I just spent a few minutes setting doing the Home page exercise in the Moodle Toolkit. Because I’ve used Moodle before it was very quick, but I was reminded of a couple of things.
First, it doesn’t take long to forget the intricacies of how a system works. After a few months I was scratching my head and thinking, “I know there’s a way to do______, but where?”
Second, no system is perfect. After repeated attempts to delete a News Forum from my home page, it was still there! Maybe the system just didn’t believe me when I answered “Yes” to “Are you absolutely sure you want to completely delete Forum ‘News forum’?” Or maybe there’s a hidden reason it doesn’t work, but regardless it refuses to die.
I look forward to getting back into Moodle development and rediscovering those temporarily forgotten features.

Excellent!
Try a different browser?
Thanks for the tip John… unfortunately, the News Forum is still there! According to the Moodle site, there is a special process to remove the News Forum: http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/News_forum. I think I may give in to this particular function’s amazing will to live and just hide it instead. 🙂
