 I get the same result using Opera 9.25 (On XP), I know that Opera supposedly follows the CSS standards closer than IE or Firefox, so I am surprised that it doesn't work. I'll look into it.

 Are you not able to use the Editor at all? Can you please send me an e-mail: mapl...@maplesoft.com

 That page is automatically generated by Drupal, I don't have control over its appearance.

However, you should have no need to use that page anymore due to the new WYSYWIG editor.

I was just typing a comment saying that the < won't appear in subject lines, even in the new version. But apparently I was incorrect. As you can see in the title of this comment, you can now use the < character in subjects.

 Recent Files is now available for you to enable in your user settings. I have it hidden by default as the sidebars are getting to be quite crowded.

 The WYSIWIG Editor is called FCKeditor and is unrelated to any code in Maple. So any similarities in behaviour are pure coincidence.

I just checked and a newer version of the editor was available, I have installed the new editor on the site. I am also getting some funny behaviour regarding addding/removing blank lines, hopefully this version will correct the problem.

 I just added the ability to remove the "Recent Book Posts" Block. I also moved the "Recent Comments" block up

 I do get Tooltips in my browser (Firefox), they appear in IE as well.

If you want to get a line break without starting a new paragraph, press SHIFT+Enter. Lots of text editors work in the same way:

I am
testing the
pre tag now

The <pre> tag seems to work as I expect when I go into source mode. What problem are you encountering?

The copmany decided we wanted the SCR form to not create a post with discussion. I will talk to my colleagues and we may change that behaviour.

That is what I would expect to happen.

Should I remove the Plain Text input format? It does have less use now that we have the new editor

 The SCRs don't appear as posts, if you wish to have a conversation about a suggestion, it can be posted to the Product Suggestions forum instead.

Unfortunately, there isn't an option in Drupal to allow users to re-order blocks.

However, I just updated the blocks so that you may disable the two new blocks and re-enable the old combined forum topics block.

I am quite impressed with the file that you produced, this certainly has potential to be incredibly useful. Can you please post the exact steps that you took to create the file?

Unfortunately, Drupal does not have that functionality built into it, though there may be a module than can do it. However, there is a solution for you. I just gave you the ability to edit any of your forum posts, even if there are replies.

Sorry for the delay in the answer. Your Maplesoft.com password is only used on MaplePrimes when you are logging into MaplePrimes using your e-mail address, if you use your username, you must use the password that you have set on MaplePrimes. Are you using the same e-mail address in all cases? If you used a different e-mail address on Maplesoft.com and then logged into MaplePrimes, it would be as if you created a new MaplePrimes account with none of your details retained. If you are only using a single e-mail address, there may be a problem with the site, and I'll definitely take a look at it.
