• Yup, turning off the Proxy redirect solves the problem. Now I'm mildly concerned about what will happen the next time I'm using Zotero from home and accessing my university's resources, but that's not an immediate problem.

  in Zotero plugin for Firefox causing bizarre redirects on unrelated sites Comment by rsloan17 April 26, 2017
• I never got something fully satisfactory, but am happy to share the limited progress I made. I'm not seeing here how to post a .csl file. Either tell me the trick for uploading a file, or email me at sloan at uic dot edu and I'll send you what I …

  in How, exactly, do I install a new style of my own? Comment by rsloan17 December 7, 2015
• 1. Thank you very much for the pointer to http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html That is exactly the level of documentation that somebody like me--a programmer but utterly ignorant of .csl (because almost always Zotero already has e…

  in How, exactly, do I install a new style of my own? Comment by rsloan17 February 16, 2013
• Hmm. Deleting the .csl and reinstalling it made it work, when updating had not. Next 2 questions: (1) Now that I've gotten rid of the hanging indent, is there a way to right justify bibliography entries, which is how AAAI style in fact appears? …

  in How, exactly, do I install a new style of my own? Comment by rsloan17 February 16, 2013
• Thanks. Now I can install (though I get a complaint from FF that "This XML file does not seem to have any style file associated with it.") My next problem is that while I can get some of the changes I need to get closer to AAAI style, I cannot seem…

• Ahah! My copy was corrupted. (Probably by me, inadvertently clobbering an adjacent line while editing.) This still doesn't tell me what I put into the ID line while I am playing with my own local copy. Does it work to still point to the zo…

• I did see the link above on editing step-by-step, and it was not enough step-by-step for me as a complete newbie. I hadn't seen the github wiki. I'm still a bit confused. The chicago-author-date file I downloaded does not have an field. Looking i…

  in How, exactly, do I install a new style of my own? Comment by rsloan17 February 15, 2013
• A solution for me turned out to be to revert to a mildly earlier version of the document that was in .doc format rather than .docx format, which I had changed to at a very recent save. Hypothesis: Changing a document with 60+ Zotero citations f…

  in TypeError when trying to add additional citation to document Comment by rsloan17 March 4, 2012
• It seems that once the collection is part of a group with group settings for no file sharing, then I can't add a PDF to the collection entries at all, even for local storage.

  in Error copying collection to group in 3.0b3 demanding restart Comment by rsloan17 January 16, 2012
• Yes, the error goes away with that updated dev XPI. Thanks! I'm really impressed by how quickly and cheerfully the Zotero team debugs! Loosely related question: What is the best way for me to maintain a collection where the desired behavior is …

• Okay, I installed the 3.0 Branch dev and did it again; debug ID is D643098085

  in Error copying collection to group in 3.0b3 demanding restart Comment by rsloan17 January 15, 2012
• Ah, sorry. Debug ID from the output logging is D119306624

  in Error copying collection to group in 3.0b3 demanding restart Comment by rsloan17 January 14, 2012
• Okay, this time the Debug ID is 1471489710 Incidentally, this time I noticed that the request to restart Firefox did not come at the moment of the drag and drop, but immediately after when I clicked on the group folder to see if anything had la…

  in Error copying collection to group in 3.0b3 demanding restart Comment by rsloan17 January 14, 2012
• Thanks! I'd done everything that that note suggested except for the very last item: disabling all other extensions. Oddly, disabling my extensions fixed the problem. Oddly, because when I then re-enabled those same extensions, Zotero is still w…

  in annotated bibliography Comment by rsloan17 March 9, 2011
• I've uncovered a small glitch in the Chicago Annotated Bibliography style. It chokes a bit on items with URLs in them, such as web pages. The URL runs into formatting instructions to MS Word (specifically ) and the URL and formatting get combined in…

  in annotated bibliography Comment by rsloan17 March 9, 2011
• Reset translators and styles did indeed solve the problem. Didn't know that was in the advanced tab of Preferences or I would have tried it as one of my first 2-3 actions to solve the problem!

  in Google Scholar Not Working? Comment by rsloan17 January 11, 2011
• A further issue: Right click and Export Items does not work properly. I uninstalled and reinstalled Zotero, just to clear out files, and did some successful imports of books from amazon, attempts to Export bring up a window with a blank scroll wheel…

• Google Scholar has not locked me out. I'm a medium-heavy user (academic researcher) but don't seem to reach their limit. My error report ID is 1654798917

  in Google Scholar Not Working? Comment by rsloan17 January 6, 2011
• Aha! Another foolish user (me!) problem. I had disabled most of my add-ons, in searching for errors, but not Zot2Bib, and it turned out that the problem was somewhere along the line I messed up one of Zot2Bib's settings, which became obvious to me w…
