Conference feedback

It waw agreat and helpful conference. I'm glad I still ahve to attend the sessions I missed


I really appreciate the efforts and all the sessions offered. Great event.


The content was great, the chats were great. The only thing we would like to improve is to be able to retrieve the whole chat to review later. There was great information on the collaboration chat this morning, but the history button only gives you a little bit, not all, so we missed some of the info because there were too many participants. Still, it was a great translation day! Thank you!!

14:41 May 28, 2014 Marc Christian: 1237489 All Hi Sandor! Thanks. I guess I first need to wrap my head around today's event, as I didn't have the chance to prepare myself for it.

15:10 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All I'm not sure if there is a link for low bandwith. Drew, can you please help with this?
15:14 May 28, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All The video player at the bottom of the page listed as "on-demand" is the low bandwidth player

15:44 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All Hi sayda, can you please specify what you'd like to enlarge?
15:45 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All If you wish to make fonts of the entire interface larger, you'll need to adjust it in your windows settings
15:49 May 28, 2014 Sayda Pineda: 99009 All It is the interface. Thank you. I will readjust the Windows settings. MemoQ fonts in the preview and editor work perfectly but I can barely read the information in the entire interface

15:57 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All Last year's videos are also available at the event page of virtual memoQ day 2012. So on-demand videos will be available in the next couple of months, most probably.
15:59 May 28, 2014 DTPLead: 1923856 All 'last year' 2012 or 2013? (and thanks, I will probably go back to most of them:) )
