Help Us Spread the Word

Efofex has always thrived on the enthusiasm of our users. There are hundreds of teachers out there who love our products and have been happy to tell others about them. We have often seen whole districts suddenly start using Efofex products after one of these evangelists runs a session at a conference.

If you love using Efofex products, we have now made it much easier to be an “evangelist”. You can even earn a little money, or get the satisfaction of seeing some money go to a worthy charity. You will also help Efofex continue to thrive and improve what we offer.

All of our current releases now have a “Tell A Friend” option.

Choosing this option will take you to a special web page, just for you.

Once you have told us who you would like us to pay the finder’s fee to, you can use the customized web link to recommend our products.

You can put the link where ever you like. In an email, on a web page or just write it on a whiteboard. Anyone who uses the link to order one or our products will get a discount of up to 20% (on subscriptions) and you (or a charity) will get the same amount. If that is all too hard, give us a few details and we will send an email on your behalf – although we would much prefer the personal touch.

Please help us spread the word and keep Efofex strong!

New: Check your Details or Resubscribe From The Help Menu
Lots of users have been downloading the new versions and checking their details or resubscribing from the Help menu.

The new technology has been included in all of our products and you have the following options available from the Help menu.

Choosing Check/Update Account Contact Details will take you to a web page displaying your currently recorded details. You can change these and send the changes through to us.

There are a couple of caveats that you need to know:

1. Some users may not be able to check their details. The system works by matching your registered name and some schools (such as the multitude of Sacred Heart Colleges) will not have a unique name in the registry. If this occurs, we will be automatically notified and can issue you with new codes in a unique name. There are a number of other small problems that can occur with registered names that we will work to rectify as they appear. Most users, however, can check and update.

2. Changes are NOT real time. We have decided to not put our full registry online to prevent security problems and we will vet all change requests – uploading changes about once per week.

Don’t forget that you can also organize your resubscription from the same menu, or tell a friend about Efofex products – but we will discuss those in more detail in future messages.

We Have Arrived
After a very intense week our relocation is complete. We are not totally settled in but our service should be getting back to normal over the next week. Thank you for your patience.

We did have one major hiccup during the move – although it was totally unrelated to the relocation. Our website provider (Microsoft Azure) decided to have a major meltdown which left us offline for a day. Purely coincidental but very annoying and we apologize if you were inconvenienced in any way.

The nice thing about the relocation is that none of our contact details change.

We have updated our FX Equation product page to include a new, online version of FX Equation that you can use to experiment with FX Equation technology without needing to download anything. If you have never played with FX Equation, it is worth a few seconds of your time to have a look. Let the tool generate a random example which you can then edit.

What many people do not realise is that FX Equation 5 has the ability to produce LaTex output that can be pasted into any tool that supports LaTex equations (including Moodle). FX Equation can take a simple equation like…

3×3+2×2/3+1/x=3y

and turn it into the following LaTex command

3{x}^{3}+{frac{2{x}^{2}}{3}}+{frac{1}{{x}}}=3{y}

You can also use FX Equation to create equations that can be pasted directly into a Word document to become native Word (or MathType) equations. This lets you use the incredibly productive FX Equation environment for a much wider selection of uses.

Take a look at the new FX Equation product page today.
