Changes with brilliant messageboard

HEre's where we talk about changes, suggestions, questions, etc.

Ive noticed that the reply features are different. It's a little less flashy.

#MessageBoards

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.

I don't really like the re-introduced "Downvote" feature. Instead, I think there should be a flag feature for inappropriate comments.

There are inappropriate comments on brilliant? I've never.....wait, are you talking about how two smart Alec's get mad when the other challenges his/her logic. That's pretty dang common on brilliant.
