If I look at the "All Recent Mathcad Content" widget, it does not show either of these documents, which were both posted yesterday:

http://communities.ptc.com/docs/DOC-1362#comment-1553

So how aew we supposed to catch new documents when they are posted? I have no idea how many I have missed!

Richard,

Its ridiculous. You have to select the 'Mathcad Usage'' sub forum. This should be shown on the 'Overview' on the general Mathcad page.

I have just selected to follow the community and start receiving e-mail notifications, hopefully this will solve the problem.

Mike,

You don't understand the problem. Visits aren't collected, visits aren't all listed, visits are shuffled within the threads." Mathcad usage" may include other conferences but they they don't. And if you aren't paid to seat chatting for 8 hours and spend so much time to torture yourself visiting all and everything and the entire threads, then it goes lost. Assume a thread was named "Go to hell" this morning, to morrow there are 10 replies, I'm out for a week and on the way back many replies have been shuffled within the thread, I'm not going to read 49 replies not serially listed ... and doing that for each and every Mathcad conferences. This community has to work like a queue, all conferences confounded like a real queue of males/females/kids... queueing to pass security before embarking. What's so complicated to make it this way.

... you see what I mean by shuffled:

my reply to you is now before my reply to Richard. Just figure threads that lasted 200 visits, not possible to keep track.

New documents or visits, we can't keep track because they aren't piled serially by time stamp. Eden had the same point with "Mark read". I had the same point many times. The question is: when is it going to work by priorities ? The serial list of all and any Mathcad stuff is immediate like Akiva is # 1 priority.

They are actually in the same order they would have been in the Collaboratory. The problem is that without the browser pane on the left it's very hard to see the structure of the threading.

You can make the posts appear serially by going to "edit preferences" under your profile and changing the "Discussion View Style" to flat. Then you lose the threading though, so IMHO it's not any better, it's just different.
