In summary, there is a problem with the preview post option on Google Chrome when changing a formula. Even after updating the formula, the image still shows the old version. This is a known issue with LaTeX at PF and can be fixed by refreshing the browser.

Seriously awesome feature. I love it. But...

I'm using Google Chrome, and there's a problem with the preview post option whenever I change a formula.

Say I type in this formula:
[tex]
V(t) = L\frac {dV}{dt}
[/tex]
...and hit Preview Post to check if I got the syntax right and the formula displays right. Then I realize I got one of the variables wrong, and it should be:
[tex]
V(t) = L\frac {dI}{dt}
[/tex]
However, when I Preview Post again, the image still shows
[tex]
V(t) = L\frac {dV}{dt}
[/tex]
And yet, when I mouse-over the image, it shows the correct V(t) = L\frac {dI}{dt} formula.

In other words, the picture and the updated formula don't match.

Is this a bug with the Latex system itself, Chrome, or might there just be something wrong with my browser settings somewhere?

Hi Jiggy-Ninja! :wink:

You need to click "Refresh" (on your browser) …

somehow that clears your cache, and then the preview shows the LaTeX correctly. :smile:

That works, thank you.

Thought it had something to do with caching.
