I can't speak for others, but I am still having problems with Latex rendering. Whenever I preview a post, the tex that renders is always from the last thing that I had posted previously. I have to refresh the page for it to render the current tex. This is true for both IE and Firefox. While the workaround does work, it is a real nuisance. This has been happening for about a week now. Please tell me someone is working on this..:cry:

Send a PM to Chroot, he is our LaTeX god :)

I did that (at least I think I did) but no response from him. Perhaps you could rattle his cage in case I fouled up the PM somehow. The problem persists.
