WARNING WARNING WARNING
Submitted by Loutzenhiser on Thu, 2009-09-10 01:20.
We have some people coming to ccel, gathering information about us and then contacting us by email saying that they are pastors, etc.. and then asking/hinting that you should send them money. I do not know nor can I prove that they are or are not missionaries/pastors. I would strongly suggest that you do not send money or personal contact information (phone numbers/addresses) to anyone that contacts you in this way.
Donate, yes, to those organizations that have denominational/church recognition (IE., Baptist or Roman Catholic backing) or have a verifiable U.S. office.

Needed: Group Leaders
Submitted by Loutzenhiser on Sun, 2008-11-23 02:43.
We are ready to expand our Groups to include more topics and books but we need members that are ready to put in the time and patience to be Group Leaders. You will need to spend 30 to 60 minutes a day on preparing your posts and encouraging your members. I can teach you how to do the mechanics of running your group but you must be ready to learn your book/subject. Prior teaching experience is not required, I need people that desire to help others to understand the subject and are ready to persevere in leading a group. If you have a desire to help others learn then please email me.
Subject Tagging
Submitted by hplantin on Thu, 2007-09-06 16:04.
Have you ever wanted to find a good reference on a topic like prayer, baptism, election, whatever?
The CCEL has long had the ability to find books by author, title, scripture reference, full text search, etc. However, we haven't ever had a very good subject index.
We've added "tagging" as a means of building a subject index. Tagging means that users can add keywords to pages. Read something that you really liked about prayer? Add the "prayer" tag. Later, when someone searches the tags for "prayer," tagged references will appear.
Forum Frequently Asked Questions
Submitted by Loutzenhiser on Thu, 2007-08-30 20:23.
- I noticed that there are Google ads showing on some pages. Some of them don't seem to be appropriate or are offensive. What can we do? We are able to ban any specific Google ad that is offensive, inappropriate, or untrue. However, we need to hear from our users about which ads these are, and we need the specific Web site address of the ad in order to ban it from our site. If you email Brian Vanderwal with that information, he will ban the ads you request.
