Loading...I regularly get comments on one of my posts from a member who is having some kind of technical problem — for example, only part of the post shows up for them, or they can’t seem to access something etc. (Other people have problems with what I actually *say*, but that’s a different matter….). Sometimes there are indeed technological problems that arise. What to do?
The VERY BEST thing is to contact our help staff. I won’t get to your comment a day or so later, and the problem is almost always individual, not system wide. So there’s not much I can do to help in response to a comment, even if I did have the wherewithall to deal with the technological details. (As Groucho once said, Why a four-year–old child could understand this …! Run out and find me a four-year–old child, I can’t make head or tail of it.”)
So, are you haveing a problem? Click on HELP and contact support. Someone will get in touch and figure it out for you.
If there are even bigger problems about the blog — or suggestions you have to make the blog better — do feel free to contact me!
As an 86 years old African American, I have come to believe that the only thing constant is change. Most of the changes that have occurred in our wonderful country during my lifetime has been for the improvement of its citizens. Nonetheless there remain too many Americans who believe in the “zero sum game” approach and are continuing their efforts to deny many persons living here, particularly those of color, immigrants, asylum seekers, and those in the lower strata of the economic strata, equal opportunity to achieve their dreams.
I contend that all components of our vast universe have always been in a state of continuing change. Human beings are part of this universe and continue to change. None of us, despite our strong tendency toward denial, remain constant. We all respond both physically and mentally to our environment and circumstances that surround us. These are in a state of continuous change and so are we.
Hi Dr Ehrman!!
What is the difference between the first edition and second edition of your Bible textbook, content-wise? And is all of the NT info in the Bible textbook, the same as that in your NT textbook?
Thank you!!
Ah, it’s now in the 7th edition. I keep making it better, so if you want the best, go for the latest you can get your hands on. The Bible textbook provides a greatly abbreviated version; there’s a lot less information in the Bible textbook, but what’s there is not radically different in its views.
An additional plug for the excellent support folks.
I reported a problem[*] and received a response (from Diane —all hail her name) within 15 min. After that the fix was all but instantaneous.
[* In short, I was receiving “truncated” posting; e.g. they would abruptly end, often in mid-sentence. Turns out I had accidentally let my membership expire (blush).]
Hi Dr. Ehrman and others who may read this comment: I’m a “Customer Care” guy myself, and…
A good rule of thumb for problems encountered with ANY website is to simply close all programs and apps, and cycle your device fully OFF and back ON! That can solve many problems; if that doesn’t work, cycle your internet modem and router fully off and back on. Those two “fixes” solve about 99% of customer issues.
