Agreed. I’ve made several tickets for these:

https://issues.bestpractical.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=31462 Better, standalone externalauth documentation
https://issues.bestpractical.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=31463 Replace ExternalAuth example for @Plugins in RT_Config
https://issues.bestpractical.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=31464 Add ExternalAuth settings to RT_Config doc

Sorry we overlooked especially the last one there.

Agreed. I have more ambitious plans for the query builder, so we’ll see…

*nod* There’s ways to hide some of the chrome in some of the browsers, so I’m on board with doing that. What browser are you using, and what specifically would you like to hide?
