Stop ordering posts based on the number of thumbs up. 

It's certainly not fair when someone comes up with an original idea that causes a flurry of other great ideas only to have yours shoved to end because it got less up votes.  It gives someone else all the credit and I'm not a happy camper.  My post got deleted because it had a down vote and got shoved to the very end. 

Mapleprimes page order is out. 

Okay, I decided to dig back into the beginning of mapleprimes pages.  So one would logically think to go to the last page here on mapleprimes ... that would be page 200.  So off I went and to my surprise, nothing is in order.  I expected to find posts in a logical order from first to last at least from 2006 or so but instead I'm finding pages labelled as new as 2009 there. 

Maybe we could have a button...

Just a suggestion to make it easier to determine wether a question is still open or has been answered.

I have noticed there are many questions that have not been answered throughout mapleprimes history so here I am suggesting that a small yellow circle in front of the question denote an open question and a small green circle to represent answered questions.

Sometimes I come across unanswered questions, and it is still open but looks like it could be answered. ...

Under the Recent tab where you select Your Contributions.  It does not show all my posts.  Why is that?

Specifically, one example, my post on Wordle is not shown when I select My Contributions.  The only way I can see it is if I use All posts.  Please fix.

It's a new school year and traffic is up.  Just wondering what happened to the student maple forum?

Also as a suggestion, some forums have sticky's, a post that stays at the beginning of the forum where users can generally find welcome information and helpful starter hints, yes it's impossible to cover everything but something would be nice for the new users.
