What is worse, even my grammar is off. It should read “Nothing beats …” above.

Nothing beat an unplugged version, specially when your system has been hacked or infested … am not going to reveal my age nor my occupation, only one thing: I still have a dumb, flippable phone, which probably tells the whole story.

Thanks for rolling things back and reintroducing the old PDF functionality. In addition to what Thomas W. said, here are two more reasons that I hope you always retain PDF download functionality, at least for the administrator:

1. On an iPad, there is no way to “Save as PDF” from a print dialog box, so no way to archive a snapshot of the poll if you take away the PDF download functionality.

2. On a Mac, where there *is* a way to “Save as PDF” from a print dialog box, the PDFs produced that way are uglier, the text is not as clear, and the file takes up about twice as many kilobytes.

Comment on Daylight Saving Time Explained by Mark

It gets really confusing when the time zone changes name. I was recently enrolled in a webinar from the UK and all of the sudden the time zone changed from GMT to BST.

I had no idea what was going on and what time i had to attend the webinar. Thank God for the various time zone converting websites around the web.

I agree that you should list it as PT vs PST, it’s confusing when trying to make sure I’m on the right time zone. If someone in MDT gives options for a call, and I have my time zone set as “CST”, then without reading this blog post, I assume that means Central Standard Time and I need to know CDT, so I’m wondering if they put the times in under the correct time zone. Some states don’t change at all, so I could see instances where you’d want to know both time zones. How does this work for people in Arizona?

This is a GREAT tool for saving time and reducing confusion when scheduling with a large number of people…so long as it’s not confusing itself.

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand that listening to one’s users is very important and not always easy.
I will send a problem report as you suggested.
However, printing on a PDF requires additional software that until a couple of days before was not necessary
Also, the admin tab is only available to the admin, while I want to have the PDF option even as not being the admin. Can’t you just offer it as an additional choice when printing?

Thomas, thanks you for your feedback.

A lot of users requested in-browser printing because it allows for more flexibility when printing polls, like changing the orientation, etc. However, as always with all these different browsers and system configurations, we are still working on figuring out some issues with certain browsers like yours. Can you send a detailed problem report to http://doodle.com/about/contact.html?

We also just added the printing as an additional option. You can still download the whole poll as a PDF on the admin tab. And on modern operating systems you also have the option to just print anything into a PDF to save it to your system.

Please give us back the option to get the PDF when printing!
Reasons:
- Printing directly forom the browser does not work for wide polls (e.g. 25 days). It only prints the left part omitting the right half of the poll.
- PDFs could be saved and viewed offline and printed on another PC without Internet access.

The PDF export was such a useful feature!

Thanks!

Thanks. Your support department told me that so I have now got a Bookme account. It’s amazing. Coming to think of it, I do have a question around transferring one the the URLs. I’m sure that will get sorted out soon.

Comment on How to integrate your Facebook events with Doodle by inturico

Heather — if you invite from Doodle, the link is specific for these people. However, if you don’t invite from Doodle, Doodle will provide you with a generic link that you can just send out or post to a bunch of people.
