Oh, freaky. I can see the LaTeX in chroot's post but not in Gokul's quote of it. :smile: @ the skin on Zz's end.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
"Last Post" is behaving a bit oddly --- seems to be reflecting "current activity" by users. i.e., Russ is replying to his poll in P&WA, GD shows him as "Last Post" when looking at PF, but he ain't finished to show as "Last Post" when in GD and looking at P&WA, nor does he show in P&WA.
 
I'm also still getting ZZs error on the main page, and the site's formatting is completely broken in Opera.

edit: And in firefox

And my skin is still broken and the main page still gives an error message. Guess I just have to wait ?
:smile: Like hrw, I can see the LaTeX in Warren's post, but not in Gokul's quote. :smile:

Tried http://69.9.43.195/~physicsf/, but that didn't change anything.

[tex]\rho[/tex] now that works, but the LaTeX before the fix doesn't seem to work.

I can get back in! Phew! I was starting to see pink spiders. (I'd been getting that error message again for the past several hours!)

Works wonderfully doing that.

thanks, Greg!:smile:
I was about to get a eye strain but now everything looks fine.

Exactly the same for me, I cannot read ZZ's or my own Latex posts in any Forum.

I am using the http://69.9.43.195/~physicsf/ website and I have tried both skins.

My browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.110615.

Looks like its all working again normally now.
 
All is working normally for me now too...and even a lot faster than before. :biggrin:
 
It is all working just like before now... But before wasn't right for me. I still can't see the LaTeX code when I preview messages. I get the "latex code being generated, reload in a moment" message. It does that both on mozilla and IE.

Yep. That still hasn't been fixed. :frown:
 
PF has been acting weird since last few days. Takes ages to connect...and loading is also pretty slow. Is everything alright here?
 
I don't have loading problem and but yes sometimes it takes ages to connect.
 
I think the speed is still the same, but that's fast enough, IMHO. It's just once in a blue moon, that I have to click on the Refresh button, since the page just does not want to show up.

(Closed daily between 6 A.M. and noon.)
 
I'm on dial up so I haven't noticed any difference - at least not since I replaced the string and tin cans.
 
The "no connection" thingy appears to be consistent almost every day since the server migration - 7:30 am till around 11:30 am central.

Yep, I'm still having the same trouble with not getting a connection at about the same time every day.
 
The server must be in Italy, it just needs to close down at noon :-p
