Hi, a small issue in the application page.

If the 'Company url' field is typed without "http:// it doesn't get saved.

http://example.com (good)

www.example.com (bad)

example.com (bad)

Is it a bug or am I doing it wrong. (Ubuntu /Firefox 6.0)

thank you.

Regarding the font. If you are on Windows XP, enable Font Smoothing.

Desktop properties > Appearances > Effects > [x] Use the following methods to smooth edges of screen fonts: Select [Standard]

An auto retractable design for a key, like one of those usb flash drives might help. http://www.usbmemorysticks.net/wp-content/gallery/sandisk-cr...

By default, the key will be hidden inside it's case. When the user wishes to open the lock, he can just place the key on the keyhole and start inserting it. :)
