Bug Report

The new brilliant has a feature such that if you click on a note it will open in a way such that when you close it you are back at where you started instead of going to another page. However for some reason i can't see the comments of the post if i open the post that way but i can see it if i open it in a new tab. Can the staff look into this?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

That's strange! We'll look into it.

If this is still happening to you, could you please send me a screenshot at silas@brilliant.org? I've not been able to reproduce this error...

Yan Yau Cheng - 7 years, 4 months ago

Here is a guide for how to take a screenshot on any system: http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
Then take the file that it creates, and send it to me at silas@brilliant.org.
