IB Resource News

May 4, 2008 The phpBB forum has been restored, updated to 3.0.1, and purged of spam messages and fake accounts. For the time being, new registrations have been suspended. Existing members can continue to post messages.

April 29, 2008 The phpBB forum has been swamped with over 8,000 spam messages and has been taken offline temporarily. It will return using a more robust CMS, or as an archive of posted messages.

March 3, 2006 Major updates to the Forum and Moodle software. phpBB is now at 2.0.19 and Moodle is at 1.5.3.

December 20, 2004 Security updates to the Forum and Moodle software. phpBB is now at 2.0.11 and Moodle is at 1.4.3.

September 17, 2004 The Moodle software has been updated to Version 1.4.1. In other news, a Google search for "IB+resource" now gives this site as the top listing. Wow!

September 3, 2004 The Moodle section of the IB Resource site has been updated to Version 1.4. Course admins now have the option of allowing guest access to their courses.

August 23, 2004 The IB Resource site has a new home with a new name: ibhelp.com. This is shorter and easier to remember than the current www.ib.notlong.com shortcut, so if you have posted links from your own sites, please update with the new URL. Many thanks!

August 22, 2004 Over the last few days both the primary and secondary name servers for this site have been behaving erratically. Users may have experienced problems accessing the site via the www.buda.cache.waseda.ac.jp domain name.

Unfortunately both the servers are located in an office at Waseda University in Japan and the administrator is on extended sabbatical leave.

Consequently I've decided to move the IB Resource website to a new host with a new domain name, and keep the current host as a backup.

August 21, 2004 At last! The IB Resource site has finally begun to appear in the Google listings. Many thanks to all those of you who helped by posting links from your own sites.

August 9, 2004 The site will be unavailable from approximately 0800 to 1800 hrs Japan Time (2300-0900 hrs GMT). This is because of a scheduled power outage in the building where the server is located. Sorry for the inconvenience!
