Just FYI: With the new forum arrangement, I'm finding it frustrating again that I can't go from here to the Moebius Noodles blog. Is there a link somewhere that I haven't noticed?

I attached an image to my post (jpg), but it does not seem
to be appearing alongside the message. Is there some additional step I need to take to make the image visible?
@mercado, I see your message at the Week One thread, but no image! You can edit your message (the gear icon at the top right corner of the message) to add the image to it. Here are the screenshots with arrows that show what you need to click to add images. Please let me know if it does not work the second time, and I will check if there is a bug.
Thank you for trying. I filed a bug report, and I will let you know when it's resolved. It may have to do with the image size over 530k. Meanwhile, you can email the image to moby@moebiusnoodles.com or post it somewhere else online and insert a link into your comment. Thank you very much for helping to make this platform better!

I followed the link to the recording of the Blackboard meeting, but I do not get access to any recording. Downloading of the app works, but in the program I see a picture with your name and that's it.
@hdongen, do you see the program bar at the bottom right of that picture? Sometimes the recording only starts playing when the whole thing finishes downloading. Is your Java enabled? Try the link again and let me know if it works this time! https://sas.elluminate.com/p.jnlp?psid=2013-09-10.1743.M.B41FC4AB0A3565F8BCAE1B600D6595.vcr&sid=2008350 The session, for my part, was not as smooth as I like; I had had an emergency root canal done two hours earlier.

I missed the seminar. Is it recorded so I can catch up? I also did not receive anything after registering except updates from the introduction. I am unsure how to proceed at this point. I would really love to learn as my kids are young but are very good at operations on paper. They are too young to move on to geometry and algebra. I had wanted to learn more conceptual, creative ways to learn the basics like multiplication. What can I do?
@lholte, you should be getting newsletters called Multiplication Observer at the email you used to register here at Ask and Tell. They come from moby@moebiusnoodles.com - please check if they got into spam. The emails have instructions and links. Please let me know if you are not receiving emails.
Since you can see this thread, all course tasks are here: http://ask.moebiusnoodles.com/spaces/201/wowmult.html
