Remove Obsolete Docs from Service 

The knownIssues and ReleaseNotes pages here are ancient. These pages are
now served from our website (and have been for the last 7 years!), so it
is time to flush them from here!

<strong>
Tips for getting the most out of the forums.
</strong>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<strong>
How do I join a forum?
</strong>
<br />
From the Table of Contents page click on the title of a forum. From here click
Join Forum. Set your membership preferences.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>
Why should I join a forum?
</strong>
<br />
Joining allows you to post to the forum. Everything else you can do without
joining.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>
How do I post something to the forum?
</strong>
<br />
You must join the forum to post something to it. Click the Join Forum to Post
link and set your membership preferences.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>
Can I still get emails from the forum?
</strong>
<br />
Yes. You can set your email preferences by clicking the My Membership link.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>
I'm getting bombarded with e-mails. How can I selectively follow a
forum thread?
</strong>
<br />
To selectively follow a forum thread, look for the "Options" link above the
thread. Clicking on it will open up some options you can set including "Email
updates to me". Clicking on that option will allow you to follow a single
thread via e-mail. You can then turn down or off the e-mail options in the My
Preferences section. Also, you may reply to the e-mail that you receive and it
will act like a "post" to the forum.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>
Can I attach a file(s) to a thread so that others can download
it?
</strong>
<br />
Make sure you followed the steps above to follow of a single forum thread. Then
post a "dummy" reply to the thread to ensure that you get an e-mail of it. Once
you've received the email, you can reply to the e-mail normally and attach
whatever files you would like (size limited to what your e-mail client can
handle). The file(s) will appear in the thread for others to download at their
leisure.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>
Is it possible to join all of the forums by joining one master
forum?
</strong>
<br />
At this time that is not possible. We hope to see that functionality rolled out
in the feature.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<strong>
I can not see the forum on Internet Explore 6.
</strong>
<br />
Embedded discussions will not work with Internet Explorer 6. Please use IE7 or
higher, or a different browser.

<h3>App Inventor Beta Preview Known Issues</h3>
<p>This is a beta preview release of App Inventor. There are known minor bugs and glitches,
and occasional failures in connecting to the phone or in getting projects to build.
This version should be stable enough for personal or educational use,
although it would be a good idea to maintain backup copies of important projects.</>
<p>There are also a couple of specific issues to watch out for. We're
working on these, but we didn't want to hold up this release to wait until they
were fixed.
<p>
<h4>Known Issues List:</h4>
<ul style="disc">
<li>Unable to load large projects: This version of App Inventor cannot load projects as
large as last year's Google version. If you are trying to transfer over a large
project (e.g., large numbers of image or sound files, or very large individual files)
you may see the error "Unable to load project". The problem may be worse on slow
connections.
</li>
<p />
<li>Manipulating blocks while switching screens: If you are working with a multiscreen
app and you switch screens, do not move blocks with the mouse or click links in the
Blocks Editor until the new screen is done loading. If you do so, the Blocks editor
can become confused about which screen you are working on, and you can get errors, or even
lose blocks. The same warning applies when you switch between projects. When loading a new
project, don't use the Blocks editor until the project has finished loading.
</li>
<p />
<li>Unstable project loading:
We've gotten reports of projects loading incorrectly, with blocks missing. We're trying
to track this down, but in the meantime be diligent about keeping local backups,
especially for large and important projects.
</li>
<p />
<li>Failure to package projects:
We're currently seeing a 6% failure rate in attempts to package projects.
Many of these appear to be intermittent. If your project fails to
package, try again once or twice. Another source of failure may
result from case collisions in the names of media files: If your
project has two pictures named, for example, MyPict.jpg and mypict.jpg, this may cause
errors.
</li>
</ul>
