On LDS Tech, you can participate in both a forum and wiki to ask questions, contribute your knowledge, and keep updated with new content. Forums differ from wikis in several major ways:
Forum
The forum allows you to post questions and respond to other members. You typically post to the forum when you have a question to ask, when you're unsure about something, or when you want to raise a discussion about an issue.
New forum threads remain indefinitely on the site until new threads push them out of visibility. After that, users primarily find forum information through keyword searches or by drilling into forum categories.
When you click a thread, the earliest posts are shown at the top by default, with the latest post at the end of the thread. You can reverse this order through your forum settings (go to Forum > Forum Actions > General Settings). On this same Settings page, you can also choose how many posts show per page.
As you read the threads, make sure you look at the timestamp of each post as you evaluate its information. Forum threads aren't meant to be edited after posting, so sometimes posts become dated and inaccurate as time passes. You can also assess the credibility of post authors by looking at their number of forum posts and the date they joined the forum.
To see new posts in the forum, click the What's New button. If you're logged in, What's New shows all the latest posts since your last visit. After you view a post, it disappears from the list of What's New posts. If you're not logged in, What's New only shows the posts added in the last 24 hours; the posts also remain visible even after you click them.
To learn more about the Forum, see the Forums FAQ page.
Wiki
The wiki contains reference and how-to information for a variety of Church technologies. In contrast to the forum, which consists of questions and answers, the wiki is intended to capture answers and how-to information. Ideally, when a solution or nugget of information is posted to the forum, that information should be transferred to the wiki. Each wiki page is an article rather than an open-ended discussion or conversation.
Although the wiki and forum are skinned to look similar, they are actually separate platforms (vBulletin and Mediawiki). Searches on the forum do not automatically include wiki results, and searches on the wiki do not show forum results. If you're searching for information, you need to search both sites. You also need to log in to each site separately.
Although wikis are designed more for reference information and less for conversation, each wiki page also has a Discussion page. If you have a question or issue about content on the wiki, you can raise your concern on the Discussion page for that wiki article. You can also make direct edits to the wiki articles. Editing the wiki is expected, and you shouldn't feel reservations about changing "someone else's content." On the wiki, the content belongs to everyone. Through successive edits from multiple people, the content becomes more refined and accurate.
To stay updated with edits to wiki pages, you can "watch" a wiki page. Log in to the site, navigate to a wiki page, and then click the Watch button. When someone makes an edit to the page, you'll receive an e-mail. You can then review the edits by comparing revision histories. If you think the edit takes a step backwards rather than forwards, you can undo the revision. The History tab for each page shows you these options. To ensure you receive updates for pages you're watching, check your settings under My Preferences and make sure your e-mail address and notification options are up to date. You can also view new additions to the wiki by clicking Recent Changes link in the wiki footer.
For more information about working with the wiki, see the Wiki Guidelines.
Community Moderation
Both the forum and wiki are community-moderated sites. The majority of the forum discussions and wiki articles are created and driven by community members, not Church employees. Church employees may participate in some forum threads and add wiki articles as needed, but by and large these sites are community moderated, with community volunteers playing key roles in responding to discussions and adding new articles.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
When I follow the instructions it said to sinc now in he settings and to wait until the numbers pending goes to O. I am signed in to my LDS account when I do this but nothing happens. I am hoping to get some help here.
I need a video from a service group. The service group is not knowledgeable to do this. They have claimed to not help. I am trying to be self sufficient to help myself and others but, with stumbling blocks I can not.
Specific Help needed:
LDSJOBS Detroit has a mock interview taped. I want to review it. It is of me, Brian Allan Stott. The LDSJOBS office does not have the skill. I have not access to TechSupport. You need to be much more accessable.

I checked your permissions and you seem to have access to post there.

This is in MLS only.
Thank You

Great question, thanks for the inquiry. We are working to update the iOS SM app to make it available in the Fall. Sorry for the delay to your needs. FYI, www.sm.lds.org is currently available. (You will need internet access to use it). It is available in multiple languages and has all of the updated scriptures.
There is also an updated android version available.
Thanks again for the inquiry,
Cody Loveland

There are some publications that have issues with formatting in the current version of the app. However, the fact that all publications you visit have this issue is a little odd.
Are you currently running version 1.14.2.232 of the app? You can see the version of the app by bringing up the charms bar within the app (Windows Key + C), clicking "Settings" and "About."
1.14.2.232 is the must up-to-date version of the app in public release for Windows. This version of the app requires Windows 8.1 (a free update available in the Windows Store). This update should fix some issues with older content and make available much of the new content.
Keep in mind that some of the new content is not able to be formatted properly in the current version of the app (including new manuals). The new release of the app, currently in development, uses an entirely new rendering engine. We hope to have this new version of the app available soon.
Unfortunately, it seems like your issue is unresolvable at this time.
We are actively working on getting the new version of the app available as soon as possible. It is, however, a complete rewrite of the code and is taking a fair amount of time. You will, however, quite love the new app when it is available.
I am unable to sign in. starts to download info then fails with a generic message; try again later.
Any known time for correction?

MLS custom reports can do this and the "Member List" in the online version also looks like what you want.

When I attempt to use the print function while viewing Stake Leaders and Organizations directory on lds.org, I get an incomplete PDF file and infinite table loop error on various pages, depending on how many detail types (address, email, phone) I select on the PDF Print Preview page.
LDS single signon is accomplished using back end systems. It will only work on *.lds.org or similar internal systems.
I've been called as the Stake YSA Secretary and have tried to find a template of an agenda online for Leadership and Committee meetings but haven't had any luck.
Is it possible to have a couple made up?
Please let me know as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
Celeste Riwai.
Macarthur Stake, Sydney, Australia.
