The Popular Post and Popular Question badges require 1000 different people to view the Post or Question. A number of Posts and Questions show that they have over 1000 views, but their creators haven't received the badge. This is because the count currently displayed includes all views of the page, including repeats from the same Member or IP address.

I just published an update that now allows you to hover over the view counter and have the number of unique viewers appear in a tooltip. This should be useful for people curious to see how close they are to earning those two badges.

Christopher2222's recent post reminded me of a new plot feature that inadvertently (and through my own fault) got left out of the new-features help pages. The 'filled' option now takes a true/false value or a list of suboptions. The suboptions apply to the polygons that make up the filled region under the curve.

plot(x^2, x=0..1, color="NavyBlue", thickness=3, filled=[color="Blue", transparency=0.7]);

I was able to find over 1000 files that were missing from the new MaplePrimes. I did some spot checking and it appears that the vast majority of files are now intact. 

I did see some posts where the files are still missing. If I come across a backup containing additional files, I will restore them as well and post about the recovery here.

Yesterday I have came across with this thread, while browsing the list of "Unanswered Questions". As it started quite recently (May 11) I did remember that I have posted some answers there. So I inspected it and found the already classical problem that all the answers were not taken into account just because they were classified as "Comment". Once more, I note that answering in Primes 1...

Currently, using Explore results in a new worksheet which contains all the sliders and output components.

And there is code, which makes it all "work", that gets hidden in that new worksheet. But It's very awkward to copy those Components back to the original worksheet, because of the disassociation with the working code.

If, instead of having dependent code be hidden in that new worksheet in collapsed Document blocks, all the working code were instead inlined...

Here is a challenge: reproduce this Mathematica notebook in Maple - without cheating, naturally.

I think I'm jealous.  But I'd love to be shown wrong and have someone do up a Maple 14 document which does everything that that notebook does, only better.

It looks like the "Popular Tags" section of the right pane is not being updated. It appears to have stayed the same for a long while, even though lots of tags not mentioned in that subset have been getting a lot of activity.

Due to Joe Riel pointing out comments missing from that thread, I looked into the MaplePrimes migration process and discovered comments that were missed during the migration process.

I am currently running a process to import additional comments and answers. This means that the recent page will be filled with older posts as comments are being imported. The process should complete in several hours, after which the page will return to its normal behavior.

I propose a huge mapleprimes suggestion.  What would happen if you re-opened the old mapleprimes site?

I propose you run both mapleprimes old and mapleprimes new at the same time for a few of months and see which site becomes more active.  Users will gravitate towards the one that is better layed out, easier to navigate, and seems to work better.  Mapleprimes can track which site becomes more active.  Currently the data of comparing...

I would like to translate Maple's products into Russian and to help russian users in Maple's education.

I have just seen this old thread in the "Recent" list, and, as I remember it well and because of curiosity, I have looked at it again. By browsing it, I have noted that as it stands right now, it makes little sense. As I keep a local Primes 1 backup, I have compared both and got a new unpleasant surprise to be added to the list brought by Primes 2: many posts (ten or more) in this thread, by Jacques, Joe, mine, etc, are missing, and the order of some remaining posts is altered. 

Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook all have buttons/badges to allow users to promote their profiles/pages on their own external websites.  Does MaplePrimes have anything similar?  MaplePrimes members would love it, and it would it be a great way to raise the visibility of MaplePrimes on the vast web landscape. For comparison, here are the pages where Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook supply their buttons/badges:

In a recent blog post, I pointed out that Maple did not have a built-in functionality for drawing graphs that arise in computing volumes by slices. However, I did provide several examples of ad-hoc visualizations that one could build with the graphing tools in Maple.

Recently, a user called attention to a weakness in the Student Calculus 1 command, VolumeOfRevolution. This command (and the tutor built on it) will draw a surface of revolution bounded by the surfaces generated by revolving the graph of one or two functions.
