We reserve the right to edit or not to post messages that are abusive,
hateful, off-topic, duplicate and insulting to a race, nation or person.
If you think your article or post are free from these and do not see
your article in the forum, there is a good chance that we have not
received your article. Sometimes sender's email-id automatically goes to
bouncing status or account may be temporarily disabled by yahoogroups
itself, prior to moderator's knowledge. In such case, we do not receive
any article from that account. Please
read this to stop your account from bouncing or reactivating. If you
feel that your article has not been posted, please send email to our
moderator's personal account. Do not send repeated email to the forum.
Since forum does not receive any email from bouncing account, there is
no way to know that the particular member is unhappy about the
post. Please contact with the following person:
For Bangla Articles -
Farid Ahmed ([email protected])
and Tanbira Talukder ([email protected])
For English Articles -
Jahed Ahmed ([email protected])
and Mehul Kamdar ([email protected]).
You can also give a CC to Avijit
Roy ([email protected]) to
avoid any kind of dispute.
The articles selected for Mukto-Mona
main page should be interesting and highly readable essays, but keep in
mind that our mission is to defend and promote a naturalistic worldview,
freethinking, humanism and rationalism. Your submissions should be
somehow related to that mission. So, submission of any articles/messages
at our forum does not automatically qualify them to be posted at the
main page. In this case, site-moderators and founding moderator reserve
the right to select submissions for main page.
I
would like unsubscribe from the group, what should I do?
You
can unsubscribe from the group by directly sending a blank email at:
[email protected]
But before doing that, please
let us know the reason of your decision. Your critical feedback will
help us to evaluate our effort. However, many new members decide
to unsubscribe as they cant handle large numbers of individual mails. If
this is the only reason, our suggestion is that you can keep your
membership, and try some other options (for e.g.
daily digest or No-email) of receiving mails. It will
protect your account from getting bulk mails.
I cant see Bangla properly, what will I do ?
Step: 1
First of all, install support for Windows complex script
to view complex Asian characters like Bangla. You can
download it from
here (alt).

Install an Unicode Bangla font. You can download Rupali
Bangla font from
here . Download it and copy that file into Control
Panel > Fonts. After copying the font press F5 twice. It
will refresh the font list Window.
Step 3
Configure you browser so that it uses your newly
installed Bangla unicode font.
- For Internet Explorer user,
go to Tools > Internet Options. Click on the Fonts
button. Then select Language Script : Bengali,
Webpage font: BNG. Click Ok.
- For Firefox user, go to
Tool > Options. Then go to Contents tab. Click on
the Advanced under Fonts and Colors option. Select

For some of our old articles,
you may need
Adobe
Acrobat Reader installed in your system. We use to publish Bangla
articles in
pdf format
which is readable even if your system does not have any Bangla font.
Nowadys we do not encourage people to send pdf. We are trying to shift
to unicode. Kindly check
this
message.
