@Alec Mihailovs I've tested the search results and get different results on each page. Can you please post a link where you see that page 1 and 2 contain the same results?

@Alec Mihailovs I converted the Comment containing your answer into an Answer. Should fix this confusion.

@Alec Mihailovs I converted the Comment containing your answer into an Answer. Should fix this confusion.

@Alec Mihailovs My guess is the down vote is because it isn't clear what your question is. From my eyes, I just see a block of Maple code without a problem to solve. 

You are correct that questions will appear in the Unanswered tab if they only contain comments.

I plan to spend time in the future fixing up the questions that appear there to convert the appropriate Comments into Answers so they no longer appear there.

For now, you should be able to safely assume that Unanswered questions posted in June or later, definitely have no answers.

Badges are granted to users using an application automatically. Definitely not a manual process.

However, the application is not currently set to run on an automatic schedule, so I need to manually run the application. I'll be setting the application to run automatically soon, it will run hourly so your badges will appear shortly after you earn them.

First, the 2-D math that is missing in Allan's post is due to images that were not copied over when we switched MapleNet servers, my apologies, those images cannot be recovered.

2-D Math now works very well on MaplePrimes, the easiest way to enter it is using the  button in the editor because it gives you a live preview of the math, so you'll know if it will be formatted as you expect.

MathML is no longer supported on MaplePrimes, you will need to enter your 2-Math using the Maple syntax. We will be updating the MaplePrimes Style guide shortly to reflect this.

There is support for that feature already in the code, we decided that to begin with, that we wouldn't allow users to add tags to other peoples posts. But we may add that feature in the near future.

@Axel Vogt Yes, your old subscriptions are gone. As I said, we didn't see the value in importing that old data since it's unlikely that there will be further comments to old content.

@Axel Vogt We cache the information used to generate the /recent pages for performance. It will take up to 15 minutes for new content to appear there.

@Axel Vogt your subscriptions appear here. We did not import the subscriptions from the old MaplePrimes as we figured saving that data was not needed since it's unlikely there will be additions made to old Posts. No, it is not currently possible to subscribe to specific users, though we may add that in the future.

If you use RSS, you can subscribe to an RSS feed of all of the contributions made by a user by adding /feed to the User's profile URL. For example, my feed is here:

http://www.mapleprimes.com/users/will/feed

@fwchapman Those fields don't currently appear anywhere publicly. We'll likely be adding that information to the public user profile soon.
