Just a reminder to all in this curriculum buying/ new year planning season that the AO forum offers a place to buy/sell your used CM materials. Just be sure to read the rules for how to label your wares. All inquiries for purchase are done by PM so be sure yours is on. You can find it in the Resources area. Happy Shopping!

This thread is for clarification and discussion of Ambleside Online's Acceptable Use License.

The Advisory provides the AmblesideOnline curriculum and all the helpful ancillary resources as a free service. However, although the curriculum is free, it is still copyrighted. Any republishing of the content, either on paper or electronically (such as on a blog or website), requires written Advisory permission. This material represents many long hours of Advisory toil, and we appreciate the respect you show by linking to our website rather than republishing its contents (other than short attributed quotes) elsewhere.

We'll be revising this Q&A section that Amy, one of our wonderful Auxiliary moms, started as we see what additional questions we need to include.


Q: May I copy the site and link to it as my own work?
A: umm... NO. but thank you for asking.

Q: May I publish printables & schedules which use the AO years and Subject Rotations?
A: We are quite happy for families to use and make sundry helpful printables for their families' personal use, and/or to share gratis with the AO community via the forum. However, we ask that the Ambleside Online materials (pretty much anything taken from the website) not be used for personal gain or reposted elsewhere on the web. If you are in doubt about a specific project and whether or not it complies, please ask.

Q: May I quote from the CM series or from a Parent's Review article on my website or blog?
A: Yes! Please do! UNLESS your motive happens to be that of boosting visits to your site by mirroring ours. Which we can't really imagine than any of you lovelies would even think of doing. However, if that were the case, we'd thank you to please refer your readers to our site for the original text.

Q: May I print copies of the CM series or PR articles?
A: We'd love for you to print materials for use in personal study or in small group study settings. HOWEVER, we reserve the right to grant or withhold permission to print for reselling purposes.

I am wondering how the open buddy list works.

The other night I had been thinking of some of the wonderful posts I have received and thought to myself I would like to have a wider knowledge/friendship with some of these ladies. Is the open buddy list a way of doing this?

I hereby crown myself the queen of double-posting. But I would like to surrender this crown asap. How do I delete my double-posts? When I check the box that says delete post in the upper left and then the confirm button on the right it tells me I don't have access to this feature.

I need some direction here. Thank you.

How do you delete your profile? And can you delete your threads/posts as well when you do?

So apparently, I've managed to turn off private messages within the forum. I have no clue how I did this, but members can only contact me through email. I know I've sent and received messages on Forum before...

Help? How do I turn on private messages?

Thanks so much!!

How do I change my current time on the forum? I'm pretty sure I just need to change my time zone but I don't know how to get to that option.
thanks!

When I start a thread, as I'm now doing, I have all the nice little editing features/icons above and the emoticons to my left. When I post within a thread, I don't have those. How do I make those appear?

I wanted to read "Read Karen Glass's article about CM and CE." on the FAQ page but the link is broken. Can you tell me where I might find it?

For some reason, when I try to read my own thread:
https://amblesideonline.org/forum/showth...on=newpost
The following message shows up:

The link of the thread was sent to my email since I am subscribing, so I don't think any of these apply... What should I do?

I saw a CM quote that I really liked, but forgot to write down where to find it. Is there a list of the quotes you use to cycle through that I could look through to try to find it again? It had to do with obedience only being helpful if it helps the child to ultimately control herself. Thanks!

I'm sure you know about Amazon changes going into effect on March 1st but if you don't, here's the information. It most certainly affects you. https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/...ng/compare

The following is added at the end of the sub-section:
“In addition, notwithstanding the advertising fee rates described on this page or anything to the contrary contained in this Operating Agreement, if we determine you are primarily promoting free Kindle eBooks (i.e., eBooks for which the customer purchase price is $0.00), YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO EARN ANY ADVERTISING FEES DURING ANY MONTH IN WHICH YOU MEET THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
(a) 20,000 or more free Kindle eBooks are ordered and downloaded during Sessions attributed to your Special Links; and
(b) At least 80% of all Kindle eBooks ordered and downloaded during Sessions attributed to your Special Links are free Kindle eBooks.”

Is there a way to get offical posts from the Advisory by email? I am thinking posts announcing changes to curriculum etc...

Thank you ~

Is the AO Yahoo group still active? There were some schedules filed there that I would like to access. If not, have the files been moved to the forum?

Thank you!

Hi, I am wondering how I can correct the "current time" on my account. It is off by 5 hours. Not a big deal but would like to fix it.

Thanks!

When I click on the 'view new posts' tab, I get this response:

"Sorry, but no results were returned using the query information you provided."

Since I haven't logged on for a few days, I'm sure that can't be right

Hi,

When I edit posts, I have an option to delete the entire post. I tried to use that tonight and received the following message:

Dear Ambleside Online members,

This is a VERY important announcement, so please read!

The AO forum and email list will take a restful Holiday Break beginning on Tuesday, Dec 18. We'll re-open the forum and email list again on Charlotte Mason's birthday, Tuesday, January 1. The forum will be closed to posting. Any messages sent to the email list during the break will not post, and will not be held in a queue to post when we go active again on January 1.

The CM method is about more than homeschooling; it's about life and relationships. We would like our AO family of members, moderators, Auxiliary and Advisory to step back from lessons and computers, and take time to savor the holidays with their loved ones.

For the benefit of anyone who might be starting homeschool for the first time right after the holidays, and those who have some other immediate need in order to begin their January term, the Question and Answer subforum will remain open. We ask that this venue be used during the break only for this purpose.

Should you need AO information during the break, the archives will remain available at our forum:
https://amblesideonline.org/forum/index.php
and Yahoogroup:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AmblesideOnline/

...and of course the AO website will remain up and running.

We encourage you all to explore AO's special Holiday pages during the break!

May you find time to reflect on the meaning of Christmas, enjoy time with those you love, and be refreshed as you anticipate the coming year.

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

I did a search on Pagoo and nothing came up, but there actually was a post about it. So does the search function not always work? Thanks
