I have a student using an Emac with Mac OS 9.2 with Internet Explorer for Mac (version 5.2.2) and dial up internet service. Problem is that when he accesses our classes, his browser only loads about half the class and doesn't show up the right side "Announcements" and "Recent Activity." I'm unfamiliar with MacIntosh. Anybody have any ideas or encountered this problem? Please reply.
Thanks,
Kevin K.
The problem is only related to the main course pages---not the front MOODLE page! The main course page will load the first 7 topics----then cut off the bottom. It completely removes the right side menus (latest news" and "announcements" and recent activity")
Its not related to screen settings, we've gone from 800 x 600 up to 1200 x 768.
It's almost like a display cashe being filled, you can't scroll down below topic #7 and we have like 25 topics for this course----this is the only time we've seen this and it has to be with a MAC! ANy ideas??

Fine job as always Martin---CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Joe---
Just a note---I personally know of a lot of improvements that were made to MOODLE that were paid for directly to Martin by the Academy of Nursing. Therefore---before you go shooting your mouth off---be informed! The Academy does not sell software or the platform, it is simply using it to deliver it's own courses, that it designed! We have always appreciated, contributed, and supported Martin, and will continue to do so. There is no requirment in the licence agreement to place the logo at the bottom of the page---read it sometime! The reason that it has been ommitted is to keep our competitors from finding things easily---nobody came to us and told us about MOODLE---we found it and have used it for the last year!!!! Thanks again Martin for the fine work and the support you have offered to us over the last year! KUDOS!

Being a proud supporter of open source and being someone who has free ware and share ware on the net. I agree with Joe, if you are looking for an edge then you should pay for a privet custom copy that is yours and yours alone, with the author indorsing your product as your own. Paying for setup and support is a different issue. To pay and say I now own this product is where you have the freedom to remove the rightful owners link and credits.
But if you are paying for enhancements and support then you are supporting not owning the product.
Sorry for detracting from this discussion, but I am having trouble finding a nice Moodle icon that I can put on my public web pages. My stuff is set up as a public access web (http://danielson.laurentian.ca/drdnotes/default.htm) with a link in the top right hand corner to the password protected course management site. Originally I was using WebCT, so used the professor icon with a hyperlink to my WebCT system. After WebCT I moved to ILIAS and used the nice simple blue ILIAS icon, again with a link to the ILIAS system on my server. Now I am using Moodle, but for some reason, have not been able to find a cute icon to replace WebCT's Mr. Professor or ILIAS' text icon. Maybe it is staring me in the face, but I can't find one. For awhile I thought about using the smily face used as the default icon for people's pictures, but abandoned it because it seemed too silly. As you can see, right now I am using a very plain hyperlinked word "Moodle." It does the job but doesn't look very good. My web needs all the design help it can get. I need a picture.
Is there a Moodle icon which for some reason (e.g. old age, poor vision, low IQ, low speed internet connection) I can't see? If so please point me to it and I will start changing all the old course management icons which exist on my public access web pages. Thanks.

) for the range of images desired? With such guidance, I could see about having some made.
Thanks. It's better than my arial text.
