[LON-CAPA-users] Tolerance Problems?

[Todd Ruskell]

All my attempts have been setting the tolerance at either the resource
level or within the problem itself.  The only way I know of to check the
accepted tolerance is via PGRD as a cc, however.  I don't think it's a
caching problem.  I do everything on the library server, and have even
logged out and back in after 15-20 minutes.
