I created the following question:
"Clippings. A document containing “index cards” on which you can paste, for future use, excerpts from resources, the web, Word documents, etc.
Morris Proctor, Logos 6: Training Manual, vol. 1 (Murfreesboro, TN: MP Seminars, 2015), 2.
Can you explain (or do a blog on) how to use clippings for web pages or Word documents? Thank you."
When I clicked Post absolutely nothing happened. I finally noticed a bit of a red line beside the scroll bar so I grabbed the scroll bar and could see there was an error indicator around the entry box. Usability issue 1 - did you really think I could find the red box ... and have any idea what the problem is?
Being the adventuresome sort (when it comes to software) I click cancel and try again. I select the same passage, select "Ask the Author" on the context menu and this is what I get - instantly:
BUG: Apparently the absolute lack of response to Post really meant something like "I'm doing it but not telling you - no spinning pizza, no repainted pane ..." As for the fact that I had selected only the Clipping sentence ....
I was one of the first to attempt to use this feature in beta testing ... I thought we had finally gotten it working. I'm attaching logs taken after closing the application but they may be of little help - I don't know.

After taking the logs, I opened Verbum, opened to the layout shot taken upon closing, removed the duplicate question in Ask the Author, and thought everything was okay BUG: until I noticed the lack of an icon for the Ask the Author question. I did check that it was turned on under Visual Filters..
CORRECTION: I had closed Verbum, updated my WinZip software, zipped the logs, uploaded them, reopened Verbum, futzed around a bit and then created the picture above. I then reviewed the forums, posted another problem ... surprise, the Ask the Author icon finally has shown up about an hour after the question was asked.
