@jakubi Look at this result from querying the old MaplePrimes database:

You'll see that the timestamp for your comment, "Individual vs collaborative" is before alec's. New primes always shows comments in the order they were published in ascending order. And this matches what is in the old database.

 

Also, I branched this conversation into a seperate post, as the conversation in unrelated to the original topic.

The popular tags lists tags that have had been applied to the most questions and posts over all time. So the list doesn't reflect recent activity on the site. So we don't expect it to change often.

There might be value in a "Recently Popular Tags", and we'll think about adding that.

@Alec Mihailovs The re-import took several hours, it's likely that your comment is there now. It just finished some time during the evening. I saw that a comment was re-added to the Cartesian Products post. 

Please check if you see any that are still missing, if any are, I'll look into recovering them as well.

@Alec Mihailovs This comment (StringTools:-Generate) was restored when I ran the re-import. Is this the comment that you were missing?

@jakubi I am currently running a process that is recovering a number of comments that didn't get imported into New Primes. We do have a full backup of old Primes. 

There are a number of uploaded files that are missing, but I am certain the migration to new Primes was not the reason these files were lost. 

@Joe Riel I changed the < and > to &lt; and &gt; since I'm pretty sure that's what you meant

That's a good idea. I'll ask our designer to see if he can come up with some buttons.

Also, I converted your Question into a Post, so that I could put it in the MaplePrimes Suggestions category.

I see that Axel has used new Primes to convert this into a Post, thank you!

@fwchapman Your title now appears in your public profile

A note that in the new Primes, Posts that get promoted to the front page will stay there even if the Post is updated. Posts in new Primes are promoted through user votes instead of Moderator approval.

@JacquesC The new MaplePrimes allowed me to convert this from a Question to a Post

Autocompletion of tags now works.

Yes, the tags on your old posts were added automatically. This was done simply by looking for predefined tags that were contained in the text of your post.
