Hi everyone,

We are looking to improve the performance of Tracker. We have been slowly accruing more user accounts over the years and the large number of users is having a detrimental impact on the system.

As part of ongoing care of our tracker system we will be removing Tracker accounts that have had no interaction with the system. This only applies to accounts that are older than four years old.

If you have used Tracker at all, you will not be impacted. This is only a clean up of accounts for people that have created an account, but not used it.

You can at any stage create a new account with the same details if it has been removed due to this clean up. If you require further assistance with your Tracker account, please contact us.

Thank you for your continued support helping make Moodle better for everyone.

Jesus’ reign is truly not of this world (John 18:36). For the grandeur of his kingdom is not power as defined by this world but the love of God, a love capable of encountering and healing all things. Christ humbled himself to us out of this love. He lived our human misery; he suffered the […]
