Is it when you reply to a thread? If previous posts have no Latex, then it doesn't load until you post and refresh the page.

I was trying to post a new thread, I wanted to make sure I hadn't messed up the LaTeX anywhere but every time I click on preview I face the above problem.

I try refreshing the page and if that doesn't work I post the message, refresh and then edit the Latex if needed.yucheng said:
It's a poor show, but the developers are working on it.
