Helpful Hints While Working in CP5

CP5, or Polopoly, has a lot of quarks. Hell, Movable Type has a lot of quarks. I will be using this post to document them as best as I can. This is more for my staff at The BG News, but may be useful for anyone else who is working with CP5.

If you create a Teaser element, then change the article's copy after you make said Teaser, you must delete the Teaser element and recreate it. The Teaser does not seem to update.
CP5 handles the way the main RSS and section RSS feeds work very oddly. I will cover this in its own post, and link to it here.
You cannot use Safari. I have no problem with this as I really dislike it. But a lot of people use Safari. A lot of the functionality of Polopoly works only in Firefox (or IE I assume, but I don't work on a Windows). The latest issue I have found was an editor tried to make edits to an existing article in Safari and when they saved, his changes were not.
Every night between 9 and 9:30 PM EST there is scheduled server maintenance. This brings the admin interface for CP5 to a screeching halt, or just gives you a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable. This may affect you like it did us this week, as we needed to post some breaking news shortly after 9 PM, and could not.

I will add more as I come across them/remember them. If any of these are wrong, I will delete them. Some of these may just be because I am not doing something the way CP5 wants me to do it.
