AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing issues with LaTeX previews in posts, receiving a message stating "LaTex graphic is being generated" without resolution upon reloading. This problem appears to be widespread, with many hoping that an upcoming vB upgrade will address it. Concerns have been raised about the current testing tool for LaTeX, which is deemed inadequate as it struggles with basic functions like fractions. There is a call for the reimplementation of a LaTeX preview feature, as users feel unable to post effectively without it. Additionally, the possibility of managing disk space by deleting temporary preview images upon submission has been suggested.

When I preview my posts, none of the math shows up. Instead I get a message that says "LaTex graphic is being generated. Reload this page in a moment." But reloading doesn't help at all. Is everyone having this problem or just me? Is there something I can do about it?

This is a problem for everyone. Hopefully, the vB upgrade tomorrow will fix it.

No latex preview with upgrade. I'm almost against warren implementing it. We already have gigs of latex images on the server. Use this for testing

Thanks for the fast answers. That testing tool isn't very useful at all. It doesn't understand fractions for example. Maybe I'm just using it wrong. I'm not sure. Anyway, I really hope you will (re)implement a LaTeX preview feature. I probably won't be able to post until you do. Don't forget that disk space is really cheap these days. :smile:
 
Are the preview images "temporary files", which could be deleted when the post is submitted?
