Working for me thus far. But … not acceptable that there’s no answer from them ! “Hey RTM ghosts, if you’re hiring I’ll step up and begin answering your LOYAL customers. C’mon dudes and dudettes !!

The worst thing is they keep giving us hope, then it falls flat again, big promises.

Reply to android app: clicking on URL opens it in some kind of "sub" browser

You can click in the top right corner and select "Open in Chrome". I don't think there is a default option to always open links in your default browser.

If you don't want the quarterly events to wander over the years, given that 90/365 is messy, you may prefer four repeating annual events set for the quarters.

I wish I could detect a pulse from them, but after years of trying I've just come to accept it for what it is. I spent a lot of time looking for something better, but the alternatives have their own problems and fall into two categories. 1) Free but featureless. 2) Significantly more expensive than RTM and still have bugs and support problems. I would not use RTM with a team, but just for individual use it does the job, as long as I don't get hung up on desires that will never be met.

Reply to Help with Smart Lists parameters

grwleblanc (Pro) says:

I use these because I don't want the subtask showing up on my various todo lists. I think it just clutters things up. I had actually abandoned using subs over this confusion before I realized I could filter them out. Also, I don't set any dates on the subs, I just let the parent control the follow up.

repeating task failure

grwleblanc (Pro) says:

I recently came across two instances (two different tasks) that failed to repeat after completion. The way I caught one was that it was in special list and I didn't see the new generation after completion. I caught the other because after a few days I realized the task had disappeared. Both tasks were repeat x days after completion. How can I protect myself short of actually looking for the regeneration, which seems to defeat the purpose of setting the repeat?

Thanks! I guess I was just trying to get too fancy with the "quarterly" tag. :)

Looks like this was an issue a year ago in the forum but there never was an answer. Well, it started happening to me a few weeks ago. Is there a fix?

Reply to Dumb question?

yyaboo (Pro) says:

You have a few options.
Repeat after 3 months
Or
Repeat every 3 months.

Depends what you need/want :)

Dumb question?

johnmsch (Pro) says:

After using RTM for at least 325 years, I'm stumped and must be be missing something obvious. I need to setup a task that repeats quarterly. Haven't had to do this before and must be overthinking it.

android app: clicking on URL opens it in some kind of "sub" browser

sdfoakes says:

Please can anyone help me figure out why this is happening? In the android app, when I tap on the URL assigned to a task (blue writing), the app opens the URL inside itself in some kind of embedded browser as opposed to letting the phone's usual handler handle it (and opening in the default browser e.g. Lemur or Chrome). Any suggestions?

Help with Smart Lists parameters

dennisjaffe (Pro) says:

I'm looking for someone who I can pay to explain to me how the Smart List parameters work.

For example, I don't understand these four:

* Subtasks is subtask
* Subtasks is not subtask
* Subtasks has subtasks
* Subtasks does not have subtasks

I've created Smart Lists using various parameters, and the results don't make sense to me.

Thanks!

Seeking a Tutor for RTM I'll pay

dennisjaffe (Pro) says:

Hello, I'm looking for someone who has expertise in RTM and an excellent ability to explain things. I will pay for assistance. I haven't used RTM for a while. I've read posts and comments about the developer having discontinued providing support. That's sad! Even though it hasn't been updated, perhaps in years, I haven't found anything that is as versatile and feature-rich for my use.
