A whole day without any questions.</p> <p>Just checking to see if the forums are working. </p> http://edublogs.org/forums/topic.php?id=8198#post-26790 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:47:08 +0000 kellypaynter 26790@http://edublogs.org/forums/ <p>I would love to know if anyone else has had this problem at their school. We use Edublogs for teachers and students frequently go on their teachers' blogs to download assignments, missed work, homework, etc.</p> <p>When we first started with EduBlogs, the kids (who are using IE7--we do not have the option to use another browser) would try to click on links that open in a NEW window. When they clicked on them, the window that they were trying to open would immediately close out, plus the original IE window would also close. (Links that open in the same window were not problematic.)</p> <p>Our county finally fixed this problem. Now we have another, similar problem that they can't seem to fix. When students click on a link to open/download any kind of file, like a Word or Excel document, it looks like the program is going to open (very briefly), then the whole program/file closes as well as the original IE window. This only happens when a student is in an EduBlogs blog...it doesn't happen if they are trying to open/download a file through another website.</p> <p>Any advice or similar situations? Any fixes? Thanks! </p> http://edublogs.org/forums/topic.php?id=6418#post-17039 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 23:56:56 +0000 alittle 17039@http://edublogs.org/forums/ <p>Is there any way to see a list of the email addresses that have subscribed to my blog using the widget i placed on the page? </p> http://edublogs.org/forums/topic.php?id=8215#post-26854 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:12:56 +0000 bensab 26854@http://edublogs.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Our school has just set up class blogs.

I had a go myself and right enough, when you follow the normal procedures and click on 'insert in post', all that appears is the text description of the audio file with no ability to actually play or listen to the file.<br /> I know that it was working fine a couple of weeks ago as I was presenting to a group of teachers and demonstrated how to add audio, so it only seems to be a very recent issue for us. Can you advise or have a look for us and see if you get the same problem?<br /> Many thanks in advance,<br /> Marybank Primary, Scotland </p> http://edublogs.org/forums/topic.php?id=8195#post-26769 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:07:59 +0000 scotisle 26769@http://edublogs.org/forums/ <p>I have a list of 250 users who have accounts with our edublogs site, but need to be added to a specific blog to post items, not just comments.
