It's been so long since I've used Scholastic Keys - they moved me to Jr. High 3 years ago. I can't remember what I did.

I have scholastic keys, how can I fix it. I also found that in PPT you can only print slides, not handouts. Any way of changing that?? You said the spell check was fixed.

I had problems getting my techs to allow diigo because of it. But what about the diigolet? You get most of the functionality, but only when/where you need it. If you don't activate it, it doesn't communicate wiu diigo. I totally understand and agree that the potential data mining is a huge turn off.

Functionality is appropriated but usability could be better (for this goal): for example cant understand how to assign "comments" to a group with contextual menu / popups, without visiting the diigo.com pages... But I am more concerned with the underlying "spyware": to work, diigo client software MUST send to diigo.com ALL URLS you navigate, in order to resolve them and match possible diigo community annotations. What is very bad is that even if you "log off" from diigo, diigo client continues to communicate your navigation behavior with diigo.com. Hope that diigo team will release an explicit "private" mode, simply allowing the user to toggle diigo on/off from the diigo toolbar, and possibly to let the user define an URL whitelist , on which diigo is allowed to act . Now the workaround to this is to toggle on/off the firefox add-on. For me, and for my company, this is a big security issue, probably compelling out team to ban this software.
