I am slowly cleaning up old inactive accounts.  It's a manual process, so I'll never finish, but it helps keep usernames available.  I know there are other orphan accounts out there that people created and then replaced with another account because of an email change or some other problem.  If you have an old account that you aren't using, I can merge it with your current account so all your posts are connected to you, or if you haven't made any posts on it I can delete it if you'd prefer.  (Merging would keep your original start date, in case you want to look cool.)

You can post here or you can PM me here on the forum or you can email aoforum@amblesideonline.org to let me know about your orphan account.

We've got lots of helps for you!  We're trying to collect them all in one place, here.

On the Y8 Spiritual Formation list, the link for To A Different Drum: The Autobiography of Pauline Hamilton sends you to an out of print edition that is pretty pricey ($35 and up). It looks like the book has been republished, and is now available new for $12.99. Unless there is a difference in the editions, it might be helpful to update that link.

I was organizing my books and realized that Bell/curie is missing from the main Overview page

Under the Historical Documents, weeks 1-4 are listed on the chart we download, but not under the Historical Documents with links.

The DOC chart has the following listed:
Week 1: "2 letters; Sarah Bibber"
Week 2: "Mary Osgood; Letter to John Foster; People; Tituba; Mathers"
Week 3: "Wesley sermon: Free Grace
Week 4: "Edwards: Sinners in the hands (cont next week)

The links pick up with week 5.

I recognize them from when my oldest did year 9, but for my second son I'm doing the combo years. Are these things to be dropped? Or were the links just missed? Are the 2 letters referencing Chesterfield's letters? Or something within the witch trial transcripts?

Thanks!

Our webhost says they're doing some "essential maintenance" and our website (which includes the forum) will be offline then.

"The work is being carried out to upgrade the power infrastructure at the data centre. We’ll be moving some of our hardware to a different location in the data hall. This means that hardware will have to be shut down temporarily to allow us to move the servers."

Is there any plans for a Recitation page, with all the years of recitation suggestions in one place? I was scrolling down the "By Subject" tab on the main website, and didn't spot it. I thought asking hopefully wouldn't hurt! You are all doing so much, anyways, so I understand if it's not in the plans!

(Updated to add: Volume 2 is now available on Kindle.)

…(which covers chapters 29-63, and is used for AO’s Year 4) is now available at Amazon. It is in paperback and hardcover, with an inexpensive Kindle version to follow shortly.

Here is a description of this work: “Accurate tribal names, sources of quotes, and added information tether this story to the historical record while maintaining the literary excellence of the original.”


Volume 2 continues the same chapter numbers, out of respect for H. E. Marshall’s work and to keep the continuity of the series.

Volume 1 covers chapters 1-28 and is used for the end of Year 2 and all of Year 3. Volume 3 should be available by the end of 2023 (chapters 64-99), and a brand new volume covering the century that follows is also being planned.

(An added note: H. E. Marshall’s original work is still used for AmblesideOnline and the free version is linked to our website.)

I apologize if I missed this answer, but I haven't found it. Is there a way to do an ISO post? I searched the sell forum, and no one is currently selling it, but I thought I could ask if anyone had it. However, I wasn't sure if that was allowed or where to put it if it was allowed (It's ARTistic Pursuits 4-5 Book 1). Thanks!

Is there a way to do this? We were at the state hs convention these past few days, and I missed out on all the great conversations you've been having! 

I know I can do "view new posts" but I've already done that once and didn't get to finish reading all of them, so of course now that I've been away from that page, those are no longer new, even though I haven't actually read them.

I tried to edit a post and ended up with a duplicate post. 

I have edited posts before, but there was no "edit" button. (I wanted to change something right after it was posted. It had not been posted more than a minute.)

In searching for a way to edit, I ended up at the original post, and changed what I wanted to change, and then posted. So now there is a duplicate post, with only a few words different. But still no edit button.

Here's the thread.

The exams that are on the AO website right now (https://amblesideonline.org/exams) are the exams for the schedules that existed before the recent changes to the booklists and schedules.  Those changes affected every AO year.  The schedules and booklists on the AO website are all updated, but the exams are not.  This summer, the exams on the AO website will be updated to reflect the new schedules.  I saved the current exams to the Resources > Links and Downloads here, a thread for each year.  If you need them after they are removed from the website, they will remain available here.

If you have time to look through some of those threads, I'd appreciate some fresh eyes looking over them to be sure each thread includes all three terms and an answer key for the correct year.  They shouldn't have errors beyond having two copies of the same term or something like that.

Could an Admin fix how the Year 7 Lite Schedule PDF is set up to print. When I go to print it the second section for the weeks (page 4 I believe) has the header but then its blank otherwise, then the rest of the page is on a following page. The document isn't lined up correctly. Thank you! -Blair Lingbloom

I have been changing forum settings this morning so that people can see what areas exist in the forum even if they do not have access to reading the content in those areas.  This way, you'll know what you might want to request access to.  Also, people who visit the forum can see what types of content are there (by seeing the headings of the areas) before they decide whether or not they want to register.

It's entirely possible that some settings are not what they need to be, and some of you may see content for areas to which you haven't had access previously.  If that happens, please post here and give me some specifics about what you are seeing and how you are seeing it (is it in your View Today's Posts feed or can you go directly to the subforum and see it).  That will help me find the wrong settings.

Did you know?

The website is our main collaborative effort; but alongside that, we have written books and articles, spoken on podcasts, and narrated audio books. We would like to let you know about some of the extra resources we have created over the years.

Take a look!

I noticed at Easter that the Easter hymn list has Hallelujah What a Savior listed as one of the hymns but the link goes to lyrics for Jesus What a Friend for Sinners. It’s a simple mistake since they both use the phrase “Hallelujah what a savior.” However. I believe these are the lyrics that should be listed for that title: https://library.timelesstruths.org/music..._a_Savior/

Here’s the link to the shortcut on the AO page.

Where has the "edit" button gone? I have a post that I would like to edit. :- )

Thank you!

Hello, dumb question coming your way... How do I get emails from forums I've subscribed to? I'm usually on my phone, but I've even resorted to looking on my desktop to no avail. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious!
Thank you

This is the place to report any typos or dead links that you find on the AO website or forum.

As the typos are fixed, their posts will be deleted, so don't be surprised if things disappear from here.

Thank you!

Hi! So sorry for posting so many times, lol.
Why does my signature look like this (see below). I can't scroll or anything to reveal the ending.
