I've been having problems with database errors when PM'ing, logging in and then immediately being disconnected, slow operations in general and several 404's. Seems really bad today.

yes we are working on it
 
I'm also having some issues. LaTeX is barfing bad: I'm entering empty TeX tags, like this:
[$tex][/$tex$] (remove dollar signs)

, and when I click "preview post", math from earlier posts of mine that had TeX is showing up.

I didn't enter any LaTeX source, but this came up anyway. What's going on here?
