mathwurkz, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

Similarly, I often cannot view Latex equations. I do not get an error message. Rather, the pix merely do not load. I use IE v. 6, with all updates.
 
Homework Statement: Not applicable. I'm asking about a technical problem with the PhysicsForums software Relevant Equations: \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} I posted the LaTeX code for an expression in the "relevant equations" and "attempt at a solution" boxes. When I'm in the "attempt at a solution" box and I click "Preview," I do not see a preview of the expression properly displayed, only the code. After I post this message...
