Message Board Help

How to post an item
In order to post a new message, you must be a current or former Kent State University faculty or staff member subscribed to e-Inside. It's easy:

• Click on "message board" on the menu to the left;
• Select "new post" (located at the very top of the message board home page board); and
• Fill out the short form to post your news.

Rember, all postings are reviewed/modified by a moderator/editor for appropriateness before they appear on a message board. You will be notified via e-mail when your post has been activated.

How to upload an image
To successfully upload an image, the image size has to be a maximum of 100K. Files must be .GIF or .JPG and should be approximately 300 x 300 pixels. Two photos may be uploaded per posting.

How to remove a post
Posts will remain active for one month, unless otherwise specified in the expiration date field by the person submitting the post. If a post needs to be removed within that one-month period, e-mail e-Inside the title of the post and contact information, and the post will be deactivated.

e-Inside "News and Events Bulletin" Guidelines

• 300-word limit per posting
• Two photos (100 dpi maximum and jpg file format)
• Two postings per department/office per two-week period
• Posts will be approved by a moderator/reviewer within 48-72 hours
• Postings will remain active for two weeks (14 days from the date posted)
• E-mail address of those making submissions has to be subscribed with e-Inside. Non-subscribed e-mails cannot be used. For example, Faculty and Professional Development Center would need to subscribe general e-mail: fpdc@kent.edu, in order to be able to post something to the “News and Events Bulletin.” (As a subscriber, e-Inside would be delivered to that account on a weekly basis.)
• A signed copy of the Human Subjects Review Board form must be faxed to 330-672-2047 Attn: Susan Menassa, before information about a study can be posted.
• Use of this e-Inside message board by outside organizations, companies or individuals is prohibited.
• At no time may this message board be used to distribute political material in support of a candidate or an issue.
• No postings will be granted to individuals or organizations to advocate action, which is contrary to law, or university policy.
• All postings are subject to approval.

For additional information, or if there are questions about how to use the message boards, send an e-mail to smenassa@kent.edu or einside@kent.edu.
