CheckVist lets us move a task to another list. I wish we could copy a task to another list, too (i.e. without deleting the copy in the present list). Unfortunately, you've now used the term "task copy" for another function!

Two intermittent issues that have been annoying me about Checkvist. Neither is consistent enough for me to capture via screenshots, unfortunately: 1. List items with multiple line breaks sometimes appear compressed (i.e. with only single line breaks, even when I've included double or triple) after "saving". Workaround is to reactivate the item and immediately close it....it usually appears correct. 2. Sometimes after editing and closing an item, the text appears as a very light grey, and does a very slow fade-to-black. Until it finally turns black, you can't re-open it for editing in any way. I'm guessing this is the CheckVist server lagging on a save action.

"Send me change digest for the last 24 hours" never works.

Kirill, If you'd prefer, feel free to delete this and reply privately. We've created a very interesting proofing system that draws data from our various checkvist lists. It transforms the data into a final, ready-to-publish design. I'd like to make an offer and a request: Offer: you're welcome to the code for this system if you think it might be helpful. I realize only a small % of your users are using CheckVist to create publishing projects, but with this code perhaps you could increase that %. We are happy to share. Request: the system has a "global export" function that exports all our final-proof content to a single HTML file. It draws data from all our CheckVist pages at once (100 pages maximum). We won't do this often, but, if you want, we can commit to doing it only in low-traffic time periods. Just tell us the best time. I ran such an export 15 minutes ago (at 10:42am EST) if you want to see what it looks like in your logs. I don't believe it...

Your search engine is broken for the second time this month. Assignments made over the last few days cannot be found. It's very difficult to do our work when this keeps breaking, and I'm reporting this latest recurrence for the second time (maybe you missed the previous report, because I added it to our previous discussion of this problem).

In several places, Checkvist mentions a "filter" function that searches for parts of words, in contrast with the plain search that looks only for entire words. Is there any documentation on this? I can't find any in the help pages.

PROBLEM: Global searches for assignments for a given worker stopped working. I can only find assignments created weeks ago, none within the past few days. On my pages, examples would be (at)Pierre, which finds nothing, and (at)LSR which finds only very old ones. Note: I can't type the "at" sign or Google Groups formats it.

For tax reasons, I need to account for all Checkvist subscriptions and renewals I've purchased. I don't see anywhere in Checkvist or in fastspring to view a complete order history. Can you help?

I have many lists and many editors. One editor has sharing permission on maybe 25% of the pages, and I want to let him share the rest.  There's no easy way to see what he's shared on and what he isn't. Am I safe just selecting all lists in List View, and adding him as a share to all? That will be a little illogical, since he's already sharing 25% of them. Am I safe to do this?

Someone just tried to create a new account on Checkvist, and there was some problem with the password. She was told she'd be mailed a new one, it never arrived, and she's not able to try again. Can you clear out her previous effort so she can start again? She's 75 years old, may have done something wrong, but I'd like her to be able to participate in our project. She is hammond.pat@gmail.com

I have 8 people working on my team, and they're split into subscriptions for 5, for 2, and for 1 (this was not my intention). Is there any way to combine them into one group? I understand that their billing cycles are different, but the system should be intelligent enough to let me organize my teams on a basis other than their billing date. I am jimleff.ny@gmail.com

My tags index page shows 12 iterations of an empty tag (i.e. "#") throughout my various CheckVist pages. But I can't view them because clicking the tag on that page leads to a search for empty "#", which is not searchable.

The main workaround for the lack of a sig or logging functions in CheckVist is to make use of the colors feature. I assigned black, red, blue, and green to my first four workers so that they can self-identify (though only on a line-by-line basis, because color, unlike bold or italic, applies to the entire line...which makes it impossible, for instance, to signal one's edits of other team member's work). When more workers came into my project, I started assigning the outline colors, which was even more kludgey, because that styling dominates so much, visually. With more than 7 people, there is no way to self-identify.  CheckVist could at least aid this workaround by enabling more colors (violet? orange? brown?) with the 7, 8, 9, and 0 keys. Preferably font colors, rather than outline. More effective, of course, would be to add tools to make collaboration truly feasible. But, meanwhile, this help with the workaround would be easy and appreciated.

Is there any way to create a URL for a focused list item? For example, if I want to email team members a specific portion of a list to check out.

Is there a URL that directly triggers a manual backup download? I'm "pro".

I believe I read that you can assign each team member his own color (for edits, comments, etc on lists). I can't see where to do this...or where to, generally, handle settings for team members (yes, I, and they, are all signed up for Pro).
