    Yes, the homepage will return and will be better than before. It will show summary information such as recent blog/forum posts, contain recent news and articles, show links to other areas of the website, and much more. It will also be easier to extend going forward.

    Your choice of time seems most logical, anticipating that a majority of forum members may be occupied with the activities of the season.

    Such occasions would seem to be your choice for upgrades to the site, which has evolved significantly, even during my brief tenure.

    To do the work during times of reduced site usage is only common sense. Yet, you recognize and utilize the cycles of time when implementing your changes.

    Fascinating........

    ........as is your new avatar.

    Who are any of us behind the shrouds we wear on-line?

    The best of the Solstice and Seasonal Greetings to you, Robert.

    Thanks Lorrina. Most of the work will take place between Christmas and the new year although the website should only be down part of one of those days. I'll give some advance warning once the downtime can be anticipated.

    I'm not sure what you mean exactly but it sounds like a lot of work . Does math without context have value?

    Well I took into account you can only count to 8, so I thought I wasn't asking too much of you. Sorry Robert I forgot you are not big into the math.

    I can confidently say that I can not only count to 8 in base 10, I can also count to 8 in base 9, base 11, base 12, 13, ...

    Now, with that out of the way, I am not sure what you're asking for when you say "place the math together on one site with a link to it". Are you refering to the LaTeX rendering of mathematical equations? This, when working, shows a mathematical forumula with a link to a popup window that shows the LaTeX code used to generate the formula. If that's your question then I can answer yes, this will be addressed and fixed in the changes coming this next week.

    If you're not refering to LaTeX, please provide a few more details and I'll try and give a better answer.

    A link to the math forums would be fine, put it right underneath the link to Biology.
    Thanks

    Will take under consideration. One problem is that we will be loosing the current skin that has links always on the left. I'll see if I can fit it in with the new navigation scheme.

    Re: Some website upgrades coming soon

    I'll be closing the forums part or perhaps most of the day tomorrow, Tuesday, for a major upgrade. Once it's done you will experience moments of joy and perhaps a few moments of sorrow. The joy I'll leave to your own discovery, but I'll give a heads up on the sorrow:
    1. The 'Thanks' button and related statistics will be removed. I'll add this back as soon as an update is available.
    2. The 'Member Articles' feature will initially revert to a regular forum thread and will not appear as an article. I'll make it more article-ish after the upgrade or move them to another article tool.
    3. The 'Live Posts' feature will be missing. I'll try and add it back but that may be after the upgrade.
    4. The chat box will be removed and replaced with another chat box. Unfortunately, all archived chat comments will be removed.
    There may be more but that's all I can think of now.
