I propose a huge mapleprimes suggestion.  What would happen if you re-opened the old mapleprimes site?

I propose you run both mapleprimes old and mapleprimes new at the same time for a few of months and see which site becomes more active.  Users will gravitate towards the one that is better layed out, easier to navigate, and seems to work better.  Mapleprimes can track which site becomes more active.  Currently the data of comparing...

I would like to translate Maple's products into Russian and to help russian users in Maple's education.

I have just seen this old thread in the "Recent" list, and, as I remember it well and because of curiosity, I have looked at it again. By browsing it, I have noted that as it stands right now, it makes little sense. As I keep a local Primes 1 backup, I have compared both and got a new unpleasant surprise to be added to the list brought by Primes 2: many posts (ten or more) in this thread, by Jacques, Joe, mine, etc, are missing, and the order of some remaining posts is altered. 

Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook all have buttons/badges to allow users to promote their profiles/pages on their own external websites.  Does MaplePrimes have anything similar?  MaplePrimes members would love it, and it would it be a great way to raise the visibility of MaplePrimes on the vast web landscape. For comparison, here are the pages where Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook supply their buttons/badges:

In a recent blog post, I pointed out that Maple did not have a built-in functionality for drawing graphs that arise in computing volumes by slices. However, I did provide several examples of ad-hoc visualizations that one could build with the graphing tools in Maple.

Recently, a user called attention to a weakness in the Student Calculus 1 command, VolumeOfRevolution. This command (and the tutor built on it) will draw a surface of revolution bounded by the surfaces generated by revolving the graph of one or two functions.

I have just published a new update to MaplePrimes. This fixes a number of issues and ads a couple of new features.

• Autocompletion of tags now works. When you are typing a tag in, a list of possible completions appears, you can click or arrow down to select one of these tags.
• We have added a new Products list. This shows all Maplesoft products that have Posts or Questions associated with them. This link has been added to the top bar, the Tags link has been moved to the "More" drop down. 
• The ordering on the Recent pages has been fixed to sort by last action date descending.
• You can now view tags such as 2Dmath
• Paging has been fixed for many sections of the site including the tag details page
• If you choose to upload files when editing an item, the new file will now work correctly.
• If you choose to convert your Comment into an Answer, you now have the ability to choose the correct parent for that comment.

Some mailing systems are down.  So anyone sending a message from mapleprimes won't recieve it until the systems are back online, which could be a few days (rather quite annoying).  Other mailing systems go down at various times as well. 

Rest assured, before, as long as you could log into mapleprimes, you could message any mapleprime member and at least you knew who that person was.  As with the new primes if in your own hotmail, gmail, sympatico...

Here's an assume vs assuming difference worth keeping in mind

> restart:
> is(x^2>=0) assuming x::real;
                                     true
 
> restart:
> f := proc() is(x^2>=0); end proc:
> assume(x::real):
> f();
                                     true
 
> restart:
> f := proc() is(x^2>=0); end proc:
> f() assuming x::real;
                                     false

In the recent tab, the time goes from 59 min to 2 hours ago. There is no such thing as an hour ago.

Before I used to be able to call a list of everything I ever posted into one list ... nice

Now I have 3 seperate buttons I have to search (all questions, all answers or all posts) to go to if I'm searching for something I posted.  It is slower than before so even though it's only 3 buttons to search through, it's a bit of a pain.

Can we have one button for that?

When typing in mapleprimes there is a delay when you type.  I am on dial-up so if you highspeed users think it's slow, it is.  Fixing this problem will help speed up high speed users too.

William fixed this issue a while ago but this problem has come back about a week ago or more.

How is the mapleprimes site usage statistics now after the site change over?

Does the site have less traffic from it's regular or veteran users?  I know there are many more posts related to mapleprimes format and probably less related to Maple software except for new users popping in to ask questions. 

I find myself visiting this site less frequently than I used to. 

I am using Maple 14 in Windows xp.

If you enter an equation, or expression into a table the screen display shows more than adequate amount of blank space remaining in that particular table row.  However, when you look at the document in print preview or after printing it out you find that the free space in the row is not correctly displayed.  This is by no means subtle.  For example, I enter an equation into a table and it looks like at...

I've seen a few people talk about how they are bookmarking /recent/all instead of /recent/unread. I wasn't sure why they were working this way, but realized they might not realize how /unread works.

/unread lists all Posts and Questions on MaplePrimes that you have not viewed. Once you click on one of those items, it no longer appears on the list. However, if the item is updated or a comment or answer is added to the item, it will re-appear in the /unread list. This means that by checking /unread, you will see everything that is posted to MaplePrimes, even if it posted after you last viewed that thread.

I believe the confusion was that items don't re-appear in the /unread when replies are posted, so people were viewing /all so they could see everything. I hope this clears things up.
