Hi Jenny

The first thing to check is whether you were still logged in when you googled yourself.

Go to http://schoolofeverything, and if you can see a link in the top right hand corner that says 'Logout' then click on this. Then google your name again - the result that appears will be what anyone other than you sees when they click on your profile.

If you're still seeing the orange boxes let me know!

I like this idea, Redkruzer. How can School of Everything help? (Can you find some videos of people teaching how to become a street musician? We'd love that...)

OK, it's not supposed to do that! The tech team is aware of it and we'll try and figure out what's going on. Thanks for letting us know,

Mary

Mary Harrington replied on September 04, 2008 17:06 to the problem "Autocomplete sticks on "GNU/Linux"" in School of Everything:

OK, so just to be clear: did the autocomplete do this a) when you first created your teaching profile and filled in the keywords, or b) when you went to add subsequent keywords using the field on the published teaching profile?

In my response above I was referring to b) - but if you're referring to a) please let me know.

Mary Harrington replied on September 04, 2008 09:38 to the problem "Topic overlap: "Japanese" as well as "Japanese Language"" in School of Everything:

Thanks for the comment!

There are always tough choices to make in how you want to balance top-down taxonomy with folksonomy - restrict how people self-define, or risk creating duplicate tags?

As School of Everything grows, we're looking at ways of refining our current system so that it's easy to find everyone in your chosen subject while keeping self-tagging as free as possible - watch this space for updates.

Mary Harrington replied on September 04, 2008 09:28 to the problem "Autocomplete sticks on "GNU/Linux"" in School of Everything:

The field doesn't autocomplete for every item in a comma-separated list - it only recognises the first one.

To add more subject keywords, input one keyword or phrase and then click 'Submit', then repeat for further keywords.

So for example, you would input 'GNU/Linux', and click Submit; then 'Programming' and click Submit; and then any other subject keywords following the same process.

Glad that's working now!

Mary Harrington replied on September 03, 2008 17:22 to the question "Vancouver BC Canada not found? Huh?" in School of Everything:

Hi Eric, not sure what's going on but it shouldn't be a FF3.0 issue as that's what we're all using here.

If you tell me your username I can try and fix it for you.

Mary Harrington replied on September 03, 2008 17:03 to the question "Vancouver BC Canada not found? Huh?" in School of Everything:

Hi, have you tried inputting just 'Vancouver'? It should give you a list of options including Vancouver BC. I just tested it and that's definitely available. But if you're putting in 'Vancouver BC Canada as a whole string it may not recognise it.

Let me know how you get on.

Hi Gorgeoux

This feature will be implemented soon - we've just got a bit more work to do to make sure we get all the details right.

In the meantime, if you wish to delete your account please contact a School of Everything admin (feedback @ schoolofeverything.com) and we'll take care of it for you right away.

Hi all

There have been a number of complaints from SOE members about 'Dammy Bruce', including one who recognised the phrasing from a money laundering scam elsewhere.

Scammers and spammers will not be tolerated on School of Everything - we are investigating and will report this to the police if necessary.

Hey Lane,

Thanks for the response. It was doing something funny earlier - I logged in again as requested but it just bounced me right back to the login page even after that. I'm in now and taking a look at Help Center.

Cheers!
SM

I had a bit of a play - I get it now. Awesome! Really impressed, both with your responsiveness and also with the integration.

Mary Harrington replied on May 16, 2008 13:42 to the discussion "Losing the will" in School of Everything:

Studying alone is hard - can you suggest ways that School of Everything might be able to help independent learners find and support one another? We'd love to help if we can.

Mary Harrington replied on April 24, 2008 10:39 to the question "How do I add the place where I live?" in School of Everything:

If you're still having trouble after you've taken out the commas, let us know - sometimes places aren't in the Geonames database yet. Give us as much detail as you can about where you are and we'll add your location.

Bear in mind that it can take a little while for Geonames to update on our site.

Mary Harrington replied on April 23, 2008 16:10 to the question "What's the catch?" in School of Everything:

Many websites work best when there are lots of users - like MySpace or Facebook. We're like that too. So because we want lots of people signing up, we don't charge you to do so.

(We won't sell your user data or give anyone else your email address either, in case you were wondering).

If you have any other questions, or want to talk to a real person, give us a call on 020 8980 8435.

Mary Harrington asked a question in School of Everything on April 23, 2008 16:09:

What's the catch?

You're offering me free advertising for my teaching. Sounds great - but there's got to be a catch somewhere? A hidden cost or something?

Mary Harrington replied on April 23, 2008 16:06 to the problem "When I try to view messages my browser crashes - help!" in School of Everything:

The first person who reported this is using mac osx version 10.3.9 and browser safari 312.6. Any variations on this? Please tell us. Ta!

Mary Harrington replied on April 23, 2008 16:05 to the problem "When I try to view messages my browser crashes - help!" in School of Everything:

If you have this problem, can you tell us which browser and operating system you're using? We want to get it fixed - the more info we can get from people the quicker we can do this. Thanks!
