Conference feedback

I found the conference very useful, especially for those (like me) that are learning the ropes on CAT tools. Like a colleague has already said, I will review the videos, as the info was overwhelming. I'm happy to be on Proz.com and being able to attend these sessions (and free, which is important for freelancers ;) ) Thank you.

Time From To Content
10:19 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All VIRTCONF works. In contrast, the code VIRTCONF1 (mentioned here http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/604/sales) does not work, so you need to look into it.
10:19 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All Thanks Pavel...we will get on that immediately
10:20 Apr 8, 2014 ulzii: 1763290 All hi
10:20 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All what exactly would you like to see in DVX3 regarding QA?
10:20 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All all the 3 codes are working
10:21 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All Thanks for checking Blandine
10:21 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All Don't forget about the language identification quiz at http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/604/program/9460
10:22 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All You could win a Deja Vu workgroup license!
10:22 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All The discount codes produce different results.
10:22 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All I think it depends on what you have in your shopping cart.
10:22 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All normally VIRTCONF is 30% on everything
10:23 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All Yeah...
10:23 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All It did not work the first time I tried, it did work when I tried now. Still, 521.50 EUR seems rather steep. Version x3 came out uncharacteristically quickly after x2, and having to pay that much...
10:23 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All Should we explain the differences?
10:24 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All I am actually contemplating a downgrade from Dejavu x2 Workgroup to Deja vu x3 Pro if the price is substantially better.
10:24 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All there should not be any difference
10:24 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Can you make me an offer at [email protected] ?
10:24 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All So that there is no confusion, VIRTCONF is the general code to apply a 30% on all the items you want
10:25 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All sure Pavel, I'll contact you privately.
10:25 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Thank you.
10:26 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Hi Pavel.
10:30 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All The next update for DVX3 will include both fixes and some new functionality.
10:31 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All For example, it will be possible to export Déjà Vu comments as Office comments using the new Microsoft Office Live filter.
10:32 Apr 8, 2014 Lbenito_atril: 1174606 All The full list of changes will be available on our website after the release of the update.
