About the discussion forums
The forums are where most of the real work is done between sessions! Here is where I interact with students between sessions, offering insights and comments which they can access 24/7. I can also post any useful information I come across which may be relevant to my students' interests or assignments.
Each forum post consists of a topic; topics which receive several replies become discussion threads, which allow students to dive deep into issues and carry on important discussions which remain in their Space as long as they're a client. These threads can be used to prepare for written assignments as well as study for oral presentations and final exams.
How can students use the forums?
Motivated students can do lots with the forums! They can:
- Post questions about ideas arising from tutoring sessions or their English class
- Post assignments and essay prompts for us to work on between (and during) sessions
- Post research materials relating to their assignment(s)
- Carry on detailed discussions to build a sophisticated body of knowledge about an issue
And much more!
Check out the sample discussion threads for more information about how the forums can work for you or your student!

@petrichor, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Where does your friend live? Now America I hope...unfortunately, that place is a disaster and not getting better anytime soon.
I wish I could say more, but all I can really do is wish your friend well in these crazy times. I hope he and his family are all right.

Well, I'm buried under a pile of preparatory reading (as always) for my next writing project. To be honest, COVID didn't change that much for me - I was an academic shut-in before and that's continued largely unchanged.
It's still a bit strange to see the streets still deserted, even if things seem subliminally geared towards a re-opening (at least that's what the reno work and lights on in storefronts behind locked doors seem to suggest).

Oh Windows, how thy timestamps amuse me....

I sent you a PM with the password.

Sorry - forgot to include the VIP group in the access. Should be fixed now. 👍

I finally found a replacement for the long lost Cat Mirror Stage post I made a while back!

OK, everything should be fine with reading articles now. Let me know if there are still problems.
-
There are currently some database errors with the Articles DB which I'm sorting out. Sorry about this...they should be back online soon.

Duly noted. Since I'm a relatively-recently converted cat person, I also want to post some pics of my beloved (And RIP one year now) cat Seven.

You are welcome sir.
Anything I can do to help promote the arts and humanities in an age of terminal scientocracy...

As far as the mobile phone display goes, it's a bit of a crap shoot depending on the size of the original image, portrait vs. landscape orientation etc. I know it's a very un-Google thing for me to say but the site works best on desktop.

Hmm...weird. Have you tried toggling the Bold option for your text? And what browser are you using?
-
There should be a Topic Logo button near the top of your new forums post screen. As @NotWithoutMyOntic said, try it out in the Sandbox and let me know if you don't see it.

There are some great coincidences here....and some which don't seem like coincidences at all...
Spurious Correlations

Why do these things correlate? These 15 correlations will blow your mind. (Is this headline sensationalist enough for you to click on it yet?) -

Have you tried another browser? I've never had issues with the background picker on any browser, so I can't replicate the issue on my end.

What browser are you using?

I remember the days when I swore I'd never post cat-related stuff on a website....

Hi Ima,
I've attached your essay with some edits and comments. I'll briefly summarise them here with some suggestions for the next version:
We can discuss these ideas some more in our next session.
