@acer I probably shouldn't have said "Moderators", we absolutely wish for the site to be community run. The ideal setup would be when the site works well without any moderation by Maplesoft moderators. When we allow this curation, it will definitely be done by high reputation users, and not a Maplesoft selected group of users.

@acer I've converted this to a question.

We plan to add a feature allowing high reputation users to easily convert Posts <-> Questions and Comments <-> Answers soon. We hope that the community can help to keep all of the content in the appropriate types.

@Axel Vogt The delay is due to a database job that runs every 15 minutes. So in most cases, the delay will be less than 15 minutes.

Yes, you need to be logged in. That's why the "Recent" link goes to /all when you are logged out. And definitely if you want to go back to posts you've already viewed, /all is what you need.

@Christopher2222 I converted your reply to a Comment. You are replying to Robert's answer, so this belongs as a comment. If it were left as an Answer, it might lose it's order when another Answer is posted.

The historian badge goes back to the launch of the first MaplePrimes. There was a problem with that badge, which has been fixed. And you now have earned that badge.

It's already been requested that we show how a member earned certain badges. I can also see the value in seeing Posts together that have helped people to earn that badge. We'll consider adding that feature.

We plan to add sorting options to the site, so in all cases you'll be able to sort by Rank/Date Added/Date Updated.

We probably won't add the Posts drop down you requested. The current volume of posts is so small, that I don't see the need for direct access to the separate categories. 

We will likely re-visit the number of up-votes required for the various badges. No one has earned any of the up-vote related badges yet, so it may be important that we change the numbers required.

We have plans for adding a way for Moderators to curate the best content on the site, it would be more formal than simply adding a tag. 

Thanks for pointing out the bad link, we'll fix that soon.

In the footer for every Post and Question there is a "Subscribe" link next to the number of views on the right. Click that link, and a subscription will be created for you.

See here. I was able to copy about 700 worksheets from the MapleNet directory, back to MaplePrimes. So most worksheet files should now be recovered including the one you linked to.

This feature has been requested many times, and we have added it to the todo list.

We would likely implement it as an export to PDF so that we can include the text and images in a single file.
