In a recent thread, I edited "ln" to "log2", I have tried to restart physicsforums, but STILL, the old "ln" is showing up. This is not the first time, and it is very annoying.

It shows up fine for me. Have you tried clearing your cache, or refreshing your browser (ctl + F5)? The old image may still be stored in your cache.

I understand the frustration of encountering technical issues while trying to make changes on a forum. In order to fix this problem, I suggest clearing the cache on your web browser and refreshing the page. This will ensure that the updated version of the forum is being displayed. Additionally, you may want to check if the changes were saved properly and if there are any coding errors that could be causing the issue. If the problem persists, it may be helpful to reach out to the forum administrators for further assistance.
