UVLe Tips

• Slow Connection

File uploading and page editing on UVLe take a long time to load. What gives?

If you encounter a message like "waiting for 64.19.142.13..", you could be using some browser accelerator that's prepending your access to UVLe (see [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10364638/suspicious-ips-64-19-142-11-64-19-142-13-apparently-from-verizon-prepended-to this post, for instance). All UP public addresses start with 202.92.* It's going to be worse within Dilnet because public number addresses are hardly resolved from there. Suggestion: take out the accelerator or at least make an exemption for UVLe and other UP services.

• Buggy loading of page

Try switching to standard Moodle theme by copying this in the address bar:

  http://uvle.up.edu.ph/?theme=standard

(or append &theme=standard to the URL if you're on a specific page)

To go back to the UVLe layout, copy this:

  http://uvle.up.edu.ph/?theme=uvlebook

(or append &theme=uvlebook to the URL if you're on a specific page)

• Distributing large files

Is the file you're trying to share too large for upload on UVLe or greater than 50Mb? Try sharing it via Torrent.

• Emoticons
  

These are the emoticons used in UVLe:

If any of these symbols interfere with certain mathematical expressions, please inform the UVLe Support Team

• Boxbe
  

For UVLe users whose email accounts are tied to to Boxbe (no relation to UVLe or DILC), sorry. You may have trouble receiving legitimate posts from your teachers. For those who're not yet into Boxbe, stay away from it at all cost. Boxbe filters cause problems with legitimate bulk email senders like UVLe courses. Boxbe is a scam!
