It doesn't work with Maple 12.01, not sure about 12.02 but probably not. 

Seems as though it was a little glitch that has already been fixed.  As fast as the problem appeared it is gone now. 

Must be some changes happening at the mapleprimes as we speak.  I just noticed the recent categories did not have the tab options, and just moments ago they have re-appeared. 

No, I don't believe it has been fixed yet.

I did suggest a good free 3rd party alternative "hotkeybind" in this post found here http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/36941-No-TABkey.  Although I'm not sure if it's still available. 

Since maple would not adapt to it's users requests, users had to adapt to Maple.  I think people that didn't adapt to Maple I'm sure got fed up with them and chose other software or downgraded as you did.

 

...(from below moved up I thought this would be an important point)  There should be a region of text for the down vote entered before a down vote can go through so that people can see why those down votes are there.  Bad coding, memory intensive ... etc ... but it must be selected from a predefined list of words before the down vote can be registered so that not just any text be entered.  This way other people can see why the down votes are there ...(moving back down to original spot) 

There is a lot of discrepancy in how down votes should be used.  Will says they are there for ... such and such... however someone new and or old may not have read those rules.  In which case they will be used for the obvious.  Cases such as not liking the code someone wrote. 

In fact I just saw a post that had 3 down votes!  Why?  I don't know because all the person did was present a different method he found.  A perfectly good anwer, Cool!  The down votes just didn't fit,  I enjoy to find different ways of doing the same thing as it gives me more options to play around with.  As for the reason for the down votes, we'll never know.  There should be a seperate reason ... (stuff moved to first paragraph) ... 

I can't see the advantage a math forum would have with up and down votes without explanation, it just doesn't seem to add value without it. 

 

Hmm, it seems all the book pages are missing.  I made a suggestion that the category be kept, and if I remember correctly was told nothing would be lost.

Famous last words, there have been a few cases of missing images.  But they do have a backup of the old mapleprimes as I was told ... so they should just be able to pluck out the posts and put them in a category.  Maple 401 etc... I did have a link to a pdf file for maple which I uploaded and haven't had any luck finding yet.

Yes there are missing posts.  Weren't we assured there would be no content loss?

Anyone else actually experience this?  And does it still exist in newer versions?

I am using Internet explorer 6.  Doesn't it work the same on all?  

Okay, I went back and re-uploaded and re-inserted the images into my post.

I'll I'll be bookmarking my webpage for the recent too.  I didn't see the all button there before.

And how about the format?  Lots of blank blue space on the sides.  I thought they would be filled with what I've shown in the image below .. I mean above, I guess the image got put above instead.

 

I agree. 

I haven't seen any down votes anywhere yet, although I may see some as I explore the site more.  However I don't really see the point of them.  I think down votes should be removed.  If it's just a comment to flame another user then that comment should be removed or not even written, flag message usually takes care of that.  If it's someone disagreeing with the way someone writes code then it doesn't mean it's a bad comment or one that should be avoided, just another way of doing things. 

If someone is keeping track of how many votes are up and how many down for site changes, then maybe the up down votes should only belong under the suggestions category?  Just a thought. 

Maybe Up and down votes for questions should only be available to the one who posted the question, so not merely someone voting because they simply like the answer but the questioneer voting for the best answer to his question.  But pretty much all of the time, I find, questions are answered quite well.

Or just have a tag referring to the best answer and highlight the most thumbs up answer with a thick green border or something.

As a follow up I would suggest to duplicate the best answer and have it placed below the question.  As well as keeping all answers in order below that.  This way there would be no break in a series of comments and thus keep the whole thread fluid. 

As an example to show what I mean.

I had some links this morning, but they appear to be working.  I will let you know if I find more.

I decided to go back and check some other posts.  Here's one answer from beekek from Doug Meade who's image is also missing. http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/39533-CurveFitting

I know becuase I was saving posts to word for my own archive and I can cross check some of them. 

 

That's what I was afraid of. 

Are there older posts of anyone else who has posted images that are missing?
