You must remember that this site is used by people who volunteer to help students. As such these volunteers receive no payment for their efforts, but give their free time to help in whatever way they can.

Alas, when it comes to Physics and Chemistry, you will find that in general these are not popular subjects, and it is often sited that the number of students formally studying them are dropping from year to year. This is probably because of the difficulty some people associate with them. In order for them to become more active, more people need to have an interest in them, AND be interested to ask questions on those groups.

Copy and pasting of equations etc from here to word processing software is not a very good idea in my opinion, as it encourages laziness on the part of a student. A student could come in to a group, ask a question for their assignment, and then just copy and paste the answer, submit it, and get credit. This does not do the student any favours in the long term. There is nothing stopping a student copying text, but as for equations, if they want to copy, at least learn how to do it using the word processing packages equation editor. At least this way some of the solution may be percolated through their brain.

If you want to print out an answer, but the settings on your browser make it difficult to do so, you can always take a screen snap shop using the print screen function. This is located on your computer (usually on the key "prt sc" or something similar, and usually accessible with a second function key on most laptops. You can google how to do it for your own brand of computer though. When you do this, it copies what is on the monitor to the clipboard, meaning you can then paste it as an image into a art package or into word/powerpoint, and save for your records.
