    Graphics Latex
AI Thread Summary
Users experienced issues with LaTeX rendering on the forum after a server migration, leading to messages prompting page reloads. It was determined that the problem stemmed from directory permissions, which affected the display of LaTeX images. Users were advised to save their LaTeX content in a text file and later edit and save their posts to regenerate the images once the issue was resolved. After troubleshooting, LaTeX functionality was restored, but some picture attachments remained missing. The chat room was also down due to preparations for an upcoming event featuring Dr. Kaku, with further announcements expected regarding the event's details. Users were encouraged to report any ongoing issues with LaTeX or attachments.

I can't see any LaTeX today. I only see little blue messages asking me to reload the page in a moment. Is it just me ?

No, it is everyone! whatever you are going to write with Latex right now, save it in a text file.
 
The site was moved from one sever to another today. I'm not entirely sure, but it's possible the latex images were not moved over properly. Let me go check...

It seems some (most?) of them were moved properly. I'm not entirely sure what's up right now... Please bear with me.

It appears to be a directory permissions problem. When it's solved, worst case, you'll have to hit "edit" and "save" on affected posts to regenerate the images in them. I don't have a login on the server right now, but will be able to fix it shortly. Sorry about this, folks!

Thanks chroot, I thought it was a setting on my machine...we will be patient.

Finally, \LaTeX is working again.

If you made posts which used TeX, and those posts were not parsed properly, go back and edit them. You don't have to actually change anything -- just hit the edit button and then the save button, and the images will be automatically updated.

Sorry again for the inconvenience!

LaTex at last! Latex at last!

Thanks Greg and Warren!
 
Those few days without latex were a nightmare for me! I couldn't understand what was being posted in the homework and math forums.

I also realize that the picture attachments of the mentors that Greg has just made in the Member Photo Thread doesn't seem to exist. I think this problem has something to do with the LaTex problem. Even though LaTex works now, the pictures are still not there.

Hi Warren, there is no edit button for me to hit.

I just looked at a thread where I used LaTex in several posts and
it does not parse in any of the posts. It is a fairly recent thread
but not so recent that there's and edit button to use.

Have you any suggestions?

it is the thread with this post in it

Quite a lot of picture attachments are no longer valid. The chat room is down too.

The edit buttons have returned. We had a time limit on editing posts, but I have reset it to zero. Go ahead and edit those posts to have the latex images rendered.

When will this chat event be held? Will it be opened to everyone?
