Abu Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I am really interested in putting up some files, but besides being computer illiterate, the only computer in the house runs on Korean (which is my parents 1st but my 2nd langauge). I can't even open your explanation of how to change to pdf files because apparently the computer doesn't have the capacity to do it (from my understanding), which I don't understand because I've got adobe on it. would you be able to tell me in a few sentences where I would find the save as pdf function roughly? (therefore i can match up the position even if I don't understand it). Thanks so much.The Save as PDF is not a default option on a Windows machine. If you're not able to save as PDF, don't bother, just upload as is and we'll sort it out. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Lc~ Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Really?... because I've seen many people on this website with 70+ posts who are not VIPed yet.I'm just wondering... is there any other criteria (e.g. minimum number of files uploaded) that are required (I checked the FAQs before posting, it doesn't mention so... so I'm just asking out of curiousity) I've just seen this sorry, but we've changed the rules to 100 posts funnily enough we started with 1 post, up to 10 to 50 and now 100 to spare the moderating team from deleting 100 spam posts a day!

deissi Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 What you have on your computer is Adobe Reader, which only reads PDF files, it doesn't know how to make them. You should download a software like CutePDF (free), with which you can convert files into pdf. Once you have CutePDF installed you just click on Print when you have the file open (as you would if you were to print it on paper), and as your printer choose CutePDF writer, which will then create the PDF file.

Vvi Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'm having problems uploading, the bar loads and when all the content is finished uploading (e.g. 1.35 MB out of 1.35 MB), a red box comes up saying "Upload skipped Error 403". I looked up the error online and it said it has to do with the server and "Forbidden" or something. Is the problem with my computer or just the site? I uploaded several files this morning and it worked fine then. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruan Chun Xian Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Sorry we can be pretty slow in moving them procrastination and all. At the moment the forum just got upgraded and so it's a bit slow, I'm waiting for everything to stabilise to look into it (that and the fact that I'm busy beyond belief these days and sorting out the contributions take a fair bit of time) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwich Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 i want to know for what to do is to be said that i have value in this website..?and what should i do and then i can download files from the website.In order to download files you must have VIP membership. You can do this either by paying £8 for a year (or £12 for two years), or by contributing meaningful posts / your own work and notes (not real coursework, though, unless you've already finished your IB course) to the forum. You become a VIP automatically at 100 posts, or, if you're being useful and helpful around the forum, can be made a VIP earlier at the discretion of the admin team (to my knowledge ). All this is in the Help section. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmak Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Quick question before I start uploading practice papers... are they to be handwritten or typed? All of my mock exams from school are handwritten, and have handwritten notes from the teacher on them. Should I type them up and then submit them, or submit them as is? My handwriting is very neat and readable... but I was just wondering. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My handwriting is very neat and readable... but I was just wondering. How are you going to submit them? Scan them? As long as they're in PDF format then it's fine. In fact people literally can't copy and paste so it might be even better . Thanks. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
