Q:  “Do you have an RSS Feed service? I'd like to receive all your latest joe-ks and Sudoku Puzzles as soon as they're published...”
A:  June 2007 - We've just added RSS Feeds    for (A) for our daily groaner joe-ks, and (B) for our daily 100% unique & original Sudoku Puzzles - see details as follows:
RSS Feed Information  - how you can setup an RSS Feed  
       (click any icon @ left for RSS Feed URL to newest Groaner joe-ks)  
      (click any icon @ left for RSS Feed URL to newest Sudoku Puzzles © )  

Q:  “Where are your latest Sudoku puzzles?”
A:  In December 2007 we introduced our new Sudoku site  www.suJoku.com
suJoku?  suDoku by Joe!

Q:  “Do you have an FAQ section for your Sudoku puzzles?”
A:  Go to Sudoku Puzzle FAQ Section

Q:  “Where does 'joe-ks' come from?”
A:  Think of 'jokes', but scramble the letters to arrange it for
Joe the Joe-kster's first name... hence 'Joe' - ks  (joe-ks.com)
Have you ever gone to other humour sites to end up with a garbled
mess of ads surrounding a few jokes... followed by unwanted
popup windows? The joe-ks.com site was designed  for CONTENT
and NOT for annoying popup ads or use of fancy technology
(i.e. use of Flash)...  We pride ourselves on your privacy and WE
DO NOT place cookies on your computer. It's taken 5 years
to arrive at a place where the Joe-kster is confident that
joe-ks.com provides you with the largest selection
of groaner joe-ks & humour on the internet - to allow you to find
whatever you're looking for (and more), unobtrusively and quickly!

Q:  “I'm a subscriber to your email subscription service and really enjoy
your joe-ks, but I find it a lot of work to 'cut and paste' all of the website links
in your subscriber email. What can I do? (I use aol)”
A:  When we first sent out our email to our email subscribers, we sent out complete text (for text joe-ks) and all the images & video clips. We received a lot of feedback
that our readers did NOT want large files sent to them - that it took up too much space
on their email accounts. So we revised our email subscription format to send out only
links (or URL addresses) for each of the website pages. That has worked out quite well,
and each email is usually < 10k in size. Note that ALL of the URL addresses in
our subscriber email should show up IN YOUR EMAIL as 'active links' - links that all
you have to do is to click on them and you will be automatically taken to the page you want...
If the subscriber email you receive DOES NOT contain 'active links', let us know about it
and we'll try to help you out - also see our 'Active Link URL' section where other users
can tell you how they found a work-around for this...

Q:  “When I click on a link, I get a small popup window, and all
I can see are more links...  Help!!!  I can't get to any of your joe-ks!!!”
A:  We suggest the following:
1.  Enlarge the “small popup window” to its full size;
2.  Use the scroll bar (right side of screen on Windows computers) to scroll down
to the joe-ks which are on the BOTTOM of the screen
(that's because I've added site links at the top of each text joe-k);  and
3.  The problem is related to the screen size you're using:  this site works best
at a screen size of 1024 X 768 or 1152 X 860 pixels
 (... it doesn't look near as good at screen resolutions of 640 X 480  or  800 X 768)...
ask a computer “geek” to help you fix your screen size!

Q:  “On your license plate section, my plate doesn't line up properly - why?”
A:  Have a look at the very bottom of the license plate section screen:
if it's not horizontally aligned on the last row, your screen resolution is too low.
The problem is related to the screen size you're using:  this site works best
at a screen size of 1024 X 768 or 1152 X 860 pixels
 (... it doesn't look near as good at screen resolutions of 640 X 480  or  800 X 768 -
AND the license plate section is misaligned @ lower screen resolutions)...
ask a computer “geek” to help you fix your screen size!
Printing Page Alignment:  Set your page setting left & right borders to 0.3"...

Q:  “Where do you get all those groaners?”
A:  We get them through site users from all over the world, receiving
hundreds of e-mail messages per day - with approximately 80% of the received joe-ks
already being on the site;  15% of them unusable (refer to what makes them
“usable” below);  and 5% that are joe-kster material!
For a user who submits several real groaners that are placed on the site,
I add their name to my “Honourable Mention” page! 
(note the “u” in Honourable, eh!)

Q:  “What makes a joe-k usable for your site?”
A:  The Joe-kster “usually” follows the “Wifey Acceptable” re accepting joe-ks for the site -
have a look at the “Wifey Rule” (from a March 14, 2001 'Delta Optimist' article, Tsawwassen, B.C.)!

Q:  “Great search engine you've added! Why can't I find some of your newest
joe-ks with the search engine?”
A:  The search engine was added to the site in June 2003 - thanks to
the following: (1) “Google Hacks” (Calishain & Dornfest);
(2) “JavaScript Goodies” (Burns & Growney);  &  (3) Google's
incredible technology (... and a “little bit” of experimenting
by the Joe-kster)!
FYI that this search engine is solely based on information gathered
by Google through its own web robots, spiders, crawlers & other sources
of creeping information gathering... As such, continued web robot
searching (by Google) is done on a random basis, sometimes a month
between search updates...
B:  January 2005 - we've just updated joe-ks.com with Google's new
& superb web & site-specific search engine - enjoy!
No more restrictions about how to control your search parameters -
just “Google-ize” it!

Q:  “What's with the Google ads on your pages?”
A:  Confucious says, “Man cannot live on expenditure alone...”
Joe-ks.com has “teamed up” with Google.com to (1) obtain an excellent
site-specific search engine; and (2) provide links to recommended Google
advertisers. By clicking on the Google links you're (A) supporting the advertisers;
(B) you are NOT obligated to buy anything; and (C) you're helping to supply funding
 for continued operation of the joe-ks.com site...
Note that the Mailing List e-mail distribution of joe-ks will NOT contain any advertising.
If any of you have any better ideas of how to raise revenue for the site,
please Send them to us!
 

Q:  “Can you send your jokes to my e-mail address?”
A:  Joe-ks.com started a mailing list option in January 2004.
ALL information obtained from users will be kept
strictly confidential, and all e-mail joe-ks sent out will:
(1) have NO internal advertising within the e-mail message;
(2) contain ONLY LINKS (i.e. there will be NO file attachments),
so the file size will be MINIMAL;
(3) distribution will be kept to a maximum of 2 times/week to ensure
that we don't overload any of our users who already have full e-mail boxes;
(4) there will be NO SPAM: this will be strictly monitored by the
Joe-kster himself to ensure our site's integrity; and
(5) you can be assured that your e-mail address will remain confidential and
will NOT be given to anyone else or any other business or organization.

Q:  “I'm on your e-mail list, but I don't have time to read my e-mail - how can I unsubscribe?”
A:  Click on this link to  Unsubscribe  from the joe-ks.com e-mail list...
 

Q:  “What's happened to all of the movie clips?”
A:  Our internet service provider says our bandwidth has reached
sky-high proportions which is great news for us (we've been working for 10 years
to reach 2 million hits/month!), but along with that comes a staggering
increase in our site bandwidth costs. We DO have video clip files within sections,
but not a single-page listing for them!

Q:  “How can I tell which are the newest joe-ks?”
A:  Several users have requested a quick way to know
which joe-ks are the most recent...
As of January, 2007 we started placing a  image beside 'New' joe-ks...
FYI - at the start of the calendar year, all previous images will be deleted:
So when you see images, those joe-ks
were put on joe-ks.com during the current year...
Therefore, on January 1st of each year you'll see very few images
as we 'reset' the 'Newness' of the site...
If you want to know which are the most POPULAR, have a look
at the Home page where a user “Top Ranking” shows the most
popular image and video clip files...

Q:  “What's with the 'Get Stuffed' program?”
A:  Click here  for details of the new 'Get Stuffed' awards program...

Q:  “2 Pens Award for outstanding customer service?”
A:  Click here  for details of our '2 Pens' awards program...

Q:  “How can I send an image (picture) to joe-ks.com?”
A:  If you would like to send us an image, please make sure that
you are the copyright owner of the image.
If you suspect that the image is in public domain, and
it shows any form of ownership (i.e. trademark, website URL) - DON'T send it to us.

We also encourage you to look at our “Affiliates Program”


Q:  “Are your joe-ks in the public domain?”
A:  © joe-ks.com 1995-2008
Most text joe-ks are assumed to be in the public domain. Unless otherwise noted, graphics and
artwork are copyright joe-ks.com and are not to be reproduced without permission.


Q:  “Can I use one of your joe-ks for my newspaper article?”
A:  Without exception, we do not authorize use of any of our material for 'for-profit'
publication. Unless otherwise noted, graphics and artwork are
copyright joe-ks.com and are not to be reproduced without permission.


Q:  “What about Copyright issues related to image files?”
If you believe that your copyrightable work is being displayed on this site and is violating
copyright regulations - please advise us immediately and we will remove it.

November 2004: A disgruntled anonymous reader suggests that joe-ks.com is using
pirated images from other sites. Please be advised that we DO NOT knowingly use
anyone else's copyrighted material.
If you can prove to us that you know of an image which is copyright -
AND that that image was copyright BEFORE it was sent to joe-ks.com, we'll gladly either
(A) give notice to the originator(s) of same on our “Honourable Mention” page &
accredited correctly per your request, or
(B) we'll remove it from our site (provided you send us entire copyright details/links).
We're doing our best to track down the originators of every one of our images -
let us know if you can help. We'd love to hear from non-anonymous readers
who enjoy Humour/Humor and not Whine/Sour Grapes...
As to that same anonymous reader who points out that we don't know how to spell
“Honourable” - he/she's right! Neither do we know how to spell “Dubm” - or “Joe-ks”,
but that doesn't stop the “humour” or our reader's enjoyment of same around here...
Lighten up - we're a joe-ks site!


Q:  “Love the new 'GR8 Site Links' page, but I've noticed a few dead links...”
We receive many references to other sites' links, and for those which we consider as
'GR8 links', we add them to our 'GR8 Site Links' section. Why don't we add them to our own
site sections? Because we've found that - for especially the very popular links - its own
popularity is sometimes its own downfall, leading to either deletion of their link, or
re-routing to another URL.
PLEASE NOTE:  We have NO control over these external links!
If you notice a 'Dead Link', please let us know by sending an email to us - details @
Dead Links Submission
and we'll either delete it or try to find another equivalent URL for it.


Q:  “I've found more up-to-date information for one of your articles / groaners.
I'd like to send the correct info to you so that you can have it corrected...”
A:  We've added a “Corrections” section at the bottom of the  “Honourable Mention”
page. Send us your feedback & we'll correct the article & recognize you online for
your assistance!

Q:  “Some of your joe-ks aren't funny - why?”

A:  Re: Bear-ly Surviving A Poletop Electrocution & Truck Stuck
Several of the movie clips in the “Safety” and “Bizarre” sections would also
classify as not being 'funny'. We've put them there mainly as a result of
requests from several safety & training instructors who work directly
with safety-related work. These type of clips are NOT meant to offend
anyone, but to let people know of extreme hazards (in the 'Poletop Electrocution' re
electrical hazards; and in the 'Truck Stuck' re motorcycle safety).
We're sorry if any of these clips offend anyone!
The fellow who sent us the Bear-ly Surviving clip works in B.C. Hydro's Fire and Safety
department, and mentioned that it would be great for our site...
As well, a few of our groaners seem - to some people - as “too serious” and
“not funny” (i.e.  Treasure Every Moment) ... once in a while we like
to pass on 'special' stuff to our valued browsers!
