Well now, that was two weird days,
I hope we never get another one like those !

I think that Andre Massow (creator of web2.0calc.com) heard all our cries. He sent me a very nice email.

Basically he said he is working very long hours and is self funding the site and it has been difficult for him.
He apologized for all today's technical difficulties but said that the servers are working to capacity and the site will have to be revamped in the not too distant future.
Andre said that a lot of processing capacity was used to keep spam posters out of the system. For this we should be very grateful. I have seen forums overrun by spam and I always wondered why this forum did not get similarly swamped. He was concerned though that someone was using an adblocker on the site. He needs genuine adds to generate funding. I know nothing about this, if anyone else does perhaps they could send me a private message.
He thanked me for all the time and effort that I have given to the forum. It is always nice to be appreciated. He said he had not answered any of my correspondence in the past because he gets swamped with emails, he has very little time and he simply had not seen mine.
Anyway, it was not his intent to stop this forum from functioning. I don't think that he realized that it was even being used effectively. He understands now and he says he will be considerate of our needs.

It was obviously a very quiet weekend, (except for the horror cries) but there were some great answers provided by Rom and Demogorgan.
Stu posted two more useful web sites. Thanks Stu.
1) Enrich Learning - this is an enriching maths site rather than a standard learning site, if that makes sense. It looks quite interesting.
2) Tiger maths - Algebra explained and illustrated. This also looks like a very comprehensive and worth while site.
Goodnight all,
I am glad that I am a lot happier now than I was this morning.
Melody.
