I am finding, if you add to an old question directed towards someone at maplesoft before the weekend but after a maplesoft business day has ended, your question may not be answered or addressed. This is because your new question in the thread has been swamped by newer questions and yours has trickled down the list and essentially becomes buried or lost. 

I also find too much information related to posted questions are being summarized in the top level making it...

Today I found that login does not work on MaplePrimes.  I changed my password, but still not.

There is no error, I am just returned to the provious page, still not logged in.

Safari 5.1.2, Mac OS 10.6.8

I had to log in using Firefox to post this!

The loading of Facebook plugins really slows mapleprimes down.  Can we get rid of the facebook connections entirely? 

I have also noticed mapleprimes takes much longer to load pages when logged in as opposed to browsing mapleprimes logged out.  Again could be the facebook issue.

Recently I've run into a strange problem logging into the MaplePrimes site.  I have two computers, both running Debian linux.  On one, I can login in using the FireFox browser.  On the other I cannot.  It accepts the password, but immediately reopens the window that prompts for a password.  If, however, I switch to the chrome browser on that machine, I can then login.  Any idea why Firefox (aka IceWeasel, on Debian) would have an issue?  Have I configured something strangely?...

Cannot find own answer in

via searching in my answers. Is it because original message is too old and thats why should be so?

Dear Mapleprimes,

I have a problem with the sum command. I'm differentiating wrt. a value q[i] in a sum. I have the following:

diff(sum((1/2)q[i], i=1..n),q[i]);

This returns:

n(1/2)

but I'm differentiating wrt. q[i] not the whole sum. Any ideas?

Thanks very much.

Dear Mapleprimes,

I'm trying to add a sequence of numbers using the add command. It appears that it can only add up to a specific number. The following works:

add(2*i, i=1..5)

gives 30.

But it is not possible to do:

add(2*i, i=1..n)

such that n is a parameter.

Does anyone know how to add a finite series of values where n is unknown?

Has anyone else experienced display problems of mapleprimes messages? It's happened to me at least 5 times in just a few days, with both firefox and internet explorer. This is what I see there:

Sometimes "editing" the message helps in seeing what's inside, but not this time:

Sometimes if code is not made available to download it must be transcribed or copied (I prefer the select content, crtl-c (copy), crtl-v (paste), route.  However sometimes the code must be decoded due to the way 2-D math is interpreted when it is copied to Notepad. 

For example,

a:=(x,t)->5*x+3*t*x^2    

in Standard mode looks like       a := proc (x, t) options...

Several things are broken on mapleprimes right now, including

- embedded (full) worksheets as displayed 2D Math, etc

- reputation plots for several (if not most) members

- both moderator badge updates

I have remarked on this ever since the launch of the second incarnation of mapleprimes. And I recall others expressing similar feelings.

1. It should be possible to "vote" for comments in the same way as we can vote for "answers".
2. The comments should be listed, right there next to Answers:

This is a continuation branch of the thread "cut/paste" won't work..." See point #1 below.

1. Why won't #$%^ Mapleprimes editor let me reply to the original post? I press "add comment" and I get pointed back to the branch two steps back. Anything I write comes out blank when I submit, so now there are two blank replies credited to me! Does that give me points I don't deserve?

2. Classic worksheet isn't "still there". It says so in the readme that classic worksheet...

A recent announcement said that downvoting was removed because "many MaplePrimes did not like it".  MaplePrimes?  Is that what are we called?  How about primers?  Or maybe primarians?

We have published an update to MaplePrimes today that addresses a number of reported issues with the site, and also introduces some new features.  Much of what has changed has been in direct response to your suggestions and feedback, and I sincereley thank you for that!  

Please note that we have plans to make other substantial changes in the not-too-distant future.  I have written in the past about improvements we want to make to search (including adding an advanced search feature...

Down votes seem to disappear and "Add to my favorites" is showing instead.
