Hi everyone,

Another good day with some excellent answers from CPhill, Alan, admin, Stu, Rosala, AzizHusain, and Will85237. Thank you all.                                                            

The King was back from the Crusades today. He honoured us with his presence and it seems there are to be big changes in the land of Camelot.

Okay, Now I will talk in English.  Mr. Massow, owner and developer of web2.0calc.com made some changes to the forum today.  

He has introduced topic coding on the threads.  The code will be chosen by the moderators.  I think it needs some refinement but I really like the idea.   

Also the look of the Questions page has changed.  The answerers (and partial answers) are not displaying as they were before.  I am not so keen on this.

The scores were also being played with today.  They were changed then returned to their former status a couple of times today.  I think it is fair to assume that a permanent change is in the air.  I have not spoken to Mr. Massow about the scoring system at all but I am in agreement that the present system is not particularly good.  

It may be a good idea for social posters to brace themselves.  I think everyone scores are likely to be slashed but social posters will be hit the hardest.  Hopefully we will all be able to live with the adjustments when they come.  I would expect some tinkering of scores to happen even after this but as I said,  I have not spoken to Mr Massow and I do not know what his intentions really are.  Please when this happens do not take it personally.   You are here because you enjoy the forum.  The points that you are given should be a very secondary pleasure.

Now for the interest posts:  

Interesting little 3D/algebra question.

Thank you everyone.
