    As a work-around, after you get the timed-out error message, go to the JSON tab (it still works), select and copy all of it. Then reload the page and log in. Immediately go to the JSON tab and select-all (ctrl-a) then paste it all back in. Click Save Model at the top and all your changes will be there. Hope this helps. I have to do it all the time!!

  10. Forcing a user to remember a skill name is counter-intuitive, bad experience and leads to low adoption rates.

    Comments make sense, but this would be a super-valuable enhancement, if implemented correctly and no abused.

    This is a very important element of a "real", practical, and respectful user interface. Imagine a computer screen offering an option to the user, then taking it away if they don't decide within 8 seconds!

    Or, if they take 2 tries correcting what "the computer misunderstood" (from the users point of view), then she just hangs up on you, instead of giving you unlimited opportunities.

    This is REALLY important!!
