Ok here's where you report small bugs around the forum Shoutbox was on every page but now moved to its places as before. Spoiler tags currently not working, according to deissi. -Actually I just checked...it's working...for me, so it might just be deissi. :/ The "post by" thing is not working. I tried posting this as Admin. Didn't work. [This doesn't affect any of you except the admins so don't worry. ] Anything else?

Why do we have a swear filter? The people who view this forum should be, by definition, at least 16. The few who have got into IB at younger ages are in all likelihood ahead of their peers in terms of intelligence and maturity, so even that shouldn't be a problem. I think it's a little insulting to be subject to such childish a system, when clearly we are mature and intelligent individuals. Look at the discussion going in the debate forum! I don't think anyone's going to giggle too much if you let "****" be seen in all its vulgar glory. It's not even a matter of being able to swear. It's a matter of principle. Why sacrifice any amount of clarity when the only reason again…

Hey IB survival people. I am an IB graduate from Nov. 2010 and I would like to propose the creation of a new forum that reviews all of the textbooks for IB courses. I believe it will be a great tool for users, as the amount of publishers of IB textbooks is really growing. So, basically my idea is a separate forum that reviews the IB textbooks, you know course companions, pearson´s, study guides, osc revision guides, among others. I think that users need to know the features of the different IB publishers. This would help a lot in avoiding the purchase of wrong textbooks as well as the disillusionment of several publishers. Can some moderator or administrator tell me if …

I feel sorta dumb asking this, but I don't understand how to access the group 4 forum! When I'm logged out, on the main page of the IB survival forum there's a link to 'group 4 projects' listed under 'experimental sciences'. However, when I'm logged in the link is no longer there. I don't understand; is this a bug or something?? If someone could let me know how to access the G4 problem that would be much appreciated.

I have a bad habit of never proof reading what I type and in most cases I end up writing either homonyms (e.g. "right" instead of "write") or leaving out letters (e.g. "say" instead of "saying"). Can you please add the option of editing or deleting comments we write on other people's profiles?

Hi, I'm a VIP user on IB survival and I just recently subscribed. I uploaded 4 documents in the history section for students to use, and I continued the next day with another 6-7 documents. I received notifications that the first four had been approved almost immediately after I uploaded the documents, but the ones I added the next day are not displaying on my "files" section on my profile. Is this because they have not been approved or because I have don the process incorrectly? If they have not been approved, does anyone know the time span in which I can expect the documents to be approved and posted? Thanks so much, Sincerely, Juli

I've noticed that the entire time I've been here, my posts have been edited and deleted with NO notification or reason giving to me. Most recent has been in the DJing for CAS thread where it's obvious I had a post there and now it's gone and I haven't been given feedback on to how I can avoid meeting the mysterious criteria of unacceptable.

So I saw that Desy said that the forum is pretty dead (on the shoutbox), and I thought of a pretty neat way we could get more members. Basically, most members go to IB Schools right? And IB Schools are full of IB Students. And IB Students are the niche that this forum targets. Hence, if we could get word of mouth referrals going through the students, we could easily gain more members who would hopefully see how useful this forum is, and stick around. So I was thinking maybe start a referral competition that lasts for a month or two, and whoever has the most referrals at the end of it gets free VIP for a month or something? I also suggest that we have an Introductions sect…

I dunno, when I joined (and for a few weeks after that), I was completely oblivious to the links section, and it is really quite helpful. I was thinking that it would be cool to create a forum section that when clicked redirects to the links? Maybe just put it under General, and call it Links, etc?

IB Survival Logo 1 2 3

Well, it's about time we get a new logo for IB Survival. We need a logo to represent what we do, who we are, and what we are here for... I'm no artist, and unfortunately I am therefore somewhat limited in my creativity. However, I figure that out of the thousands of people here, some of you must have some ideas! Now, I'm going to turn this into a competition if I can, where the best contributions can get prizes (maybe money, maybe special gifts? All to be decided!). In essence, at the moment I'm starting with a blank slate, so any ideas can be put forward. What I would really like is for you all to post ideas, images, photos (anything really) that you think would suit IB…

I was actually surprised to not see a section for Pre-IBers and MYP students when I first joined. (Middle Years Program, grades 7-10, for those that might not know) It would be extremely useful, both in providing advice and in promoting discussions about projects. The Personal Project by itself is a huge topic. From just choosing a suitable topic, to actually carrying it out and writing the final reflection, it's an incredibly confusing and harried process for most people I know. Wouldn't it be useful to have a forum dedicated to young IBers? Then there's also things like IAs and Museum Projects for History, not to mention ISPs for English. I'm not 100% sure if these proj…

I've been in the forum game for a while, ive created a few forums(which I know got rid of, to focus on school ;P), and most forums ive seen have a kind of important section at the top, with announcements, and all that. Maybe consider having one of those? Also, an introductions section for new users would be nice.

I'm only asking this because I am very curious. The reason being is that, from what I can tell, most of the moderators are in IB or have recently finished IB, so who actually came up with IBS and who designed the site??? Is there place where the answers for this can be found? Am I looking in the wrong forum?

On the top right of my post, my 'status' appears twice? It's not realy major unless someone has a really long status, as then it would cover some of their post. But yeah, any chance we could get that fixed? If you guys don't know how, just go into the templates system, find showthread(or something like that), and copy and paste whatever's in there into here, and i'll try to correct it for you(no guarantees, but it looks like some code has been accidently repeated).

"If you are submitting an IA, please ensure that it has been through IB moderation i.e. it has been marked by an IB examiner and you have received a grade for it. If we post an IA that has been unmoderated, turnitin.com will detect it and the IB will declare your IA plagiarised. Therefore, save yourself the embarrassment and only post IAs that have been marked by the IBO." I read this on the announcement, and was a tad puzzled. Does this mean that I cannot download my Physics SL IA's because my labs were not sent to the IBO for the moderation? My labs were not selected to be moderated but I already tested out of that class, so does this mean I can still be trouble for pla…

Hello. I'm relatively new to this forum, however, when I first registered I was kind of put off at first because of the vastness of the site. There are so many forums and posts that maybe someone new wouldn't know where to start. Therefore, why don't the IBS send a "Beginner's Guide" (using e-mail) to the new users, stating where they could get started, where they could introduce themselves etc. The IBS does have access to e-mail addresses of the users, right? The guide can be made very friendly and stuff (maybe include an example of one of the more entertaining threads or a screenshot of the arcade). It would state all the basic rules and stuff as well. That way, new u…

I've been bothered a while by all the announcements that you have to scroll through to get to the forum itself so I wonder if you can't combine a few of them. As in General Discussion, "Rules and FAQ - must read!" and "Welcome to IB Survival!", is the first one really necessary as it says so in the welcome message? The announcement about the contribution method ("Important - Introducing Files system and new contribution method!") and the important announcement that is on the top of the page is basically about the same thing so is it not enough with one announcement? I think this is pretty important because, at least for me, I'm not sure I would notice when new announcemen…

I think the requirements should be changed, not so that they are easier to reach, but so that they apply for everyone. The reason for this is that I have reached the VIP but have been restricted from downloading files, so why not change the requirements so that this sort of restriction on some VIP members does not have to be put into place? Why not have the requirements as something like: "be a member for a minimum of ** months with an average post count of ** posts per day"? This way you can have a minimum post count as well as ensure that they'll be on the site for a while and not just quickly get the posts and have to be restricted. What do you think?

It seems if you have HTML in your sig, your signature doesn't display properly on your profile, it just prints the html code. I switched back to using bbcode but just thought I'd post it here in case. As for the suggestion, I was hoping if it would be possible to have the lines adjusted a bit in the signatures, it looks like I'm skipping a whole line in mine. Plus, the preview in the Edit Signature section looks different from what you see in posts thanks to that Anyways, I tried adding "line-height: 1;" to the signature block in the ipb_style.css and it seems to fix everything.. So I guess that's my suggestion, adding a line to the css Would appreciate it though, makes…

Hello. How about having some kind of rating system for the files that the users have contributed? Therefore, the people that have downloaded the files can rate how useful they found it. It could be on a scale of one to five or one to ten. It doesn't matter really. It just has to be easily noticeable, easily understood and easy to use. What do you think?
