What updates can we expect for the new PF website style?

[Fredrik]

By using 'quick reply'. The OP's quote is already compiled of course. If I do a quick-reply there is no problem. If I select 'go advanced' the whole thread is gone including the OP's compiled latex text.

You make it sound like you're able to get the quote to appear in the quick reply box, and then it disappears when you click "go advanced". I don't see how that's possible. Don't you mean that the quote simply never appears in a field in which you can input text, unless you actually hit the quote button?

Before the style change, what you actually had to do to get a quote to appear in the quick reply field was to click a "quick reply" button next to the post you wanted to quote, and then check the box "quote message in reply". This check box applies to the post whose "quick reply" button you clicked. Since the quick reply buttons have been removed, that box can never be checked.

I never tried your right-click idea. Will do. Where exactly do you right-click?

I scroll all the way up to the top.

Physics Forums > PF Lounge > Forum Feedback & Announcements > PF is getting a face lift!
​

I right-click on "PF is getting a face lift!" and choose "open link in new tab". (I use Firefox. The choice might have a slightly different text in other browsers).

Your description looks like you use the WYSIWYG-editor. I cannot find it in the options - vBulletin supports it, but that might be a gold member feature.
There is a simple workaround: Do not use that editor together with LaTeX. I think the MathJax implementation changed a bit, so this could have caused the difference.

I've been seeing this on my Firefox browser. There seems to be a control character there. (e.g. If I do a copy and paste into one of my word processors, the processors exits.)

PhD Comics

on the homepage, the excellent PhD comics are now in a sub-section of "Science News" whose heading is "Physics Forums - Science …" (only), and is clickably linked to the top of the same page

perhaps it could link to https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=186 ("Science Comics") and have its own banner header "Science Comics" (like "Science News")?

this only shows if you cllck the "Quote" button!

why is the thread title unavoidably added as a post title to the fourth post in every thread?

(and can we please have our post titles back? … they show up if you click the "Quote" button, but not on the actual page)

Some of the images are served from the cloud, perhaps you have (hopefully) temporary problems accessing them?

no, that's not it! everything is disabled for me. i can't use formating tips. i mean i see them as text not something that i'd be able to click on them. i can't add an atachment or a picture and the forum look really weird. i see all members in the same color and the color background is white

What browser are you using?

What browser are you using?

Mozila firefox! But I tested other browsers like chrome and IE and it didn't work.
That's the way I see pf:
