Non-user administrators flush Moodle, replace with Sakai *:-(

Bummer.  I say Bummer.
VHL (Very High Level) administrators who don't live in or use the LCMS worlds, have decreed that the default LCMS shall not be Moodle for a while, so that the home grown Sakai can be trotted about for all to see.  Lotta work I have done is now on hold, and legions of conversion programmers are queuing up to offer their services (students will probably do it for free, sorry).
So ... the waiting begins, for a return to sanity.
No worries, I'm gonna Moodle anyway *:-)

One Thousand Seventy One carefully crafted words gone in 60 microseconds

Perhaps fatigue, rushing to judgement, procrastination, or an equally familiar foible resulted in the loss of an important 1,071-word Moodle forum post intended to fulfill one of the assignments in the MCCC course I am currently attempting to pass.  Note to self: even if the second instance of a particular Moodle course that I have on display is simultaneously viewed in a different browser than that of the primary content-entry browser, if I close the secondary browser before completing and uploading the post, the post will be lost.  Unfortunately, the primary browser appears to remain active and fruitful, allowing continued entry, but when the attempt is made to post the content to the forum, the screen and message below are delivered without recourse and leave me feeling yucky and depressed:

No worries ... I regained my strength to continue, and got the post uploaded and turned in on time *:-)  Yay!

The answer is: ADMIN BLOCK > NOTIFICATIONS > VERSION

A fellow Moodler, and a Moodler who is also an instructor for a Moodle Partner (and a very pleasant Teacher, I've taken a course with her), gave me the answer to the question I implied in a recent post, indicating that I did not know how to find the version of Moodle that a particular instance was running.  The answer is:
Within Site Administration, click on Notifications, and the screen will display the information we seek.  The first image below is where to go to find the info; images two and three below represent the two different versions (well, actually just different Builds), that my two Moodle instances offer to me:



Thank you for the help, Ms. Moodler *:-)

Moodle Administrator: That's Me! *:-)


I am happy about this *:-)  Moodle 2.0 (I actually am using 2.1) was a little scary for me to get into, because I heard that it was very different, and I haven't been that active for a couple years.  I got through the course ok, and have my laptop loaded with 2.1, and have a client to begin building for.  I will also begin the MCCC process in a couple weeks, so if you feel like it, send me good vibes for success please *:-)
