Fredrik said:There's probably 20 threads about this already, but most of them just say that the workaround is to refresh and resend after each preview. It appears that we've had this problem since April 13, 2010. According to our LaTeX guy, chroot, nothing changed on the server around that time. The problem is essentially the same in all versions of all browsers, on all operating systems. This strongly suggests that the service provider started doing some weird caching around then. Has anyone been in contact with them? Maybe Greg just needs to ask them to configure an exception.
I don't know this web stuff well enough to know if something can be done on the server. Is it possible to configure the web server software to instruct proxies to not cache images?
It seems to me that something else must be wrong, in addition to the fact that somebody is caching something. How does a transparent proxy know what image to use from the cache? Isn't the image identified by a file name or something? When I previewed these four LaTeX images, I got the two images from my previous post instead of 1 and 2, but 3 and 4 were fine.

Can someone explain how that's possible?
LaTeX is a typesetting system that is commonly used in scientific research to format and present documents such as research papers, presentations, and posters. It allows for precise control over the layout and formatting of text, equations, tables, and figures, making it a popular choice for writing and publishing scientific documents.
Some common problems with using LaTeX include difficulty in learning the syntax and commands, issues with compatibility between different versions or packages, and occasional errors or bugs in the code. Additionally, because LaTeX is primarily used for scientific and technical writing, it may not have as many features or options for more creative or artistic document designs.
One way to solve LaTeX problems is to consult online resources such as forums or tutorials for guidance and solutions. Additionally, checking for updates or bug fixes for your version of LaTeX can help resolve any issues. If all else fails, reaching out to more experienced LaTeX users or seeking professional help may also be beneficial.
LaTeX is preferred over other word processing programs for scientific documents because it offers more control over the layout and formatting of text, equations, and figures. It also has specialized features for handling complex equations and referencing, making it a more efficient and accurate tool for scientific writing.
Yes, LaTeX can be used for other types of documents besides scientific research. It can be used for any document that requires precise formatting and layout, such as resumes, newsletters, or even books. However, it may not be the best choice for documents that require a more creative or visually appealing design.
