Title says it all. [math]\frac{1}{2}[/math] K math command works but latex and tex don't

I realise this is pretty meaningless but I do like the new cover photo option - it is accessed from the top right of one's profile screen and allows an uploaded photo to be used as the backdrop of your profile page. Mine is a panorama shot taken from Barf in the Lake District in the NE of England taken whilst walking there four or five years ago with my Brother and Sister-in-law This is what I mean http://www.scienceforums.net/profile/32514-imatfaal/ it is fairly inconsequential but a nice personalizing touch

Do I really need to know what swansont is doing every minute of the day? Do I really need to know when some ratbag spammer joins the forum? Do I really need a list of the last 15 replies to a very active thread? I certainly don't want to know any of this. But what was needed and readily availble now takes me several screens to find and I still can't be sure that I have checked the threads I have an interest in.

Someone mentioned about removing all the guests in the online user list. Click the Online Users tab on top and then the Sort By button on the right, select Senior Members or whatever you want to see.

I'm sorry I react on this but I don't get an answer via IGM... Why is this in speculation? I ask what is consciousness and give my opinion. I put (pure scientific) because I'm interested in the science, not things like 'universal consciousness'.

You really can't be serious that this is an upgrade for a science site. Where is the list of recent posts? Where is my list of subscribed threads? Why does the users online list umpteen 'guests'. Where are the superscript and subscript? Tex test [math]\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \int {\sqrt {{x^3} - 15{x^2} + 3x - 8} } dx[/math] Why does a popup keep poping up to say 'Do you want to receive notifications from scienceforums ?' when I have already said no 15 times? That is enough for now Edit Well edit works, that I suppose is good Mathml seems also to work (quickly) unlike some forums which is good. Ev…

Seems posts are not numbered any more. Or I could not see such. Could help for referencing as before. Also, from the previous board version, as I was caught in the transition posting : Are social networks still intruding or just not shown now ?

Looking over the past hour 7 trash threads started 1 real thread answer posted, but I have to scroll my screen to see it We had all hoped for heavier trash swatting with the new look, but it doesn't seem to have arrived yet.

Is it possible to write a short program to search old threads and replace all instances of [latex][/latex] and the dollar sign format with the old math command to repair thousands of older threads? ie search and replace latex with math only when enclosed in [???,]

Any chance via this new forum software version of allowing users to edit a post within 1-3 minutes of initial submission without the "this post has been edited" label being applied? Frequently, I need to correct a single spelling error (or, more precisely, override an unwanted autocorrect that I missed while drafting) and would be cool if I could so without that post forever suggesting I've edited it (which I usually read as being related to content or overall presentation of the point). By keeping the time window allotted to do this low, we limit risk of folks unethically adjusting posts after others have responded. Clearly this is a nice to have and not a must…

How do I insert a cool trademark like quote like many people do at the bottom of their posts?!

Does anyone know how to unlock a topic? There must be some form of appeal process? In all fairness that is. In the section quantum physics under the topic "atomic orbitals" I believe that I was arbitrarily lock out.

Im a computer science student taking an undergraduate thesis. My topic is all about chess. Can any one suggest a thesis title for me that is not too broad to study ?

I have forgotten how to post a clue to a puzzle and make it only viewable to those who click on the button.

Is there a forum or subforum for long-form discussions which ideally avoid the nutty people who can't write a proper sentence or paragraph? I ask, because if not,then it would make a great place to ask certain kinds of questions, and provide well reasoned answers rather than paragraph long quips.

Why cant i copy and paste images?

I could have sworn there was a question recently about this but I can't find it. Can anyone help?

Why is the developer of a scientific theory not allowed to discuss their own theory on this website?

I am the user saidani. I am a computer engineer. I'm a security expert. I need an explanation why the post was suppressed and why I'm banned. The censorship is terrible. Do not think that you have the right to close the mouths of others.

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Relativ/tdil.html#c4 See: Problems with variable mass. There are "problems with mass" m. Einstein said it is "not good" to use "relativistic mass".. (If it is not good, then it must be bad.) Is the cloth (of Swansont's physics) so whole? Einstein does NOT support (all) his own stuff. Is there a reason for that (lack of support)? He (=Einstein) did NOT say "difficulty (with mass)"; he said "problems" (!, i.e. plural) instead. Was he (=Einstein) hinting also at the problem we now call "dark(=unknown) matter"? (That's) Something just as difficult, with no (satisfactory) explaination. I.e. (T…

I have read somewhere that logic is not used in many places. When things make sense we claim them to be logical deductions(and we flatter ourselves for been like a Vulcan. Oh God. Please. A Spock needs to tell us we are still newbies.). My question is : Is there a difference between common sense and sense that appeals us? I think or rather expect to have put the question correctly.

I recently made the observation, in a thread about the odds of monkeys eventually typing out the works of Shakespeare, that this has in fact already happened. That human beings, according to the theory of evolution, are in fact monkeys who evolved to write the complete works of Shakespeare. My post was moved to the Speculations forum. A post from one of the moderators says: Please note that all posts that are baseless in scientific fact or that are outside of mainstream physics can and will be moved to the Speculations forum. Make sure that you think about the nature of your post before you hit the "post" button. I must say that I am puzzled. Evidently some moderato…

Why am I banned, for simply repeating the exact same insults a horde of bullies has continuously directed at me? In fact, I actually said less insults than they said to me. It's a rhetorical question. Of course I know why I was banned. I was banned because I am an outsider of the group, and humans are dominated by xenophobia and their ancient emotional associations to desire conformity. Thus I was given a bias and banned, whilst others broke more rules than me, and got no punishment. And don't even say it was because I didn't follow the scientific method. You had guys who made ridiculous unscientific claims like "animals are not sentient" and didn't ban them for …

Something happened to me so now I can post but I am not able to give a plus or minus to another's post. Does anyone know how to restore this? Thanks!

I strongly object to Swanson closing the thread I started in the Mathematics forum by the Title "The Golden Ratio". Strange and cuthber deliberately 'rail-roaded' this thread with meaningless dribble to send the thread on the course it developed. Just as I begin to pose my evidence and reasoning behind My claim that there Is a mathematical Phi and one of nature My thread is closed! Shame on You Cuthber, strange, big nose and You swanson. History shall remember you named as for what you are. Its not the first time neither that cuthber has employed 'dirty' tactics to derail one of my threads, he did the same with my Fukushima thread with 'Overtone' - was…
