In summary, the conversation discusses the problems of editing and saving changes to posts after initial submission, including issues with going to advanced and saving changes, and incorrect displays of equations in the TeX display window. It is also mentioned that posts can only be edited within a 24-hour window and that some browsers may not automatically reload after changes are made.

I am having serious problems editing and saving changes to posts after I initially submit. Sometimes I need to go to advanced and then save changes and sometimes even that does not work. Sometimes things show up that are clearly not in the source :

If after editing TeX, the new TeX looks unchanged or messed up, refresh the page.

Posts can not be edited outside a 24-hour window following the original post time.

The only weirdness I see there is that \partial (from the last equation line) looks split up (as \par tial) in the pop-up TeX display window. I don't know why it's displaying that way. But all the LaTeX implementation looks fine to me.

You're right. It corrected itself after I reloaded. However, it took me tons of time to figure out that I needed to reload. Maybe that is a problem that it does not do it automatically when you press save.

We cannot force your browser to reload things; all we can do is provide it hints (like pragma: no-cache). Some browsers completely ignore these hints.

I see. Perhaps the Firefox Mozilla 2.0.0.6 has already resolved it.
