how to disable the flashing notification in office communicator (work group instant message)? - office-communicator

At work I get constant flashes on the group instant message I'm in and it's very annoying Is there a way to disable the flashing notification when someone types something in the group?
I've gone thru settings and disabled as many notifications as i can, but the flash still appears in the task bar after someone adds something to the window.
I'm currently using office communicator 2007.

In a Microsoft Office Add-in, is there a way to access whether the window is active/focussed?

I am developing an Add-in for Microsoft Word (desktop and web versions). The add-in will feature a timer and a requirement is for the timer to pause when the user navigates away from the window.
I can detect navigation away from the Add-in pane using "focus" and "blur" event listeners on the global window object. Is there a way to do the same for the Word application itself, both desktop and web versions?
I have tried the accepted solution from this question, trying both document.onvisibilitychange and document.addEventListener("visibilitychange"), but not able to get either of those events to trigger: MS Word Online add-in: How to detect focus?

Add-in disappearing from customers' ribbon in Word desktop

We are getting an increased number of reports from customers that our add-in sporadically disappear from the ribbon in Word. It is a problem for us as people don't use what they can't see and many are very un-tech savvy and don't know how to reactivate add-ins (especially if they are used to have their central admin push them out to them).
Is this a known issue? Is there any setting in the manifest file that we might have missed? We would appreciate any information that might point us in the right direction to solve this.
First of all, I'd suggest making sure the add-in is available and loaded by host application.
Second, I'd recommend checking whether any ribbon UI errors are thrown by the host application. By default, if an add-in attempts to manipulate the Microsoft Office user interface (UI) and fails, no error message is displayed. However, you can configure Microsoft Office applications to display messages for errors that relate to the UI. You can use these messages to help determine why a custom ribbon does not appear, or why a ribbon appears but no controls appear.
To show add-in user interface errors you need to start the application and configure the following option:
Click the File tab.
Click Options.
In the categories pane, click Advanced.
In the details pane, select Show VSTO Add-in user interface errors, and then click OK.
See How to: Show Add-in user interface errors for more information.

Problem while changing from field to field in a Formulary automated with Autohotkey

I've automated filling a formulary developed with Microsoft Forms but sometimes it works and sometimes don't.
Originally changing from one input field to another just requires sending a TAB. I do that in Autohotkey with the command:
Send , {TAB}
What I've found is that sometimes the "area" of a question can be selected, and sometimes it does not.
When the area of a question can be selected, I must send two TABs to change from the current input filed to the next one:
Send , {TAB 2}
I'm currently using Microsoft Edge, but I've also used Firefox and Google Chrome and the behavior is the same. It's funny that the first time I tried Firefox, or Chrome the question areas are not selectable but after refreshing the form (F5) the question areas become selectable.
I've also tried closing the browser and even turning my computer off and restarting it again.
**But the behavior is always the same: ** Sometimes the question areas are selectable and sometimes don't.
I don't know if it is a browser configuration (I think not because different browsers exhibit the same behavior).
Even, it could be the form rendering from Microsoft or any other thing I really don't know.
I just don't want to have two Autohotkey programs for filling the same form, one used when question areas are selectable and other for when question areas are not selectable.
So, any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
J.
It seems that when you are logged in your Microsoft 365 account then question areas are selectable and when you are logged out, they are not.
So, to avoid question areas to be selectable (and need an additional tab in autohotkey) you just need to be logged off from you Microsoft 365 account and that's all.
So, to fill my form automatically I log off from my Microsoft 365 account and run my autohotkey script and it fills the form correctly.
Seems odd, but it is working for me, and this is better than having two scripts for the same Microsoft Form.

Sendgrid's links produce a can't establish a secure connection

We are using for few months now sendgrid's click tracking feature and since this morning some of our customers could not be redirected to our platform through Sendgrid generated links.
They have the error :
Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "u6012831.ct.sendgrid.net"
I cannot reproduce it on my side.
any ideas were it could come from and how to fix that permanently?
We have the same problem. From our side when we test our newsletter (not made with a template from SendGrid but from our own cms / newsletter) we cannot reproduce the problem - besides of these facts:
-Thunderbird / Mac shows an similar info, but there you can click 'send it through SendGrid anyway' and it opens the link correctly
-Outlook / Windows - there when you allow downloading all the images, then it works too
-the link should be implemented into text, not shown as simple url. Implemented into text also Thunderbird of Mac works without any popup information.
On all other mail programs (on Mac, Windows, Android) from our side, it works fine. But some of our customers tells, that no link works on Windows / Outlook or Windows / Thunderbird or Android
Very strange!!
And the most annoying problem is that the support of SendGrid very often is absolutely not helpful. Some month go we contacted them and the solution (after waiting at least 2 Weeks of response!): you always can send it not via SendGrid. That may help. Thank you SendGrid!!
I got Sendgrid support's answer to late and so decided to remove the click tracking feature... I think it is because some of our clients have very strong firewall rules, blocking sendgrid domain.
UPDATE:
I received an answer few weeks later. I would like to share it for the one having the same issue :
This is something I have also dealt with when I first started using the system and I have solved this by setting up link branding for my account which helped to hide the wrapping.

How to enable email alerts for Firebase crash reports [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Firebase Crash report email
(3 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
In the Firebase crash reporting guide, there is a list of key capabilities where it lists one capability as:
Enable email alerts to receive frequent updates when new crashes are uncovered or regressions are detected.
I would like to activate that feature, but I can't seem to find the way of doing so. I found two things related in the console:
If I navigate to Settings -> Service Accounts -> Crash Reporting, I can see some links to the docs.
If i click on the three dot next to my picture in the upper right corner of the console, there are the users settings, in which I can select Alert subscriptions. I select my app and I can see all email check-boxes checked
I still don't receive anything when a new bug or regression is created.
Well, I just received an email for a test I did yesterday. Basically, the reports appear in the console in a matter of minutes, but it took almost 20 hours to get the email. I guess the emails are sent on a daily basis containing the reports of the day before. Note that I did not change anything in the settings in that project, meaning the emails were enabled by default.
