Which reminds me: I still can't access either notes, articles or lectures in the links in that nav bar. I always get a 502 error. I've cleared my cache, changed browsers, changed IP addresses, and it still doesn't work. Yet on some other computers it works, but not consistently. This is probably an issue on my end, but I assume it's also an issue for some others (?) and it's just worth you knowing.

Hey Sly,
Could ya put the blog as a tab in the nav bar. With notes, forum, articles, calc. The blog has heaps of good info but it feels neglected in a way.

Hi SlyDev,
I'm also wondering about the LaTeX situation that zsteve described above. It would be great if there was a tag for inline display and a separate tag/option to make it centred display!
Another thing that's a bit strange is the cell margins/padding for tables. Pretty sure not many people use them, but whenever I put tables in my posts there seems to be no margins at all. For example,
--- Code: ---[table][tr][td]Cell[/td][td]Cell[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]There's no margin here>[/td][td]<there[/td][/tr][/table]
--- End code ---
gives
CellCellThere's no margin here><there
Thanks for all your work so far!

lol I didn't even know this thread existed until now.

Tutor Listing (Beta!):
http://atarnotes.com/tutors/
This is an old page that was removed about 6 months ago, it is designed for users to use their existing Atar accounts to make a tutor listing specifying what tutoring services they are offering for subjects in location and times and rate. Like notes this functionality has been completely rebuilt in an effort to move away from the legacy code and system. I am hoping that now this page is back it will start to replace the 'looking for X' boards (e.g. VIC Wanted) making an easier to use and browse system for users to offer and find tutoring services. Though are at the stage where we need people using the system to see how it is received and what it is missing.
Anyways as always let me know how you all go with these tools, any feedback is appreciated and will be considered in ongoing development of the website. I have a huge list of things to do and have been wanting to get into but been caught up with optimizing the speed and methods of the existing site. I am for the most part happy with that however there is always room for improvement and things that I might have missed.

Is this actually happening or is it still in test mode? The page appears with no listings and I wasn't aware of the page because there's no tab anywhere.
I was actually going to raise this at the end of the year but the removal of the tuition board hurt me a bit in terms of getting students this year. I received far fewer requests from ATARNotes (and I only have one student from the forum this year) and I was forced to put up listings on other websites for the first time - yes, I used to only list on ATARNotes and I would still fill up all of my places. To make sure it wasn't just me I checked with a couple of other people who were experiencing the same difficulties, and some of them have reduced their activity on this forum because they felt their contributions were no longer valued (i.e. the respect that they had accumulated via helping out started to become a bit meaningless) - drastic in my opinion, but it's happened. A lot of the time when I got requests in the past the user (a student or a parent) had found the directory from a google search and deliberately signed up to the forum to contact me, and after starting work with them I encouraged them to stick around and become a part of the community themselves. I think getting this tuition board back as soon as possible would only be a benefit to the community to make sure our experienced members stay and also to grow the community with new members. :)

Just a minor suggestion here with the implementation of LaTeX on the forums, it seems that any equations we write automatically get rendered on a new line, consequently some posts look pretty bad. Back in the old days, they were rendered to image and then inserted inline. Would it be possible to fix this?
For instance:
To get the area of a circle, we multiply , our radius squared, by

Courtesy of Joey, we now have \(inline\space Latex\) for all you Maths nerds.
Using [tex ][/tex] will still give you the new line version, as will $ $double dollar signs$$
But doing \ (this\) should render inline \(like\space so\) :)
