I just checked the private messages in internet explorer and I see the same problem wwhere the entry box is shifted to the right. It works fine in Firefox. I'll fix that problem ASAP. As for the Preview button, that feature has been requested before. I have asked the developer of the Private Messages Drupal Module to add that, but I have not heard back from him.
I'm glad you like it! There are a number of Drupal customizations that have been made to create this site. This post is a good summary of the unique features that make up MaplePrimes. I think the coolest, and simplest demonstration is the <maple> tag, by just typing in <maple^gt;sqrt(x)/y</maple>, I get this image: sqrt(x)/y automatically generated. Also, the File Manager has a number of features that make using files on the site quite easy including the automatic conversion of Maple Worksheets into HTML ready for posting on the site.

Did you want to have the line, "N = (M x 7) + K" be on the left? The problem in your worksheet is that you have a number of tabs to the left of that line, just delete the tabs and the line will left justify.

Can you please try logging in using the form on the top left of the page. The link in the header of the contribution goes to the same place and the link on the top right of the page. I will look into fixing teh width of the reply box, but I don't have an easy fix for it.

I see your login problem comes from the fact that you are clicking on the Login link on the top right of the page. Try using the form that is on the left hand side. That form will take you back to the same page that you filled it out on. As for the sidebards, I see in the screenshot that the problem arises when users post lines that have no spaces in them, thus not line breaking properly. I'll look into fixing that. When I use the reply box, it already is using the entire width of my screen. Can you please post a screenshot showing how the box looks for you? What version of Mozilla are you using? I am using the latest Firefox and have also tested on IE 6 and 7 and the resizing works fine.

It looks like you asked the same question here already. Is this a different question? Or did I not answer it fully the first time? ____ William Spaetzel Marketing Engineer, Maplesoft
Hello, What operating system are you using? What version of Maple 10 are you using? 10.04? ____ William Spaetzel Marketing Engineer, Maplesoft
I don't expect to include a feature to print to PS or PDF, there are a number of free applicaitions that you can download that you can install on your computer allowing you to print directly to PDF from any application. My current fav is Cute PDF which works quite well. When you log in you should be taken directly to the same page that you logged in from. Can you give me an example of when this does not work? Please include the URL of the page that you are logging in from. There is no way to switch off the sidebars, they are essential to the functioning of the site. What resolution is your monitor set to? I find that in 1024x768 the sidebars are not in my way. You can resize the box for entering text yourself. Try clicking and dragging the grey bar just below the reply box. ____ William Spaetzel Marketing Engineer, Maplesoft
The ability to print an entire thread including the message and replies has been requested before. I will look into adding this feature, I definitely see how it could be very useful for this site. ____ William Spaetzel Marketing Engineer, Maplesoft

Is there a specific question that you need answered? If you want to know how to create a procedure, I suggest you look at the ?proc help page. ____ William Spaetzel Marketing Engineer, Maplesoft
If you look up ?arctan you can see that it also takes two parameters: arctan(y,x)=-I*ln((x+I*y)/(x^2+y^2)^(1/2)) I wrote the attached worksheet in Maple 10.05 as well so it should work ok for you. Can you please post a worksheet showing your problem is Solve is not working ____ William Spaetzel Marketing Engineer, Maplesoft
