  • It seems that links to files in the old forum do not work,

    for example http://www.mapleprimes.com/files/102_Garch.mws

    This is the link as seen in http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/38093-Financial-Numerics-Estimating-Garch11

     

    Or otherway asked: where do I find my files (as former user no. 102)?

    A recent announcement: ViennaCL, an OpenCL (GPU) based linear algebra library.

    It would be interesting to see how it might be used from within Maple via external_calling (even if only for some simple examples).

    I can save it as one html, but would miss graphics etc (but do not want to save the full web page).

    That's why I usually print as pdf (using pdfcreator) or as postscript (properly installed ps-printer, filing outputs) to a file.

    That needs some space on the disk, but so what ...

    However for the new board only the first page is 'printed' into that  documents.

    Is there a way to get them completely?


    One inconvenient work around is: opening the page in Winword ...

    Recently (last few months) I created a post. Then during migration images were lost. It was the post about converting 2d to 3d discs. So I updated the post by adding the images. Copied it to a word file and saved it on a USB for personal reference. Now I can't find it on my USB and I'm having trouble locating it here. Now I went searching for it under my name (my contributions) and could not find it anywhere. In fact I've found some posts of mine that should be there...

    Are the following paragraphs from the new Mapleprimes Style Guide supposed to contain marked up 2DMath or interpreted Maple result, because right now they don't.

    See http://www.mapleprimes.com/help/styleguide

    "For example, if you enter <maple>x^2/y^2</maple> you will get this image: x^2/y^2

    Any Maple syntax will appear, so you can get complicated and enter this: <maple>sum(cos(x^2)/sin(exp(y)),x=1..infinity)</maple>
    which then appears as this image: sum...

    Will posted recently rules for Maplesoft employees on this site. I think, it might be a good idea to have some rules for not Maplesoft employees, too. Hopefully, they can be created collaboratively. At this time, I came to the following 5.

    1. Search Mapleprimes before asking your question. It may be already answered earlier.
    2. Be polite.
    3. Vote up the answers to your questions if you learned something from them, even if they didn't solve the problem.
    4. If you answer to somebody else's question - vote that question up - if you answering to it, you found it interesting enough to do that.
    5. Don't vote anybody's posts down - that feature is reserved for Maplesoft employees (current or former) to show us what they don't like in our posts.

    For fun, I have created a sweet and short small animation procedure, which I must say is one of my biggest programs yet (gasp!) as much as I have played with Maple I should have at least created a few more ... In any case, it is a procedure of a random set of numbers chosen and displayed in a histogram on the left with a running total tallied on the right. It is by no means efficient (but feel free to fix up my code and tweak it a little bit, and let me know so I can learn more...

    This post reports the number of replies as 7 when there are actually 13 replies

    http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/89311-Array-Of-Vectors-Physics

    As you mentioned in the other post, the comments to answers are not tallied, you might want to change the reply column as well to reflect the total number of replies and not to discount comments to answers there too.  

    I had to post here a new one because the other last action post not being updated was not updated to show it being more recently posted.

    So here is another post which is not being updated by adding a comment http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/89420-Is-Histogram-Default-Still-Displayed-Incorrectly-In-Maple-14

    It was update 3 hours ago but the...

    Users with high enough reputation on MathOverflow get increasing amounts of power on the site.  Generally, it works rather well. 

    I just finished submitting an SCR: the link to spec_eval_rules at the bottom of the ?procedure help page doesn't work in the Online Help (it works in Maple itself, though). And I can't get ?spec_eval_rules to work directly, either, in the Online Help.

    Also I was wondering, how about a badge for a certain number of SCRs?

    Why are upvotes and downvotes shown separately?  If a question/post is disliked by a lot of people, it should show up as 'negative' (like it does on MathOverflow).  And it should affect people's reputation too!  People who ask sufficiently bad questions (and enough of them) should receive this feedback from the community.  It's what makes the community self-policing!

    I suggest that the suggestions for tags that are currently listed be turned off.  This is because they are generally really bad and off-topic (and probably swallow all sorts of CPU time needlessly...).  I much prefer the auto-complete feature in *Overflow for tags (as well as a good list of common ones).

    And why does it always suggest to me the tag academic?

    The questions do not list 'MaplePrimes' as a possible topic.  And the Post does have (under MaplePrimes Suggestion), as well as talking about "Have a problem with MaplePrimes?" which sure sounds like a question!  So I don't get what the intended difference is.  It made a certain amount of sense in the previous version of Primes, but now that's *Overflow-like, I'm not sure if the distinction makes much sense anymore.

    Adding a comment to an answer doesn't seem to register it as the last action in a thread.
