my GMail session:
Hey, this is important: If you ever lose access to your account, we can send
password reset info to [email protected]. This address is correct | Update this address
I have clicked This address is correct multiple times but the message keeps returning and I tried Update this address, but I cannot update to the same address as it says there is no change.
How can I make this annoying message go away? Is this an issue with cookies? I am running Firefox v9.0.1.
AI: Try clearing your Cache and Cookie. There has been similar questions on Google forum, and the same was suggested. and a top-contributor also added that it might be a Gmail bug affecting few number of users. |
H: How to access previous versions of a Google Docs document
We are working simultaneously on some text document using google docs. After one week we need to check some changes so just tried "revision history" (which worked at the beginning) but now it does not work. We tried different browsers and operating systems but it crashes.
I would be happy if at least I could get the last version and some other one, so using another "diff" tool I could check the changes. But right now I do not know how to access a previous version. Is it there any way to do this?
AI: Open any document
Select File > See revision history. |
H: Prevent Trello board members from deleting a card
Is it possible to prevent board members from deleting a card in Trello?
I have a board where access is restricted to members only, and as the board owner, I've created a card, but I've found other members can delete the card.
This is bad news, as the card disappears completely, and even deletes the related events from the activity log. Is there any way of restricting the delete function?
AI: No, there currently is no way to do this. Permissions is something we may add later and I assume that it would be covered by that, but we don't have any time frame on when that might happen (and we might also charge for features like that). |
H: Facebook friend status update notification
Since Facebook allowed users to "subscribe" to other users, I receive a notification when certain friends update his or her status. I've checked the subscription settings of these friends, and I don't see anything different than those of non-notification friends. Does anyone know how to turn this feature on/off per friend?
AI: If they are on your "Close Friends" list then by default you will be notified whenever they post. To turn that off, click on "Close Friends" in the left sidebar (if it is not there then click "More" next to "Lists" and then click "Close Friends"). Then click on "Notifications" at the top and choose "Off". Of course you could also remove the person from your "Close Friends" list.
Groups are the same way. If you do not want to receive notifications for posts to the group, click on the group name, then Notifications at the top of the page and choose "Off". |
H: How can I add a public message on my Facebook account for people who want to add me as a friend?
I'm under 18, so Facebook "protects" my information, and no one can see my "About me" unless they already have me as a friend. A lot of developers are adding me as a friend because of a contest I recently competed in. However, I want to redirect all of the developers that I do not know to my LinkedIn profile. Is there a way to add a public link to my public Facebook profile?
AI: There is no way around Facebook's security features for minors. You can modify your Timeline Cover or profile picture but those changes will be visible to everyone.
However, none of this matters because people will still add you as friends - they'll just look over it. Thus, simply reply to them privately explaining that you would like to keep Facebook for personal contacts only & connect with them professionally on LinkedIn. |
H: Insert a table in Gmail
How can I create a table in a Gmail message? I've currently got the data in a Google Docs spreadsheet, but copying and pasting that into the Gmail editor just pastes tab-delimited columns, not a table. I've tried it in both the plain text and rich text editors.
AI: Update
A few years later now, and Google Inbox will let you paste a table directly from Google Sheets or LibreOffice. I assume it also works from Microsoft Office.
Original Answer
This Digital Inspiration blog post helped me out. Basically, you can copy content from any web page and paste it into the Gmail rich text editor. The editor will do its best to keep the formatting.
In my case, that meant that I had to do the following:
Publish the spreadsheet to the web, but just publish the sheet with the data I wanted to copy;
Get the link for the published sheet. If you don't want the whole sheet, you can specify the cells you want using the standard A1:C30 format;
Open a new tab and paste the link;
Select the whole table by typing Ctrl + A, and then copy it by typing Ctrl + C. I found that the pasting didn't work at all unless I copied the whole table;
Go back to Gmail, make sure you're in the rich text editor, and make sure there are blank lines above and below your cursor;
Type Ctrl + V to paste in the table. |
H: Hiding On Card Status Activity But Not Comments in Trello
Currently each card I have has the activity relating to the card on it. As I have the stream on the left I don't need this. Is there any way to disable this without also hiding comments?
AI: There is not currently a way to do this, no. |
H: Adding one column to a string to dynamically create a URL in the next column
I have a spreadsheet of product ID codes that I'd like to turn into links, and from everything I've read, the concat or concatenate functions in Google Sheets should work for that, but so far everything I try results in an error.
What I want to get:
Brand Product Code URL
AP X527W http://example.com/search.php?Code=X527W
AP X522M http://example.com/search.php?Code=X527W
AP Y500M http://example.com/search.php?Code=X527W
What actually happens, when I use the formula:
=concat('http://example.com/search.php?Code=', B2)
or =concatenate('http://example.com/search.php?Code=', B2)
or ='http://example.com/search.php?Code=' & B2
is #Error.
So how do I concatenate strings in Google Sheets?
AI: Always enclose string literals in double quotation marks.
= "http://example.com/search.php?Code=" & B2 |
H: Is there a way to CC a copy of an email which is already sent?
I've sent an email to [email protected] and I would like to CC the email to [email protected].
However, I've forgotten to CC a copy to [email protected]. If I resend another email to [email protected] and CC it to [email protected], [email protected] would have received two emails from me.
Is there a way to CC a copy of an email which is already sent?
AI: There is no way to do it. The first email you sent out will never know about the 2nd email. Even if there is a way to recall the first email, recalled emails never work flawlessly.
The only option: think of something new to add to the chain, then forward it to both A and B. It could be as simple as saying that you are adding B to the CC line. Using forward makes sure the newest email has any attachments that were on the first email. |
H: Reply to Mailman archived message
I was having a problem with the GNU Debugger (GDB) and while the issue appears to be recurring, I found only one instance of someone recently experiencing the same problem. I found this other instance on a Mailman archived mailing list.
Then I tried some more things and finally solved the issue with GDB. So, now I want to report back the solution I found to the mailing list. However, this is really only of use if Mailman recognizes my mail as being the same thread as the original problem, but I do not have that mail (just the online archived version of it) so I cannot reply to it.
How can I make sure Mailman considers my mail as a reply to that thread?
Is simply copying the topic enough?
AI: For one thing, even if you do reply to that old message, Mailman will still show your email in the month it was sent. So it's probably not worth the hassle to try replying to a message you don't have. Just send a new email out to the mailing list with your solution (assuming it is topically relevant).
However, for educational purposes: copying the subject won't be enough, because not every message on a mailing list can be expected to have a unique subject. The standard way to indicate that you're replying to a message is through the email header In-Reply-To. The value of that header is taken from the Message-ID header of the message you're replying to. Normally this is done automatically by your email client, but if you use a program that allows you to set custom header fields, you should be able to do it manually. If you go to the list archives of the mailing list in question and click on the "Gzip'd text" link for the month in question, you should get a gzipped text file that includes the Message-ID headers for each email sent that month. Copy the value of the header from the message you're trying to reply to, and add a custom In-Reply-To header with that value to the message you're sending. For instance, if you see
Message-ID: [email protected]
in the message you're replying to in the downloaded text file, you should add the custom header
In-Reply-To: [email protected]
to the message you're sending, and your message will then be considered a reply to the old message. |
H: Facebook login notification approval?
Apparently my Facebook login notification emails me if someone has logged-in to my account, without any approval link/code in the email they send me.
Is that really the way it's supposed to work?
Because if it is, then I think it's quite useless since the unauthorized user already gained access anyway.
Or, does it have an approval link/code that I am missing?
AI: The email messages you are talking about are sent as login notifications and it really is how they're supposed to work. It is a separate feature from login approvals, which require to enter a code received by SMS. |
H: Where is the "download" button on Google Takeout?
I tried to download some of the stuff from Google Takeout, but after creating the archive, I don't see any download button. The following is a screen shot of the browser window.
AI: It should appear below the progress bar, to the right, after the archive is created.
Apparently, it doesn't show if the archive is empty. I get the same result for +1s. |
H: Lock a thread in Disqus or close site for comments
Is there any way to lock a thread for comments or to lock down comments on a whole site on Disqus?
AI: Go to your Disqus Admin panel
Find the comment from the thread you want to close.
Click anywhere on the comment to expand it.
Hover the mouse over the Find... button and list menu will appear where the last option is All comments from this thread, click it.
In the new page, there will be the Close button in the right sidebar. |
H: Old tags on my Tumblr have stopped working. Can I fix them?
I have a comic book Tumblr where I track every comic book I read (sidenote: I know this is useless, it's Tumblr). I keep track of the comics with tags (series title, publication year, writer, artist and publisher). I've noticed that some of the oldest tags on my Tumblr have stopped working even though they still appear on the post. For example, when I click on "X-Force"...
...it tells me the URL I requested could not be found.
I guess there's a limit to the amount of tags Tumblr can remember? Is there anyway to free up tag space (like deleting typo tags)? Is there any way to get these tags to work again?
UPDATE: In trying to find a pattern between which tags do and don't work. Here are the first tags I ever used (back on 1-1-10):
Uncanny X-Men (used approx. 55 times; does NOT work)
2010 (used 477 times, still works)
Matt Fraction (used 72 times, still works)
Terry Dodson (used 14 times, still works)
So it doesn't seem to have to do with how many entries are in the tag. I think it might have to do with the hyphen in the titles of some comics (Uncanny X-Men and X-Force do not work). Is that it? These used to work, I swear (I would not have continued to use tags with hyphens if they did not work).
AI: It appears that tags with hyphens have been dashed.
Looks like Tumblr pulled support for tags with hyphens (-) as far back as December 2011. If you email them you'll get something along the following:
Tumblr is no longer supporting tags with hyphens. This change has been made to ensure consistency in tags and tag searches.
We are aware that this change is breaking tag filter links in some cases. You may have to remove hyphens from your tags in order for your tag filter links to work.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
From the testing others have done it looks like they've made the switch in order to allow searching to favour tags with a space in them. |
H: How do you create a public board where members cannot edit, delete or add cards, only admins can?
I am creating a list for a non-profit that I want the public/members (volunteers who want to help) to be able to see, vote and comment, but I don't want them to be able to edit/delete cards/add or lists.
How would I go about doing that?
I'm thinking that something like if only admins could use those functions (add/delete/edit) and board/organization members couldn't?
Do I just need to add them to the organization but not the board?
But if I do that will the board still be visible to the public?
You can take a look at the board I am talking about @ http://www.trello.com/offer.
AI: Only members of the board can edit/delete cards/add or lists. No need to add them to the organization. Your settings should be as follows:
Visibility: Public
Voting: Public
Comments: Public
Adding Members Permissions: Admins
Allow organization members to add themselves to this board: Disabled |
H: Search for a comment on Facebook?
How do you search for a friend's (or your own) comment on a wall post from months ago on Facebook?
AI: Currently the only way seems to be browse and manually search via the Friend's connection

H: Google Chrome Crashes Every-time I close a tab with a YouTube video open
Lately I have been having an issue. Whenever I close a open tab in Google Chrome which has a YouTube video open in it, it crashes. The browser just freezes and then a window pops up saying Google Chrome has stopped responding.
I've heard that sometimes adobe flash player can mess things up so I tried uninstalling it but that didn't fix it. This only started happening a few days ago and I didn't change anything except now I tried using the beta version of Google Chrome to see if it was fixed.
General info:
Windows 7 64 Bit
Latest Google Chrome Beta Version.
If anyone knows the issue your help would be greatly appreciated. (caches and history was cleared already tried it)
AI: Okay I have done some research and found that this is a known issue and the Google team was able to reproduce the issue and is working on a fix. See Help Forum Article.
In case you don't want to wait for the fix to be implemented into the normal Google Chrome Build you can try Google Canary. Fixed it for me! Google Canary operates as a secondary browser, so you can have Google Chrome and Google Canary both installed and running at the same time it will not overwrite the old one like Google Chrome Beta does.
Edit: It's awesome to see the YouTube/Chrome team working to fix the issue! The issue has now been fixed according to another Answer they have made on the Help Forums. Crash Fixed Help Forum Link |
H: Web database replacement for Access
I'm looking for an online, multi-user solution to replacement MS Access. The current configuration that I am working with performs the following tasks, which I would like to still be able to do in an online system:
Mail merge: select names and email addresses from a table and send out emails based off of a template
Relationships between tables: Table B should be able to have a column which is a reference to a row in Table A
Custom forms: there should be a way to create forms for simple data input, instead of manually adding rows to the table
Hopefully there is a system like this that I could use.
AI: I've decided to go with Zoho Creator, which does everything I need. |
H: How do I format a cell to be in alternative currency without decimals in Google Spreadsheets
I am really scratching my head, but it seems like this is not possible in Google Spreadsheets. I want to format a number cell in kroner without any decimals. All I get is "kr 38,434.00" I want this number without any decimals. Could it really be that this is not possible.
AI: Select the cell with the number.
Click the number format button on the toolbar.
Select the decimal-less currency format. |
