I would agree too. But in the meantime, something I've done to make it a bit easier on my Asus T100 touchscreen is to change the font settings to at least make the list entries bigger and easier to hit with my fingers.

Interesting Roman. Probably the terms are world time and local time which have values that are relative (GMT +/-) and absolute (e.g. 1pm) respectively. I suspect that one issue here is that desktop/laptops take their time from the system clock which is based on a fixed setting for the normal

This has been reported a number of times over the years, including by myself a couple of years ago. One problem is that MLO uses midnight as the time for untimed tasks which get screwed up on a sync in a different time zone. It would be better just to use the date. -- You received this

Apologies for that. But it's a Google group with volunteers doing much of the moderation. Not only does that mean we have no control over the features, but it also means it's not so much a feature problem, just a resources problem. As someone that has been on communication platform search

Hi Andrei Interesting - thanks Quick question: How are you using the term Effort in this context? Is it: - The total amount of mental energy to complete a task (or project)? - A simple reflection the amount of psychological resistance you have towards completing the task (or project)? (i.e.

I'm going to put on my volunteer moderator hat, given to me the developer, and officially ask that you don't create any separate list about MLO right now. Wait for an okay from the developers for any idea like this before you jump in and mix things up and frankly, create more discord. This is

Wait for an okay from the developers for any idea like Yes, agreed. This is exactly what I am doing. Hence I started this thread. What's clear to you is not at all clear to many of us who have actually been here doing this for years. What irony! With huge respect, I think part of the

Hello Sorry - another new user question... I have realised that I am slightly confused about the MLO use of English. What is the exact definition of: A) Task ? B) Project ? C) Action ? D) Active Action ? E) Next Action ? Here is my best attempt at defining each of them: (please do correct me

I don't think a separate forum for new users is a good idea. Based on my experience of other (too many) forums I think a few additional pinned threads here could be useful though. Namely, list of resources for new users, faq's, tips tricks, and forum rules guidelines. In terms of interaction

Hi, John. MLO is a tool or platform that can be used to manage tasks according to numerous different methodologies. For the most part, the questions you ask impress me as being about the methodology and not the tool. In those cases, the answers you will get from the tool and its documentation

Hi, John. I'd like to acknowledge that you are free to discuss MLO with anyone you want, anywhere you want, whenever you want. If you want to create an MLO Newbies discussion on Reddit, nobody can stop you. If you want to exchange your screenshots on Tumblr, good luck to you. The question is,

OK so what I got from all the comments is that there's no real solution. Seems that everyone is just somehow working around the problem. Why, why, why is it so that MLO is such a good tool but with such basic problems sometimes that make me want to find a replacement ... :) Worst is that there is
