 It certainly would be good to be able to add more criteria for Maple Points, however, the module we are using doesn't support this amount of customization. I will add this suggestion to the list of improvements for the next major release of Primes.

 To upload a file, click on the Green Upload button in the toolbar, this will automatically insert the link into your post, avoiding your trouble with the HTML appearing in the post.

If you need to paste in HTML click on the Source button in the toolbar first, and paste it there. Otherwise the HTML will be displayed in the final post.

 I just sent you an e-mail regarding your two MaplePrimes accounts.

 You will need to change the e-mail address your MaplePrimes account is set up with.

Just click on "My Account" on the top left and click on "Edit". Change your e-mail address there and submit.

All of your MaplePrimes e-mails will then be sent to that account.

I haven't pushed any code to Primes for several weeks. How were you saving the threads before?

The reason you cannot delete files is so that if the file is included in a post elsewhere, the links won't be broken.

The file can be set to private so that no one else can see it. But all places that it was previously posted, will still work.

If you posted a file by mistake, I can remove it for you. Just send me a private message.

 The threads that you see in the list were the ones that you were subscribed to before the last update to MaplePrimes, you are automatically subscribed to new threads as you post/reply to to them. There is no scan to add you to threads in the past.

If you do not wish to be automatically subscribed to threads you post to, click on "My Account" on the top left, then "Edit". Scroll down to "Subscription settings" and uncheck "Autosubscribe". Save your settings.

That is probably due to an incompatablitly with the Userpoints (maplepoints) module, and the subscriptions module.

It shouldn't be a big deal, but I'll see if I can find out why it is appearing there.

 I forgot to enable the permission for users to use the module. You should see a "Subscribe Post" link underneath of all posts on the site.

You are also automatically subscribed to any posts that you create or reply to.

 Did your signature appear to be updated on your settings page right after you clicked save?

My theory is that your browser had the signature cached, so when you went to create a post, it was using the old signature. Only once the cache timed out, did the new signature appear.

Regarding the Maple tags, they still work for simple Maple expressions, which is what they were originally intended for. More complex expressions, such as Tables don't appear to work any more. This appears to be a side effect of switching to a new MapleNet server. I am trying to fix this, but have not yet found a solution.

 There currently is no check to ensure that files stored here are not used elsewhere. But we may add that check in the future.

Files uploaded to MaplePrimes are to be used only within MaplePrimes.

 There is a limit to the size of files that you can upload. I believe it is set to 10 MB at the moment.

 What is going on is that Chinese website does not allow people to "Hotlink" images. It is not a problem with your browser or with MaplePrimes. It is simply that site's web server preventing people from embedding images hosted on that site on other sites.

There is no reason to use an external service to host images for MaplePrimes posts, just use the File Manager (the green arrow in the editor) to upload images. Much easier than going somewhere else to post images.
