LaTeX Latex FAQ not stickied any more?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the status of the LaTeX FAQ on the Physics Forums, which has been unstickied and is now accessible through the INFO link in the menu bar. Users express concern about the lack of timestamps on certain statements in the FAQ, particularly regarding LaTeX compatibility with older versions of the Opera browser. It is suggested that the FAQ should be updated to reflect the most recent compatible version of Opera, as the previous statement about LaTeX not working under older versions may no longer be relevant. The conversation highlights the need for accurate and current information in the FAQ to avoid confusion among users.

I believe it was unstickied when all howtos were combined into one thread in the feedback forum. As of today they are not there, but they can be reached through the INFO link on the menu bar.
 
Ah, got it. Thanks Borek! :-)

That post has no timestamp that I can see. This can be problematic for statements in the post like "As of today, LaTeX doesn't work under old Opera."

Perhaps the word "today" could be replaced with an approximate date, if anybody has some idea when that was written.

[EDIT] Or maybe better, have it mention the most recent compatible version of Opera?

[EDIT #2] Oops, should have said oldest compatible version of Opera.

That statement probably is not needed any longer. MathJax works with Opera 9.5 and above. Only 8 visitors browsed PF in the last 30 days using a version less than 9.5
 
Yes, that part about Opera was true only around the switch to xenforo. I actually tried to edit it out, but couldn't find a way while in hurry and forgot about it later :(
