Swinburne has week one but Deakin starts week 2?

I've logged in for the first time - and it thinks I've already voted!!

toolman: We do start at week 1. As this is a blog, it will place the most recent blog post up the top of the page. To navigate to the tasks - go to it on the right hand side of the page under archives.

hotspur: The voting section I think uses cookies. I would clear the cookies on your web browser. Or better yet, open up the other web browser that you don't use (For example internet explorer if you use Firefox) and you should be able to vote.

Using IE, every time I click on a link it asks me to save the file, rather than going to the appropriate page - any hints?

Kat said...

The IE thing is a known issue at the moment. Try typing in www. before the address and after the http://.

So for example if the address you have been given is http://23things-kc.blogspot.com then type in http://www.23things-kc.blogspot.com this should then work. No idea why it is happening as blogspot.com says to use the address without the www.!

Alternatively you can always use firefox :) It is the better browser after all!

I guess if we have signed up for IM we do have a Yahoo account?

Kat said...

maz: nope, you signed up for a live messenger account (microsoft) not a yahoo account. Only the deakin account has a yahoo account. So you will need to sign up a new yahoo account.
