Not sure if I'm the only person getting this, but I tried to make a post which contained LaTeX codes and I could not preview the result. Where the LaTeX output should have been there was linkable blue text that said

"LaTeX graphic is being generated. Reload this page in a moment."

If I opt to reload the page the same thing happens.

Prior to the recent changes, I never had a problem previewing a post which included LaTeX codes. Although I think my recent attempt was the first time that I tried to start a new thread so perhaps it had something to do with that. Should I be doing something different?

It won't generate a preview of this, but I'm sure it will post. Probably some kind of problem at my end. Hmmm.
 
Previews are still a problem. Chroot is working on fixing it. It will post okay, just won't show up in preview.
 
Ohh, I must have misunderstood you, sorry.

Yep you are right.
