There is another support location, namely ask-sage. Here, I see a technical problem. Some replies are, technically, just comments. But comments are not visible on the main ask-sage page - only "proper" replies are visible. Example: http://ask.sagemath.org/question/689/extra-curly-braces-in-latex-command There is a question by user joon, asked 18 hours ago, and the first comment came 17 hours ago. But on the ask-sage welcome page, it appears to have no answer. Or http://ask.sagemath.org/question/568/any-possibility-to-importuse-orange-in-sage, where the original poster has been asked to post that request on sage- devel. A search on sage-devel showed that he didn't. Perhaps that came from the fact that there were only comments, no replies to his question? Or from the fact that it is annoying to not get a proper reply and being asked to repeat the question somewhere else, where *perhaps* there will be an answer? Hence, if a user posts a question and wants to see whether there has been an answer, yet, s/he would see -- nothing. S/he would not see that there was a comment posted just one hour after the original post, asking for further information, and so the thread would simply die. And the user would quit. What a shame. But I guess that should be on a different thread...
