  in Publication place stuck at "Amsterdam ;;Boston ;;London:" in bibliography Comment by seans_potato_biz July 31, 2018
• Thanks, I did that and it fixed that problem but I have another which was inserted into the bibliography directly using "edit bibliography" because that reference happens to be in a text box. In this screenshot you can see that the author is present…

• https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item is cool but not very intuitive. You'd never find that out unless you looked it up (as opposed to most other functions which seem to follow standards set and followed by most other prog…

  in Find out in which collection/sub-collection folder a file is stored Comment by seans_potato_biz July 30, 2018
• Reinstallation fixed this. Thanks.

  in Zotero preferences won't open Comment by seans_potato_biz July 24, 2018
• No, the problem doesn't go away even if I restart the PC. Is there any other way to view the details of the sync WebDav? I have my files syncing somewhere but I don't remember where and I need to find out so I can set up Zotero on my home PC and la…

  in Zotero preferences won't open Comment by seans_potato_biz July 24, 2018
• Thanks, unfortunately, the preferences window also does not appear in the Alt + Tab overlay. When I open the preferences window on my laptop, another window appears on the taskbar (grouped with the main Zotero window) but this does not happen on my …

• Thanks; disambiguation is exactly what is happening. There is a really big problem between my chair and keyboard; sorry!

  in Zotero is inserting two names in a citation instead of one (out of twelve authors) Comment by seans_potato_biz July 17, 2018
• Thanks. I'm sure I've used prefix and suffix in the past but forgot about them >:(

  in Citation order for multiple citations in one... citation. Comment by seans_potato_biz July 17, 2018
• Thanks very much!

  in Chicago Manual of Style inline citation page numbers Comment by seans_potato_biz July 17, 2018
• Does APA look identical to Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition (author-date)? I'm afraid to change the style because I've had to edit some items manually so they won't update if I change the style.

• Yeah, you're right; I checked other Kim's and they've changed as well. Thanks!

  in D. Kim et al. vs Kim et al. (initial added but not sure why; looks inconsistent) Comment by seans_potato_biz May 17, 2018
• I was not aware. I'll use the year column instead. Thanks very much.

  in Feature request: parse dates of publication so they can be stored in a shorter format Comment by seans_potato_biz May 17, 2018
• I made a feature request for MS Word for this feature. Would have been great if someone had done this four years ago but better late than never, I guess. If you'd like to insert Zotero references into image captions, please support this feature req…

  in Adding Citations in Captions of Figures Comment by seans_potato_biz May 7, 2018
• Thanks, that's good to know.

  in Suggestion: allow "suppress parantheses", similar to "suppress author" Comment by seans_potato_biz May 3, 2018
• It worked this morning for some reason. First it rejected my username and password multiple times and then after signing into box.com with my browser it accepted the same username/password.

  in Using box.com for webdav: correct URL rejected as invalid Comment by seans_potato_biz April 12, 2018
• Okay, thanks very much. I'll verify that my chosen citation style is correct before putting the figure reference inside the citation.

  in Putting citation and figure cross-reference fields in same parantheses (MS Word 2016) Comment by seans_potato_biz April 11, 2018
• I have this debug ID generated for the verify server attempt: D1581452287 I have made a request to my IS department to update my Zotero for Windows installation. It is likely to take at least a couple of days before this is done. Unfortunately, Zot…

• I just experienced this error and restarting Word and Zotero seemed to resolve it.

  in This.registry.citationreg.citationById[c[0]] is undefined Comment by seans_potato_biz April 10, 2018
• Thanks again; USDA does look better for the inline citation.

  in Citing the US Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service spreadsheet Comment by seans_potato_biz April 10, 2018
• Okay; thanks very much!

  in Citing the US Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service spreadsheet Comment by seans_potato_biz April 9, 2018
• Do you think I should put 'United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service' for both 'institution' and 'author'? Thanks!

  in How to cite instructions supplied with a life science product Comment by seans_potato_biz April 3, 2018
• A check box alongside 'Do not show this message again' would be a reasonable compromise in my opinion.

  in Renaming all Files with Parent Metadata Comment by seans_potato_biz March 24, 2018
• There was a Zotero shortcut on the Start menu; however, when Windows suggested deleting it because it couldn't find what the shortcut pointed to, I said yes. The version 4.0 of Zotero was called Zotero Standalone to differentiate it from the web br…

  in Zotero update notifications on accounts with insufficient priveleges (are annoying!) Comment by seans_potato_biz February 15, 2018
• That didn't go well. Not only did it leave the old Zotero installation (called Zotero Standalone), it gave me some shortcuts to just "Zotero" (no Standalone; presumably Zotero has changed the name for version 5.0) and the executable that those short…

• I've uploaded a screenshot which I think shows that Zotero is missing the code that tells it how to obtain the PDF. Could the code be written/updated? Nature is kind of a popular outlet for papers pertaining to biology... The top part of the screen…

  in PDF not downloading automatically for this nature paper Comment by seans_potato_biz April 11, 2016
• Everything is fine. The error must be one I made. When I open Zotero Standalone a file called zotero.sqlite-journal is created in /Zotero and /Zotero/zotero.sqlite is modified so I think the profile is exactly where it was expected to be. Thanks a…
