Nah. It's not Roger Waters or Iron Maiden, so what could we be missing out on?

Spent the day wandering Sydney cos my mum had a meeting at a hotel there, had to go to the hotel tho in the end so I spent the day reading really weird and old books in the hotel's small but strange library.

That one was a *very* strange read. 

I see your strange book and raise you

Can you find the new features I added to the site before I write a post tomorrow morning? I will give you cookies if you can find both of them!

One: the feature that tells you it's someone's birthday is now below the 'who's online' thing. There's also a 'who was online' below that, which I think is new.

You can also toggle the categories on the main page, but I can't tell if that's actually knew or I've never noticed it before.

That's true! But I actually did that earlier today. (And the birthday widget was in the sidebar before.) The members online in the last few hours is newish though. But there are two other things!

Only noticed this because of @Flynn in the update thread but the won the day banners are a fun little addition

I really wasn't expecting to have one but apparently I was wrong, albeit from quite some time ago.

[A Budgie she/her]

Huh, no wonder I didn't notice that. My content doesn't get many likes.

Here's the differences I noticed (other than the birthdays moving and who's been online in the last 12 hours being added):

• Chat was moved from the top bar to the menu on the far right.
• Now that menu is split into "Other Areas" and "Site Info" (I don't think it was before, but I'm not sure when I last looked at it.)
  • Except not on the mobile version--those things are all under "More" there, and there's no link to the Chat.
• Now there's a link to a Leaderboard in that menu (although it's separate from the "More" menu on the mobile version).
• The Stream button now opens a menu instead of just going to my default stream.
• The Popular Contributors sidebar now links to the Leaderboard (and the link's the same color as its background, so you can only read it if you mouse over or highlight it).
• *Looks at posts in the Server Maintenance thread* Oh, I think the button to share on Pinterest might be new, but I'm pretty sure the others were already there. And it looks like the new banners on people's profiles are related to the new Leaderboard.

I'm guessing the two new features you're talking about are the Leaderboard and better Stream management.

Christ is risen!

So I went to a concert on Thursday, but forgot to mention it then.

Oh, well. Turns out today's better for it anyways. Here're some of my favorite songs from it:

Well, he already was, but 'tis a good day to celebrate it!

And to anyone who doesn't, I hope you have a great day too!

Traditional Easter greeting (or at least here it's traditional)

I had to use some google-fu to find the English greeting and Wikipedia told me it's "Christ is risen!" and the response would be "Truly, He is risen!". Obviously, I have no idea if and where this greeting exists

Heh, I know.  In our church, we usually use a variation of what you found.  "Christ is risen!" and then the response would be "He is risen indeed!".  Same meaning, just a slight wording change.

I prefer the traditional, "Happy Zombie Jesus Day".

You found them! Yay, you get some cookies. 

There were a few things I didn't notice in my testing, like the mobile menu and some issues with Tags, which I'm working to resolve.

...So, by cookies, do you mean cookies, or "cookies"?

...Look, it's not my fault that the Shard has turned cookies into a byword for "heamulrgic spikes"

I must say I for one don't see websites that ask me to agree to their use of cookies the same way anymore.

I guess it turns every web browsing session into an adventure of epic proportions. I mean, you get to risk your life with each and every website you visit.

You guys make it seem like Hemalurgy is a bad thing.

You get magical powers! How awesome. Sure there's a price, but hey, that guy had it coming. Hemalurgy is the solution to all problems. A person cuts you off in driving? Well he will never make that mistake again when you cut into him with a Hemalurgic spike. Problem solved. Police coming after you because of your spiking rampages? Good thing you have magical abilities to stop them. 

Unlimited power, for the low, low cost of some metal of the correct alloys! Try Hemalurgy today! 

(17th Shard is not responsible for your actions. We just give you the spikes. What you do with them is your business. We respect privacy! Also, we legally don't want to know what you do with them.)

Hahaha. I think @Mestiv and @Chaos will either laugh or cringe at this (or possibly both):

That math is totally valid.

Just like sin(x)/6 equals to n.
