How to start RTM offline?
tonvdg says:
Installed google gears. All seems ok. Once I started RTM online I can now switch to offline. Works ok! Great, but would it not be a great idea that you can actually start RTM offline??? I am obviously missing something. Does anyone know how to start it. I cannot find it.
Thx

Oh you Tosser. Just do not use your normal bookmark (www.rememberthemilk.com/login) but use www.rememberthemilk.com without the login bit.

And it only works if you ALWAYS EXIT it in offline mode. Otherwise it is pretty useless if you want to do something when travelling because then for it to work you have to login first and change to offline mode.
What is needed is a setting "always logout in offline mode".

Ton, it should automatically be in sync when you go offline (it shouldn't be necessary to manually switch to offline mode). One thing to be aware of is that you'll need to leave RTM logged in if you intend to use it offline (as it's not possible to go through the login process while offline). If you continue to experience problems, please let us know. Thanks!

Also, if it's not working correctly, could you please let us know your browser and operating system? Thanks!

hi, i have the same problem as tonvdg. i use firefox on windows XP. offline functionality is great if i go offline (both manually or automatically) when i have a browser open with RTM in it; but here's the situation I commonly find myself in:
* on tuesday night i use RTM online and close the browser without manually going offline (also without logging out; l always use the "Remember me on this computer" function)
* on wednesday morning i happen not to try to use RTM until I'm somewhere without an internet connection. there, i open the browser and go to RTM and there's nothing -"Firefox can't find the server at www.rememberthemilk.com".
so i am hoping that there could eventually be an "always logout in offline mode" setting- because sometimes you can't predict that the next time you want to manage your tasks will be somewhere where you will be offline!
in every other way this is a great and essential tool! thanks
