@jinadarcy0610262.on.me @x3euny604 Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
I was wondering what was going on with the visual presentation. I like it. :-)
WHOA! Font change -- I like.

@joegotbored149 You can edit your post so that it just reads "Deleted".
* FireFox - PDF fix. Starting about a week ago, the first page of some pdfs were not loading, especially for one page pdfs. Fixed now.
Can we have a "delete post" option? I think it's annoying you can only edit but not delete the entire post.

Thank you! I love this website!

@devinbalut560.balut Thanks!
@joegotbored149 There is a really rudimentary hashtag system right now, if you #tag, it produces a link that searches the forum for "#tag". I hope that helps!
* Personal Statement 3 all drafts and commentary now available:
http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/personal-statement-3-draft-1-read-and-evaluate/
7sage should have a hashtag system where we can look up hashtags like on Instagram lol

@alan-91620
Thanks for the quick answer. This is such a well run site it's insane.
Screw it I love you guys, I'm gonna buy a course for June's test this weekend - broke or not.
As for rankings I only noticed it because the discrepancy was within the same test (PT 42). Is the normalization also done between game sections? Makes a lot of sense for stuff like J07. Probably looked like the hardest test in existence before that.
@jy-ping and @devinbalut560.balut The difficulty rankings are somewhat based on % correct, but are also normalized against a variety of factors. For instance, a lot of 7Sagers take June 2007 as a diagnostic test before doing any prep. If we didn't normalize for that, then questions in J07 could be rated as more difficult than they actually are.
@joegotbored149 Thanks!
@alan-91620 You(and dev team peoples/however the site is run) are the man
