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 other Pencil-Hand ... what will happen?
This morning I wanted to find out what would happen when I click on the pencil-hand in the block top bar, which I was too timid to try last night. Here is where I started:
Here is the pencil-hand I clicked this morning:
... and KA-BOOM! Near-instant and radical change to the screen display, now showing what is below:
I will go to Moodle Docs to figure out all the things I can do from here. What a difference a click makes!

Which pencil-hand do I click?
With editing turned off inside my new course, I wanted to practice entering description text, so I turned editing on. Because two pencil-hands showed up in the block I wanted to edit, I was concerned that I would click on the wrong one and blow the block away or something. With trepidation, I studied the scene shown directly below:
Although I was not sure, after staring at the scene, and doing mouse-overs a couple times, I guessed, and got it right, enabling me to enter the text shown in green. Here is the pencil-hand I chose:
Yay! Win! *:-)

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:
