    The sad state of this forum.

    Fixed. I copied it straight from a wiki page. Okay. Well, this topic shall act as a request. Hopefully something will be done about it. Otherwise, it is disappointing to have a large forum as this w/o this particular common and basic feature.

    The sad state of this forum.

    Keyword: were. I guess they don't work well now? lol. What am I suggesting is to provide the users the option to be able to use a light-coloured theme than this. It is proven that black-on-white is far superior than any other colour scheme. What's so difficult about it? Every other forum...

    The sad state of this forum.

    Sigh, a moot point. Just because it doesn't affect your eyes it doesn't mean it won't affect anyone's else.

    The sad state of this forum.

    It is fine that some users prefer the current theme but it has been proven countless times that white on black burns an after-image in the retinas. This is precisely why major article-based websites and journals use black on white because it doesn't hurt the reader's eyes. It is cool that...

    The sad state of this forum.

    I like this forum tbh but my God is it so painful to read text from it. The black background hurts my eyes and makes reading anything of this website a living hell. Not to mention when I switch back to normal and decent websites with white foreground, I get this sort of an afterimage of the...

    CIE Phys/Chem/Bio/Psychology Books?

    I do believe I can take the A-Level exams of Edxcel. Lately, I've been reading the A-Level version of Edxcel is far better than CIE for self-study and Cambridge's one is quite hard. So, yes, please. Though, I'm really confused how I can "decipher" the syllabus PDF of Edxcel. I can quite...

    CIE IGCSE Statement of entry..

    Call the British Council and inform them your situation. They will issue you a replacement or figure you something. If you have an exam in a day or two, most of the time, you can get into the exam if you show your ID or Passport. (happened to me twice when I forgot to bring the statement with...

    CIE Phys/Chem/Bio/Psychology Books?

    I'm going to be self studying A-Levels alongside using NEC (National Extension College) online services. I'm really curious what an average CIE A-Level student studies their material from. What books do you use for the subjects listed in the title? I live in Riyadh and I have found these...

    can we self-study AS physics?

    What's stopping you? Begin now. ~,~ Anything and everything could be self studied. Sucking at something is the first step of getting better at it.

    I don't understand 'Component Options'

    What if I was a private candidate and no one to choose for me? Am I supposed to go on EX one?

    I don't understand 'Component Options'

    Hello people. I'm wondering, what do these 'Option', and 'Component Options' fields means in this PDF (last page)? I understand that the numbers under 'Combination of components' means the paper number. What I don't understand is the Option field. I recall that I took EX in my English Exam...

    Whoever has done their Igcse ENGLISH 510/oral speaking exam post your topic here

    I believe 10. I actually don't recall. Time moved too quickly that even I thought to myself "Is that it? Too quick, breh." It's a waste of energy to think like that (I mean, 'I have to speak for five minutes? 10 minutes? 20 minutes?'). The chat that you will have with the examiner is casual-...

    I don't know anyone who is taking IGCSE but me and I couldn't be arsed asking the ones who were with me. Anyway, the topic was about privacy. He asked questions such as am I satisfied with the current of privacy I get at home, some people don't want their identity to be captured by cameras in...

    Whoever has done their Igcse ENGLISH 510/oral speaking exam post your topic here

    Thanks. I'll try to. Though, after reviewing the file, I'm confused. Will candidates talk about all these subjects (8) one by one or just pick one and talk about it? (I'm taking the exam for the first time + homeschooled :p)
