  • Are the following paragraphs from the new Mapleprimes Style Guide supposed to contain marked up 2DMath or interpreted Maple result, because right now they don't.

    "For example, if you enter <maple>x^2/y^2</maple> you will get this image: x^2/y^2

    Any Maple syntax will appear, so you can get complicated and enter this: <maple>sum(cos(x^2)/sin(exp(y)),x=1..infinity)</maple>
    which then appears as this image: sum...

    Will posted recently rules for Maplesoft employees on this site. I think, it might be a good idea to have some rules for not Maplesoft employees, too. Hopefully, they can be created collaboratively. At this time, I came to the following 5.

    1. Search Mapleprimes before asking your question. It may be already answered earlier.
    2. Be polite.
    3. Vote up the answers to your questions if you learned something from them, even if they didn't solve the problem.
    4. If you answer to somebody else's question - vote that question up - if you answering to it, you found it interesting enough to do that.
    5. Don't vote anybody's posts down - that feature is reserved for Maplesoft employees (current or former) to show us what they don't like in our posts.

    For fun, I have created a sweet and short small animation procedure, which I must say is one of my biggest programs yet (gasp!) as much as I have played with Maple I should have at least created a few more ... In any case, it is a procedure of a random set of numbers chosen and displayed in a histogram on the left with a running total tallied on the right. It is by no means efficient (but feel free to fix up my code and tweak it a little bit, and let me know so I can learn more...

    As you mentioned in the other post, the comments to answers are not tallied, you might want to change the reply column as well to reflect the total number of replies and not to discount comments to answers there too.  

    I had to post here a new one because the other last action post not being updated was not updated to show it being more recently posted.

    So here is another post which is not being updated by adding a comment http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/89420-Is-Histogram-Default-Still-Displayed-Incorrectly-In-Maple-14

    It was update 3 hours ago but the...

    Users with high enough reputation on MathOverflow get increasing amounts of power on the site.  Generally, it works rather well. 

    I just finished submitting an SCR: the link to spec_eval_rules at the bottom of the ?procedure help page doesn't work in the Online Help (it works in Maple itself, though). And I can't get ?spec_eval_rules to work directly, either, in the Online Help.

    Also I was wondering, how about a badge for a certain number of SCRs?

    Why are upvotes and downvotes shown separately?  If a question/post is disliked by a lot of people, it should show up as 'negative' (like it does on MathOverflow).  And it should affect people's reputation too!  People who ask sufficiently bad questions (and enough of them) should receive this feedback from the community.  It's what makes the community self-policing!

    I suggest that the suggestions for tags that are currently listed be turned off.  This is because they are generally really bad and off-topic (and probably swallow all sorts of CPU time needlessly...).  I much prefer the auto-complete feature in *Overflow for tags (as well as a good list of common ones).

    And why does it always suggest to me the tag academic?

    The questions do not list 'MaplePrimes' as a possible topic.  And the Post does have (under MaplePrimes Suggestion), as well as talking about "Have a problem with MaplePrimes?" which sure sounds like a question!  So I don't get what the intended difference is.  It made a certain amount of sense in the previous version of Primes, but now that's *Overflow-like, I'm not sure if the distinction makes much sense anymore.

    Adding a comment to an answer doesn't seem to register it as the last action in a thread.

     

    It seems if I have already looked at a mapleprimes question, and I reload it again when it has been updated, mapleprimes does not load the latest information but instead loads what I have previously looked at. In order to view the updated page, I have to load the page and then refresh it. I don't think it's too much to ask to fix this. If I check the recent tab it will only show when I checked it last (ie. if it was last night and I load it now, I'll see last nights...

    It's now possible to get a list of all posts with a given tag. Simply click on that tag from the tags page.

    And we can use the Search box at that page.

    But how can we do "advanced" searches, for combinations of tags built up with not/and/or, etc?

    Sorry, if it's obvious.

    When trying to access beyond the first page of results for a given tag I get a 404 page-not-found error.

     I would like to pay attention of the Maple Primes Users to a Sergey Moiseev application. This is a Maple package on orthogonal expansions, which can be implemented in Maple as a usual package with a usual help. It  has Community Rating 4 stars. This package can be downloaded from http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=33406
