Outlook 2013 Ribbon Keeps Hiding in Office 365

After playing around with the new (totally disappointing) Outlook 2013 I found that the ribbon would keep hiding.

Import KB Articles from Microsoft CRM to Zendesk

Zendesk KB Import Tool / Sync We have created a tool that allows the importing of Microsoft CRM (IFD) into your Zendesk setup. The simple tool will look at your Microsoft CRM 2011 Articles (also known as KB articles) and draw them into your Zendesk support portal.

DotNetNuke – Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Web.UI' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference.

After upgrading a DNN website, we received this error message. The underlying cause of the problem is sloppy release version upgrades of the DNN core product. The issue is that the release.config file in the update versions of DNN references older versions of the Telerik.Web.UI .dll file in the /bin folder of the install versions of DNN. This means that the settings in your newly updated web.config file are referencing an old version of the Telerik file. The fix is easy Right click on the Telerik.Web.UI.dll file in your sites /bin folder. If the file is not there, then download the install version of your DNN site package from http://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com Then extract the file to the /bin folder. Look at the version number of the file. Edit your web.config file to match this data: Save and you are done.
