| Jul 5, 2013 at 21:54 | comment | added | Jonathan Beardsley | I think it's an interesting point. Almost everyone who is not a research mathematician (or physicist, computer scientist, etc.) hasn't the slightest idea of what research mathematics is! | |
| Jul 5, 2013 at 19:42 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | Maybe we can make the words $$\Huge\sf\text{Research Mathematics}$$ somehow prominent on the top of the site? | |

| Jul 5, 2013 at 11:44 | comment | added | Neil Strickland | To be fair, I think that the new help page is still not in a good state and does not make the relationship between MO and MSE very clear; the old faq was much better. I see that the FAQ now exists at meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/203/… but there are no prominent links there. As I understand it, only the moderators are able to edit the main help pages; I hope they will get to that at some point. | |
