Happy Thanksgiving Day to all our readers in the U.S. I'll be away with family the next few days and will resume publication on Monday.

I do have a request to make, as there haven't been many hint submissions related to either iLife 11 or MS Office 2011. If you have discovered any new tricks or uses or pitfalls regarding one or more of the applications in those suites, please consider sharing them with the community.

My thanks to all of you,

Craig A.

Happy Tenth Birthday, MacOSXHints!

Thanks to all the many authors, contributors, readers throughout the decade. And many, many thanks to Rob, for creating this great place to share our discoveries, big and little.

OK, the poll is up and running again. Please cast your vote.

Thanks for your patience.

Here's the direct link to it.

No, it's not an undocumented holiday. I'm on travel and will be back tomorrow. Keep the good hints coming in the meantime.

I'll be trying out Parallels 6 and see what can be culled from that.

It's the Labor Day holiday in the U.S. today. We'll be back tomorrow with some more iTunes 10 hints, while awaiting the iOS 4.1 and Mac OS X 10.6.5 updates.

The site's fully-qualified domain name changed yesterday from www.macosxhints.com to hints.macworld.com.

DNS redirection should be taking place automatically but you will want to update your bookmarks. You may also need to update saved login credentials to reflect the new domain.

Please let me know if you encounter any difficulties resulting from the changeover.

Thanks!
Craig

P.S. The MacOSXHints forums will be changing as well: hintsforums.macworld.com.

Edit - OK, the survey is now closed. Thanks again to those who participated, despite the difficulties.

Just a reminder: if you're not attending the WWDC keynote today, Macworld's Jason Snell and Dan Moren will be providing live coverage here. The keynote begins at 10:00 AM PDT.

We've posted a new poll asking how many monitors you use with your most-used Mac.

I know many of you have more than one Mac, but one of them is probably your most-used machine -- and it's the number of displays connected to that machine that we're curious about. We last ran a poll like this in 2002, and it will be interesting to see if the percentage of multi-monitor users has gone down or up since then (I believe about 34% had more than one display in 2002).

Today marks the beginning of the transition of macosxhints.com to a new (well, sort of new, as you'll see) editor. Macworld has hired Craig Arko (his ID here is crarko) as my replacement, and while he may be new to you, he's not new to me. Craig helped launch the Mac OS X Hints forum site way back in early 2002. He's been there ever since, helping keep the forum site one of the most useful destinations for those in need of help with OS X and related programs.

I'm thrilled that Craig is coming on board to manage hints; it's great having a familiar (to me), well known and knowledgeable replacement. For the next week or two, I'll be training Craig, so you'll see both 'robg adds' and 'crarko adds' on the editor's notes.

Soon, though, Craig will officially take the mantle of Mac OS X Hints editor in chief, and I'll become a regular hints contributor like the rest of you. I've had an amazing time with the site, and I'm confident that it will continue to thrive under Craig's oversight. Welcome aboard, Craig!

[crarko adds: Greetings, all! It will be a great honor to continue the tradition of Mac OSX Hints!]
