:We have a wonderful new article on '''[[College Class Pipes]]''', featuring the research and collection of Brian Robertson. I'd heard of Class Pipes, but had no idea how wonderful this niche collection area can be. I find it fascinating, and really enjoyed working with Brian to bring it to you.  Many thanks to Brian for sharing this with us!

:We just discovered and corrected the issue that was causing the 400 error for some Firefox users. It had to do with a geolocation service used by the translation tools we have installed. The first service shut down and redirected to a second service, which was not on a secure server. Most browsers just reported (with an icon) that the server was no longer secure, while some versions of Firefox bailed all together with that error message. Thanks to those that reported the problem! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 13:32, 17 September 2018 (CDT)
