Holy cow!  I forgot about that post.  I was partially referring to no 14.01 yet ...  but I'm pretty sure there is one on the way as suggested by a maplesoft member in one of my answers to a previous post.

Ironically what I thought would be a useful discussion for maplesoft to read, will bring negative thumbs down for myself thus causing me never again to voice an opinion whether there is no right or wrong to it. 

The thumbs down in itself has a tendancy to shy people away from starting useful or even interesting discussions here at mapleprimes.   

The forum thumbs opinion is a liability, it brings no added value and olnly causes confusion.

Matlab forum doesn't have it.  Such a thing doesn't exist in Mathematica.  However such is the technical aspect of such forums which won't reduce themselves by adding thumbs opinions which only seems to complicate matters and cloud issues. 

In my opinion the thumbs option came from some games forum where it belongs...nuff said on the issue.

@Roman_Pearce - You're right, no one likes to buy 2 year old software.  I was referring to satisfying the people that already own the older versions and would like bugs which still exist and have been fixed in newer versions to be fixed in the older ones.  And I do suppose to many updates would be unwelcome although if something isn't working properly would you not want a fix as soon as possible?  As they say, if it doesn't affect you, it won't bother you.

Thanks Preben, what I was forgetting to do was re-initialize one of the counters outside of the middle loop.

Thanks Doug.  I see my problem was using brackets inside display.

Thanks, but would you have converted that seq command the same way had I not mentioned Matlab?  The very mention of Matlab may have scared some people away from attempting a conversion... or they just couldn't come up with a good elegant conversion. 

I don't think I could have come up with something the FromMatlab command gave me.  Not sure if I'll use that but thanks.

How good is the conversion of code to Maple anyway.  Couple of things it had trouble with already, it couldn't translate the load('..','-ascii') command which I interperated as readdata("..",string)

Sorry to jump in here but I just now have an issue with branching and I'll say why. 

Suppose I'm reading a post and there a few answers within that post.  However, the next few days I realize there was something in that post I can use, but in the meantime the post has been "branched".  This is going to cause me some headaches and some initial confusion in trying to locate the information I thought was in the initial post. 

Suppose there exists an excellent thread on a specific issue where the topic changes throughout but fits quite well within the conversation.  I might think this would be a nice post to bundle up into a pdf and when I go to look for something within it I'll remember ... oh yeah there was something about such and such when there was a post about pointplot, or a post about code efficiency .or whatever.  My point is I'll come back to the forum a month or so later only to find out this excellent thread has been broken up or branched into many other threads which have now continued on into other discussions and other branches (shock) so now I've become totally confused becuase that one beautiful thread has been chopped up into some maham conversation .. confusion.  And certainly plays havoc with your memory when your trying remember something and god help me if I am ever to find something I remembered was in that initial single multi answer thread.

to administrator - ironically this question could be branched into a new discussion.  So I can see the logic where branching works well but I can also see where branching doesn't work well and it's not immediately apparent.  It could most certainly provoke the question "where did it go? ".

I had the same issue when running large sequences or loops on lists.  One example was when I was trying to display a sequence of plots for animation when I came across that error.  You could reduce the number of iterations. 

Interesting about changing the limit value, I didn't know that could be done.

Is it possible for the printed PDF file to not include the empty comment area at the end of the thread?  And only the posted texts?

Okay, I thought it was some heading button link on the mapleprimes forum (that I couldn't see and was expecting) that allowed an automatic creation of the thread into pdf for you.  I see now and thanks for the PDFCreator option.

You can print a thread to pdf?  How do you do that?
