The red line below the math is back.

I get the new, cool thing. Sure you didn't see a page from some cache?

[alexander]

yeah, i dont see it at all either (otherwise how would i have declared a fix).... give it some time your page could be cached, if not, i will have to ask you to do some things (more or less advanced web stuff), just hope that you have firefox

It was gone when you first posted the update that it'd been fixed. I liked it, and thought, "Cool!"

Then yesterday, it was back. See screenshot. I'm on a corporate lappy. Firefox install not an option. IE, and IE only. I can deal if the fix won't work with M$, but it seems rather peculiar nonetheless. Cheers.

You may need to "hard refresh" (hold down the Ctrl key, right-click, and click "Refresh") or even clear your cache in order to get the updated css file onto your machine...

It was in my cache a minute ago,

No love when trying either option. As I mentioned, it looked good when it first was implemented. Now, red lines galore.

Looks nice and tidy now! Any ideas for making it look clickable? Img border?

Dunno if it's local to my system or a change on your end, but looks good now. Our IT dept's been pushing some really ridiculous system tools and applications lately, so it was likely a temporary glitch with me.

Cheers.

No, the red lines reappear after you click a link... a:links have border-bottom commented out and are not underlined, but a:active, a:hover, and a:visited still have underlines. I guess adding a math class to math and imath anchors might be trickier than we imagine.

.vb_postbit
{
	color: #000000;
        font: 12px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	text-decoration: none;
}
.vb_postbit a:link
{
	color: #4D528C;
        font: 12px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
/*        border-bottom: 1px dotted #FF0000;*/
	text-decoration: none;
}
.vb_postbit a:visited
{
	color: #4D528C;
        font: 12px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
        border-bottom: 1px dotted #FF0000;
	text-decoration: none;
}
.vb_postbit a:hover, .vb_postbit a:active
{
	color: #4D528C;
        font: 12px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
        border-bottom: 1px dotted #4D528C;
	text-decoration: none;
}

scratch that, either i was wrong or it's fixed. as for visual cue, might i suggest a global img border for image links while keeping the underlines for text:

.vb_postbit a:link img
{
	border: 1px dotted #4D528C;

...as well as:

.vb_postbit a:link
{
	border-bottom: 1px dotted #FF0000;

that way you could keep the 'red/blue hover' effect while cleaning up ALL image links.

[Southtown]

Nevermind, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Image links look just fine elsewhere. I guess since latex is cgi, the browser doesn't treat it the same as other images? So I don't know how you would add cues to latex other than the 'strikethrough.' Change cgi to render the math as blue instead of black? Background color change on hover? Whatever.

Andrew I posted it already in this thread
In post number 8, anyway it is the not so short guide to latex (readable in 139 minutes):
lshort

What I just said there and didn't link to is the following which explains how to use the ams package (very useful, just look at it if you don't know what it is):
ams and there download the amsmath userguide called amsldoc.pdf
ope this helps.

[alexander]

South,

latex is cgi, math is no longer cgi, it actually renders in actual latex and gets dumped back into vb.... check math.... oh and on the color scheme, if you guys want i can change bg color and font color and all, tell me what you want to see, and i will change it (it cant be a one person thing either and should look good with the current theme)

post a poll, or just start one in here, i will do my best to accomodate your wishes...

[Southtown]

Cool! hehe I vote hypo-link-blue on the text. Same transparent background. Don't suppose you could script it to make two images and hover-flip 'em w/ javascript... even so there's still the finger curser.

[alexander]

the font color, i will attempt to adjust (besides its gonna look good with my dark hypo theme as well) but the 2 images laying over thing is so not happening, you dont even know how its not happening.... its not happening so much that happening is not even in its vocabulary!

There appear to be some "packages" that were included in the old library that are not in the new one.

I ran into a problem using an obscure command called "\cancel" in this post that breaks in the new version:

Old: \cancel{mc^2} [LaTeX Error: Syntax error]

New: \cancel{mc^2} [LaTeX Error: Syntax error]

It does not appear that you can use the \usepackage{packagename} command to fix this either (the old version seems to have the packages already so you don't have to do anything).

• Is there a way to do the \cancel thing in the new one that I don't know about?
  
• Are there other things we're missing because of this?

Canceled,
Buffy
