FAQ

Are these articles and quizzes designed for an exam or a qualification?

No, these articles and quizzes are not designed for a specific exam or qualification, but they can help you towards gaining qualifications in IT.

What does the difficulty on each article mean?

Each article has a difficulty level. The three possible difficulties are easy, medium, and advanced. These give you an idea as to how easy it is for most people to understand the article, how common the terminology is, and whether it is suitable for beginners, intermediates, or experts. The difficulty level is a number that can range from 1 to 10, with 1 being the most basic and 10 being the most advanced.

Easy articles

Articles labelled as 'easy' contain basic computing terminology that most people already know. Examples are Wi-Fi and internet service providers. Even if you don't know what these terms mean, they will be easier to understand than most articles and are suitable for beginners. Articles labelled as 'easy' have a difficulty level of 1, 2, or 3.

Medium articles

Articles labelled as 'medium' may take some more time to understand as they contain more advanced terminology that is less commonly used. Examples of medium articles are domain names and proxy servers. Not everyone knows what these terms mean and these are suitable for intermediates. Articles labelled as 'medium' have a difficulty level of 4, 5, 6, or 7.

Advanced articles

Articles labelled as advanced are difficult for the average computer user to understand and contain highly complex and advanced terminology that is less commonly used. Examples of advanced articles are DNS and nameservers. These are suitable for experts. Articles labelled as advanced have a difficulty level of 8, 9 or 10.

How long does it take to publish my article or quiz?

It might take a few days. After clicking on 'publish', your article or quiz instantly goes to the waiting room. It means that's its publicly viewable and available for anyone to see. If your article or quiz is approved, it will be moved to the main page, which means it's fully published.

We reviews all new articles and quizzes from the waiting room on a daily basis. However, only the best ones are chosen to be published on the main page. Remember that it has to be actually an article or quiz. If you create something that is not related to computing and IT or cannot be classified as an article/quiz, it surely won't get to the main page.

Can I edit my article or quiz?

Yes, you can edit your article or quiz when it is saved as a draft or published in the waiting room. To do this, go to "Your articles/quizzes" and click the "Edit" button.

Can I delete my article or quiz?

You can delete your article or quiz when it is saved as a draft or published in the waiting room. To do this, go to "Your articles/quizzes" and click the "Delete" button.

Can I delete a comment?

Yes, you can delete a comment you have posted. To do this, go to "Your comments" and click the "Delete" button. You can also delete comments from your articles and quizzes published in the waiting room by clicking on the "Manage comments" button in "Your articles/quizzes". You cannot delete comments from other people's articles or quizzes.

Can I see who liked my comment/article/quiz?

For privacy reasons, likes are anonymous. You can see who commented on your article or quiz or who replied to your comment and the number of likes, but you cannot see the usernames of the people who liked your comment/article/quiz.

Are dislikes hidden?

You can dislike a comment/article/quiz, but to protect users from harassment and dislike attacks, the number of dislikes is not publicly visible. Only the user who commented or posted the article/quiz can see the dislike count.

What is the bell icon for?

It's for notifications. If you click on it, you become a follower of that user and you will be notified of everything that user publishes.

Can I block a user?

Yes, to block a user from sending you messages, go to "Your messages", find the user you want to block, and click the "Block" button.

Can I unblock a user?

Yes, to unblock a user, go to "Blocked users", find the user you want to unblock, and click the "Unblock" button.

Can I delete a message?

You cannot delete individual messages, but you can remove a user from your contacts, which will delete all messages. To do this, go to "Your messages", find the user you want to remove, and click the "Remove" button. Deleted messages are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. If you want to block a user, you should block them first because a removed user can find you again and send you a message.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, to delete your account, go to "Profile settings", click "Delete account", and you will be directed to a page where you can delete your account. If you're sure you want to delete your account, enter your password and click the "Delete account" button.
