What's a good method that I can utilize to convert my files to .pdf format easily without having to download anything? I've tried installing a printer add-on program to my Word, but that basically crashed it, so I'm looking for alternative methods that aren't too difficult to use. I have some resourceful things (practice math portfolios, practice history IA (under the new mark scheme of 25), French resources, etc.), and I'd love to post them on the site!

Just wondered why "the local time" shown on my member profile hasn't realised that it's summer time, when all other times shown on ibsurvival have changed.

This is a somewhat cool idea. Make a chat section in the forum where students can ask questions to each other and answer each other's doubts. Get multiple rooms for different subjects. Many online rooms for cooperative revision. I think it's an owning idea. Comments?

I recommended a few of my friends to come here and register... but apparently, they'd rather "just lurk". I'm fine with this, really, but it's a bit disheartening to hear your friends ask you to get them stuff on the forum. One of my friends kept on badgering me to "post more" so I would gain VIP status and "get files for her". I told her "no" and advised her to register and become a VIP subscriber / VIP member herself. Needless to say, she became angry. Still, I didn't cave to her requests. So anyhow, I was just wondering... have any of you admins/mods ever thought about making the forum private? I mean, it'd discourage a lot of the lurking that people do... and als…

I'm almost done with IB, 47 days away from final exam and i really hate this system. geniuses over cardiff being too idealistic and doesnt care about reality. i have about 3000 past papers in my hand, literally every paper in every subject, every timezone and every level. but i have no way to distribute it as it is illegal. i am very annoyed that I cannot put in in everywhere as i wish to help out all the other IB students.

Hi, I am a newcomer to this forum and I want to know whether the admin can reduce the price for purchasing the VIP membership in USD terms, and I would like to purchase it in USD terms because there's extra charge involved to use my US visa card to make online purchases in foreign currencies. Now 1 GBP is around 1.4USD but I can't see that this is the case for this site. site: 8 GBP to 15.74 USD, this is outdated as this price is quoted shortly before the financial tsunami now, after the depreciation of major European currencies against the USD, shouldn't 8 GBP be equal to 11.2 USD or something similar? -----------------------------------------------------------------…

I don't know why, but these past days, it was kinda hard for me to come to the forum. I'm using Firefox, but nowadays, when I type in the address, it often says that this is an unvalid site. (Even though I'm perfectly sure that I haven't mistyped. I favorited the forum, so it can't be.) I have to restart my computer (only firefox itself when I'm lucky) to come into the site. Is it only me or does some people have the same problem? Besides, I'm using a German network.

How do people gain VIP status before they reach the minimum post count? It was said in a couple of threads that people who are actively contributing to the site would get VIP’ed. I’ve uploaded files of some of my past papers plus college essays and posted in the forum (both asking for help, answering questions, and general chatting). I do see the value of this site and don’t plan on all of a sudden abandoning the site once I get VIP status, but I don’t really see how I will be able to reach the 100 minimum post count with all of my IB and extracurricular activities. I do plan on continuing to contribute even after I graduate, but I feel like I would have been cheated in a…

When I created an account on this website, a couple of months ago, I asked myself what I, myself, would possibly get out of it. The site wasn't really as active as it is now, and there was only a 50 post requirement for VIP status. Apparently, the people on this site try to "help" each other, and when you "help" enough people, you get that luxurious VIP beside your name. Actually, its more of a + sign, but meh. Anyway, even with my lack of free time, I thought I would join the site for the lulz, and maybe help a few IB students that I could relate to - stuff that I was going through, or have already been through. To add to that, I learned that 50 posts was a "download" r…

I was going to purchase VIP membership through Paypal, because I got a message like this: "You have reached a limit on your ability to send money. Please link and confirm a debit or credit card to lift this limit." But I've already linked and confirmed the credit card, so I shouldn't have any limit to send money. (i just joined Paypal last week, and it is the first time to use Paypal) Do you know how to solve this problem? I wish I can use another way to purchase VIP, but I don't know how to.. please help me!

Now, this must seem like a very silly question... but my mother implored me to ask it before I used her credit card to buy a VIP membership here. (It would take me a long time to reach 100 posts, heh.) Is it safe to use a credit card on this site to buy this membership? I just had to ask, so I can hear all the reassurances. I mean, what has been done to ensure that it [i]is[/i] safe to pay with a credit card? Or something. (I hope this isn't a duplicate... Saw lots of questions about becoming a VIP, but not about if using a credit card is safe.)

Hey! Well I have been posting in this forum for quite a while even though I only posted whenever i felt it was needed. So it took me a while to reach the 50 post mark. But now that I am there...I am not a VIP? Has the post number to become a VIP raised or is it an error?

Why does it say that I have only 14 posts? It doesn't change after I've posted and I'm aiming to get to VIP level. (No, not by spamming but trying to be useful.) Edit: Now it changed to 15 Does it only change when I write something "useful"?

I urgently need to get a VIP pass on this site. I clicked on the "buy a paid subscription" button in the Control Panel and created a Paypal account using my dad's credit card. However, when I thought I would be able to buy the pass, the site said a four letter code needed to activate the account (found at the end of the credit card statement) is needed first. I just asked my dad to check his credit card statement, but nada. I think this may be because we don't use an American bank, but an Asian one. Any ideas/suggestions/helpful comments would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

To the Forum administrators how am i suppose to gain VIP status by submitting my own essays when you guys claim that it hasnt been moderated by IB, therefore you cant accept it?! if thats the case, then i'll never gain access to the downloadable files without paying the 5 pounds!!! am i right in saying this?

Well I've been reading on the forums many of the questions are related to whether people should keep subjects at HL or SL depending on their career choices like X wants to be an engineer should they have chem HL or chem SL,maybe a small thread on what works for what career could help people out .I could comment on engineering but I'm sure there are people who could comment on other fields. Is this a good idea ?

I was just thinking that since there are more people on the forum, and some actively posting, perhaps it's worth making the downloads only available to those who we htink deserve them. What I mean by this is simply that instead of there being a 10 post requirement, it's simply a matter of adding the user to the VIP group, for example. This way, a member has to prove that he/she is able to contribute a little bit before getting all the candy. B) Your thoughts?

I've noticed that lately the page has been getting slower, which can only mean that there are new members and more additions to the page. But my question was regarding the Pro style compared to the Survival one: Is there a difference in the refresh rates and the time to upload each page? or it doesnt make a difference which one you use?

All right, I've been thinkin about this for a while now, and I think it's an awsome idea, but it might be hard to integrate into the webpage. What if we had a place were we could just chat. Not a forum, but more like a big chat room like an msn place were you just need to be logged on to go in. That way all the people who are on can talk about things there as well as in the forums. It would probably decrease the number of posts, but it would definately make communicating super easy. And there could be private rooms or MAYBE even something like VENTRILO were we can chat by typing and talk at the same time, it would DEFINATELY help when trying to explain an IA to someone. …

To my utter concern and total disappointment I realized that ibsurvival lacks a favicon; that is, a small icon for the website that is displayed just left of the URL at the top of your browser as well as in your bookmarks list. I made one for you guys from the latest logo of the IBO -- it's properly formatted but before use it has to be renamed favicon.ico. I think it gives a nice, unique touch to the site on everyone's bookmark lists! I've attached two versions that differ in the way they are compressed, but it should make no practical difference on appearance. Dumping the file into to the root directory should be enough to enable the icon -- no changes should be necess…
