Sorry!
I can’t see the new translation in zh-tw …
Like “Preview” and some in Publish dialog…
Thanks…

Please make the fixed width font in the source editor optional. Quotation marks show up as thin black line instead as quotation marks in the editor (nevertheles, they are being postest to the blog as the intended quotation marks – but they’re distracting me from efficient work).

Scheduling posts in my Blogger blog does not work.
Italian version, FF3, ScribeFire 2.3

Sorry for the nuisance.

ScribeFire is great

Daniel – I agree about the font in the source editor.

[...] I am testing the new and improved ScribeFire blogging editor and associated advertising arrangement. There really is no other reason for this post. If by some chance you want to learn more about this deal, cruise on over to Scribefire. [...]

I seem to have a problem deleting words on a Saved Note.
July 31st, 2008 at 11:19 pm
You still need to go to Source Editing to delete them, you can’t do them in Rich Editing

The fixed width font you chose is horrible. Please make it a setting. At least let me choose what font the editor uses. There is already a font selector for the post. This font looks horrible for an otherwise nice looking editor.
The functionality has been awesome for a long time and keeps getting better. Keep up the excellent work.

WP 2.6 and ScribeFire 2.3 are not playing good with each other, I am getting a “Login Error” every time I try to add my new blog …
August 7th, 2008 at 1:29 am
i still can’t upload photos through API!!!!
Error message “could not acquire authorization token from Google”
I NEED it to work… next update soon perhaps?
August 11th, 2008 at 8:55 am
I also can’t upload photos through API.
The error message “could not acquire authorization token from Google” still apears. Why?
August 14th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
I was able to get scibefire to upload images to my blogspot / blogger blog by using 0123456789ABCDEF as the API key.

It would be great if the flicker api would allow you log into your own flickr account or search for a specific account rather than having to comb through all photos in flickr to find the photo you want. Is there any way to add this feature otherwise it’s a great application.

Hiya’s,
Can’t get ScribeFire to work with Wordpress 2.6.1
Getting a login error when adding the blog..
Tried changing password, etc, no good..
Fantastico on Bluehost now automatically installs 2.6.1 instead of previous version too and Im too lazy to install the old version.. hoping that you put out an update or some instructions on how to fix.. maybe it’s a different api for Wordpress 2.6.1?
Kind Regards,
Penny
PS.. *all hail scribefire*.. I still love u.. cos I know you’ll fix this .. *hehe*

Oh cool, I wondered where my blog post went.. thank you google..
Anyways.. in answer to my own question
Just in case anyone else finds updating to Wordpress 2.6.1 and crying because Scribefire stops working hehe..
Login to your Wordpress Blog..
Go to Settings -> Writing
Tick the box that says “XML-RPC” (Enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols).
Then go back to Scribefire and re-add your blog.
*Crisis Over*

I am having the same bad password/login combination error. I tried Penny’s fix above, but it didn’t work. In my Wordpress install of 2.6.1, I already had XML/RPC checked but decided to re-add my blog to scribefire anwyay. I deleted it from SF, then re-added and when I put in my user name and password, I get back an error that says “Please Check you user name and password for errors.” I know they are right since I went to WP and changed the password and then put it into SF…. same result.
Any ideas?
thanks,
c

Hello,
I’m getting the same login problem as mentioned above – very frustrating. I’ve changed the password in WP, and am able to login via the site; but obviously I’d like to use ScribeFire.
Help,
Gareth.
