TeX Poll Bug: Variations in Displayed TeX - Physics Forums

[Gokul43201]

Greg, a heads up on a possibly isolated bug.

The TeX appearing in the poll options is different for different folks. And it appears we're all seeing TeX we've posted before.

The tex graphics in that poll aren't even rendering for me. I didn't know tex was allowed in poll options.

It's my fault again. First the blogs now this... I'll stop using tex so much OK? :P

The images used in the poll are preview images, so as these are overwritten or deleted it causes this issue, possibly. I had to battle a similar issue recently.

That's it!

No wonder I saw that derivative, in the very same way I had typed it in another post!

Yes, rob, that's exactly what's going on. When -Job- mentioned the preview I remembered something about this that you'd mentioned before and a little digging brought up the post you linked.
