• I'm having very similar (and random) problems with 2.1b7 that seem like they're just a bug. After disabling the disambiguation "add names" and "add given name" options in my style -- because I was getting them randomly, when they weren't appro…

• Thank you! I got it to work now. It is a very dangerous thing, letting former English/history majors moonlight as self-taught programmers...

• Actually, I'd put it into the author-short macro, not the author one, but either way, the validator isn't liking it.

• What is the proper syntax? I tried it in my author macro and the validator got really upset. 1. Error: Attribute demote-non-dropping-particle not allowed on element name from namespace http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl at this point. …

• I think it's something built into Zotero's thinking, though -- it seems to be programmed to dismiss the "von" as an insignificant particle. Not sure what it would do with a standard Spanish name, like Maria Perez Ruiz (where Perez Ruiz are both her…

• This is with my custom style, by the way. With Chicago author-date, it does it slightly differently: It orders it under the M's, but it does list it as "van Mantgem." van Mantgem, Phillip J., Nathan L. Stephenson, John C. Byrne, Lori D. Daniels…

• How strict is the Chicago rule, though? Because here's what I'm finding: You have an 8-author article, and # 4 is John Smith. Another article has Jason Smith as lead author. And Zotero wants to disambiguate in citations! Never seen that before. …

• My laptop at home synced successfully yesterday, but my office computer has been in sync mode -- without a successful sync -- for several hours now. Worst part is for some reason, I can't insert references in Word documents while the sync is going …

  in Stuck on getting update from sync server Comment by marionsd January 24, 2011
• Just tried to sync (haven't successfully synced this computer in several days, but was waiting for the upgrade) and got this error message: 47cfe1404c.

  in Sync fails Comment by marionsd January 23, 2011
• I've been able to sync from my laptop and my home PC, but not at all -- in more than a week -- from my PC at my office. It's rather a problem since, well, I work here... it's also created complications because in trying to compensate, I accidentall…
