This new MaplePrimes editor is not so bad as I feared. It has some quirks, to be sure. Would it be possible to add a toggle between normal and monospace text?  That would simplify the task of writing readable Maple input code, that is, it would eliminate the need to scroll the Format box.

In the thread An easy way to plot the region between two curves there are several pictures which are externally stored, i.e., they have not been uploaded to mapleprimes, but instead the sources of the images point to some outside site.

That should work, I think, but it does not, at least not where I am sitting. I see some Chinese looking art with http://blog.163.com/ (the external site at which they are stored, I assume) at the bottom of each picture.

Example: http://www.mapleprimes.com/blog/jacquesc/maple-12-wish-list

Currently, with "Comment viewing options" set to 50 (the default), I see 6 comments in the 2nd page, but clicking on their links on the block "Recent Coments" send the browser (Firefox) to the top of the first page. 

Could you solve this problem?

 

 

For the past few days I was unable to login using either my mapleprimes or maplesoft account information.

Was this happening to anyone else during the recent mapleprimes changes ?

 

 

I am still missing the implementation of the pre and code tags in the new editor. As the editor works now, having to switch back and forth between WYSIWYG view and source view, I feel it puts a higher workload on me than its predecessor did.

Also, I am missing a properly working maple tag: the browser seems to show only a fraction of the image intended. Because of this, for a couple of posts, now, I have left out informative Maple output. That can hardly be the way this site is supposed to work.

Comments have been closed on this post since it has become difficult to follow the many threads of discusson. Please post to the MaplePrimes suggestions forum with any comments that you have on the new site

Should we repost on this forum the comments made on your blog "Welcome to the Updated MaplePrimes" ?

 

I would like to flag the file http://www.mapleprimes.com/viewfile/2101.

Is there a way to flag files similar to the way that posts can be flagged?

This page says that there are five rankings in this table. But there are only four.

The new maple ranking page now uses an unconstrained table.  But my screen is really wide, which makes the result really ugly and hard to read!  In most cases, I defnitely prefer unconstrained tables, to take advantage of the full space available, but this is one case where the end results are much worse.  Could it be restored to fixed-width?

I rather liked to get updates telling me that a forum I had posted in had been updated, but now I no longer get those.  Did this feature go away, or did I somehow muck up my settings to remove this option?  [I did remove 'aggressive notification', I hope that was not it, as I do want to keep those separate].

Right now, 'jakubi' appears to be online twice -- ie his name shows up twice in the "Who's online"! Even if he is using two computers at once to read mapleprimes twice as fast, this does seem rather weird!

Each time I edit and resubmit a comment, user <blank> gains a point and I lose one.

The points aren't very important, but hey a bug's a bug.

I see the text of  "compose tips" in http://www.mapleprimes.com/filter/tips overlapping the right column.

I am observing the changes in this site, and I find that the block "Recent comments" in the right column now appears too far away at the bottom. In part because the new section "Active Student Forum Topics" was added. I do not see in "User account" > "Block configuration" an option to set the order of the blocks. Could such an option be added?

How can one add something that will show up as < in the Subject line of a posting here?

The goal is to have it show up properly both at the top of the post itself as well as in the "Recent comments" right-sidebar.

Regardless of whether the "Input format" is "Plain Text" or one of the HTML variants, a literal, typed < shows up as blank in the final displayed Subject field. Ie, it gets treated as HTML.

But with Input format as HTML, a literal, typed < displays as a nicely marked up < symbol in the Subject field but shows as raw source in the "Recent comments" field.

Is there any way to enter < symbols in the Subject line so that they appear properly in both locations?
