Every couple months our alerting system warns us that our application disk space has reached full capacity because the Clean Temporary Directory task sometimes stops working. I'm in contact with Atlassian regarding this but I'm also wondering if other customers have had this problem and if you have found a solution.

Why is it when I resize the table width to "100%" it comes out perfectly on Confluence but not to the PDF Export? Am I doing something wrong?

The application disk space for our Confluence site is always full even when we continue to give it more storage. What could be causing this? Between 2:00am and 3:00am it drops, then drops again between 5:00am and 6:00am. Sometimes the application disk space improves but overall it decreases. I understand why the database…

My company is asking about the general ticket price to attend the Atlassian Summit?

Within our organisation we could be running 65 projects or more at one time. Each project should contain their own decision logs, sprints, meeting notes, project scope, action logs, support document, etc... Is it best to create a space for each project or is it better to list every project into a single space? If we are to…

I want to update a plugin that is disabled that we are going to re-enable once the update is complete. Is it safe to do this whilst staff continue to read and update documentation?

Should we be updating the system plugins when upgrading the Confluence application or is it recommended to always keep them up to date. We noticed one of our system plugin was out of date, so we manually updated the system plugin on our test application. We noticed that the plugin moved from system plugin into User…

Is it possible to add new fields to the issue collector? I want to add a due date and label field if possible.

I've seen there is now a Planned changes in Confluence 7.0 page which provides detail about some of the different Atlassian Macros. Will the Create a Template macro have any updates? For me this is a key feature that is vital to our company. It helps us to set the standard for each space on where things need to go. The…

Does the Confluence Read-Only mode that was released in 6.11 work with Confluence Server or does this only work with the Data Center?

We get a lot of requests from staff wanting us to install new add-ons onto the site so that it does what they need it to do. How many plugins is too many? What are the risks with adding too much and when do you start saying no? 

One of our users has set up their own personal space. When they try to save a document, they get two errors. Error 1: Error Saving Draft. No draft has been saved. Error 2: Unable to communicate with server. Saving is not possible at the moment. If they create a page in a different space and save it, it works. I've exported…

I'm building a newsletter to share with our Confluence users. I want to include a riddle within this newsletter to get people thinking about the application. Is there anyone here who can come up with a killer conundrum?

I want to start reporting on pages being deleted and relocated. The CONTENT table doesn't give me the dates and times of when this happens.

I'm planning to upgrade a Confluence add-on early morning. I noticed we have 5 Scheduled Jobs running at this time. Would my plugin upgrade mess things up? I will need to make some configuration changes to the plugin settings too.

If we insert the Create from Template macro into the page, our users can still selecting their own template. The purpose of us using this macro is for them to use the template we need them to use. Can we have the ability to hide ?

What is the best way to allow our users to flag a page that has been created in the wrong location, is out of date, duplicated or poses a security risk? We have a growing concern over this and we want a quick way for our users to report a page to notify the page author, space owner and system administrator. Not everyone…

We're thinking about purchasing the Page View plugin to track all our traffic but I'm concerned this will quickly put a strain on our system performance based on how much data it will capture into the database. Can someone advice?

Our users are getting the Internet Explorer has stopped working bug whenever they're trying to preview a file on Confluence. Why is this happening? We're using IE 11.0.96. To complicate things further, we have discovered the preview window appears on certain computers but not on all of them. If someone who can't see the…

I'm investigating to find out if it is possible to create a date counter for Confluence for when a page has been created and modified (see example below). We are on a tight budget so we can't fork out money to pay for such feature. I was wondering if it possible to achieve this with User Macro? PageCounter.jpg

So I just seen on the Confluence Development Release page that Confluence 6.7 is coming. The New Confluence experience will be released with that update. What is everyone's thoughts on this? Confluence 6.7

Hi there, A lot of our users are starting to use Confluence to save database tables like a data dictionary. Is this the most efficient way to do this? What are your experiences and what is the best way to set this up? Thanks Martin

We can query the Confluence database to show who has landed on a page with the following query: SELECT CONTENT_ID,TITLE,SPACENAME,LAST_VIEW_DATE,user_name,display_nameFROM AO_92296B_AORECENTLY_VIEWED LEFT JOIN user_mapping ON AO_92296B_AORECENTLY_VIEWED.USER_KEY = user_mapping.user_keyLEFT JOIN cwd_user ON…

I'm using CamStudio to record my screen to create video tutorials for our users. When I play back the clip it works perfectly fine whilst browsing and using the search engine. As soon as I go into edit mode the playback starts to flicker. I've gone onto google and tried using all kinds of suggestions but nothing has…

Is there a way to seach for spaces created by Unknown User? By this I mean users who no longer have their account.
