Re: online Library Science degree (not Baha'i-related)

Thanks, Dame! Yes, we do get a ton of spam. To cut it off before it gets posted, we have a couple security things turned on. First, we approve all new registrations before people can post, and usually it's easy to tell what's a spammer name (like xqxpx321) vs a real name (like fred22). Second, all p...

online Library Science degree (not Baha'i-related)

I just got an email asking me to link to http://librarysciencedegree.org/ . I assumed it was link-exchange spam, which I get dozens of a week, but it looks legit. I'm so happy to get an (apparently) legitimate link-exchange request that I've posted it here. :santaclaus: Here's the blurb I received: ...

Re: Do you want to help proofread Baha'i Writings?

Thank you, Sara! Please do consider contacting the Proofreading Project (email address given above). I would love to have your help proofing material at this website, but truthfully I think your efforts would be better spent with them, because this Baha'i Library is pretty much a one-person project ...

Re: Why men are (almost) never depressed ;-)

Well, I don't know anything about tanks, but the rest is pretty spot-on. No lines at the washroom is probably the biggest perk.

Re: smilies arent loading

BTW, it appears that a few years ago I installed a duplicate of smileys in German. I'm clearing out the duplicates now, but there will still remain a few that have German listed for the "emotion" code. The software is still buggy, I can't install new smileys because I keep getting an error...

Re: Is everything working?

Thanks! I'll un-sticky this post.

BTW, I restored the 1997-2003 archive. There are some gems in there (along with some junk, of course.)
