Latex Garbling Issues: Is It Just Me?

[Saitama]

I have been facing this problem from quite some time. It usually gets ok after refreshing the page but now I sometimes need to refresh the page more than 2-3 times, its getting annoying.

Is someone else facing this problem or is it a problem on my end?

If it helps, I am using the latest version of Google Chrome.

Thanks!

If refreshing helps, it is because the image is cached on your computer.

There shouldn't be any image caching now that we use MathJax--it renders the LaTeX using Javascript.

Pranav, do you have problems with other sites that use MathJax? (e.g. MathOverflow?)

I don't face any problems with other sites using MathJax. There is only one website I use besides PF. :)

I have the same issue. I need to hit Refresh once or sometimes more than once to resolve it.

Chrome on Windows 8.

Didn't have a problem with the previous version of LaTex on the site - what happened then was we'd merely see the tags without the LaTex being rendered until we refreshed it. But never garbled like this.

Previous version used images generated locally and served then - unfortunately, it used way too much resources with millions of images being stored on the server. New version renders LaTeX client side - that is, what you see is drawn locally by the JavaScript (www.mathjax.org).
