Introducing myself at AoPS, and what's your magic wand?
asuth_asuth   946
N Yesterday at 11:13 PM by miles888
Hi!

I'm Andrew Sutherland. I'm the new Chief Product Officer at AoPS. As you may have read, Richard is retiring and Ben Kornell and I are working together to lead the company now. I'm leading all the software and digital stuff at AoPS. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself! I'm really excited to be part of the special community that is AoPS.

Previously, I founded Quizlet as a 15-year-old high school student. I did Course 6 at MIT and then left to lead Quizlet full-time for a total of 14 years. I took a few years off and now I'm doing AoPS! I wrote more about all that on my blog: https://asuth.com/im-joining-aops

I have a question for all of you. If you could wave a magic wand, and change anything about AoPS, what would it be? All suggestions welcome! Thank you.

Is this just my device? Typing glitch
pearlhaas   3
N Yesterday at 10:58 PM by wipid98
This started today.
When I tried to type in the AoPS homework section (as well as forums), where you put your answers into the slots, I found that I couldn’t? This might only be my device but it was delaying my work and I just thought I’d share.
I refreshed multiple times, but it only works sometimes.
Sometimes, the blinking blue bar shows but I can’t type, and other times, the blue bar doesn’t show at all.
I am able to type this forum up since this was one of the few times that my device let me type (for more, I have an iPad. Not sure what generation, but it’s a pretty recent version, I believe).
If this is a problem with my device, I apologize for wasting your time :)
Just wanted to make sure I could get this notice out if others have the same problem.

the responses part seems to affect it a lot, time doesn't seem that important, and I can't really tell with the standard.
