Re: Default Project when using Vanity URL

This is still an issue. Interestingly, whilst until recently if you went to https://help.madcapsoftware.com/ you got an error, but this now redirects to https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2020r2/Content/Flare/Introduction/Home.htm. Why this can't be an option for us, I dunno! Flare's help is not ...

Please make sure your using the release version of Flare and not the Beta - Check the Help > About - It should read 13.0.6142 Then log in both. Make a few changes in a topic, push them to the server and check again if t...

Re: Hiding Search bar in Top Nav

Hello John,
In Flare 12 this is possible in the Skin.
Open your skin to the Styles tab.
In the Header Group there is a style called Search Bar.
Under Layout, set Display to 'none'.

Re: Stop Flare from inserting spaces inside <pre> tag

It is difficult to replicate this without some kind of example.

Could you please log this as a bug using our Report A Bug link? This way we can replicate it and get it to the Development teams.

Re: Build Terminated

Re: Google Chrome bug?

It's those Pseudo classes that are not handled by the browser correctly.

Other examples would be:
MadCap|popup:hover
MadCap|xref:hover

If you were to set the xref hover class, that would take over as soon as you corrected the dropdownhotspot styles.

Re: Trados' File Type Definition misses snippets and conditi

Kai,
Use Lingo and send the translators the XLIF files to be translated.
This should remove these issues and make sure your not paying to translate more words than you should.

Not trying to all Sales on you, but Lingo breaks these all up into segments to avoid these situations.
