  • I must admit that my statement of "I'm just a simple idiot" has once again proven accurate: After checking for what might be blocking the connection to Zotero desktop program, I found it to be Avast anti-virus/Intenet software. However, this does n…
  • Their is a problem communication: users are saying that the problems are endemic.. we are not the coders and often do not understand or can take the time to understand what is wrong. However, after about three years of experiencing my own problems,…
  • Zotero stand alone use with Chrome is frustratingly full of holes. Whatever the cause, it simply does not work well. I have been a long term user of Zotero but am considering switching to Mendeley for this reason. At this point, its far more reliab…
  • [Edit: This is no longer necessary. See below. — D.S.] My hack to restore Zotero files, collections: 1.) Go to the Zotero settings (gear looking icon on the Zotero command bar) 1.b Click command 1.c Click icon on the top right 1.d Click 2.) S…

  • It is? OK, then how do I set up Gmail to provide webdav support for Zotero? What if I want to use Livemail or Hotmail, or Yahoo! mail, or anyotherwebmail I freaken wnat instead? If you show me how to do this on any popular web email without a…

  • No, it works with hosted WEBDAV which is not provided to the end user. If Zotero is to be used easily by non-techies and broader population, users should not have to have Webdav or any other server available to them. Webdav is not in the clo…
