Layout glitch in Insider Forum

Do not take it hard...If you look close, you will notice that only one of the comments meant to shut you up, the other actually wanted more info and later even answered you...As for the nice guy - what to say, he is a nice guy...

On the first page of messages (only), I'm having the bottom of page navigation (1 2 3 ... Next >>) shortcuts mashed together with no spacing at all. It's not happening on page 2+ or any of the other forums I've tried. Ctrl+F5 didn't help.

This's happening for me in IE11, Chrome 51, and FF31*

If relevant, my display settings are: profile popups unchecked, tight, normal, 50

Yes I know this version is grotesquely out of date. Corporate IT is elephants all the way down. (And they've never even tried explaining why if FF can't be allowed to patch itself for 'compatibility' reasons Chrome is allowed to do so.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Same here in FF47, so it's not your out-of-date browser that's the problem! Smile | :)

The footer table doesn't seem to be nested within the .forum table, but only in the Insider News.

Calculate angles between coordinates / lines[^]

Should it work or it is a feature request?

I've used math in my article (TeX), but the same didn't worked for the QA...Anyway, I saw Chris checking the issue...

Skipper: We'll fix it.

Yes I think that is the Point, article vs. Q/A. The way OG showed me worked in Q/A and even in comments for Q/A.

Have a look here in the comments of OG's answer, maybe it gives you an idea:

That's not the same - I'm trying to use TeX maths like here: Color Scheme Selector[^]

Ok I will stop, I thought we are discussing about Display Problems for Calculate angles between coordinates / lines[^]
Sorry...

Do not stop - your comments are very valuable...And yes we are talking about that exact QA answer...The article is only a sample to show you how I want the math to be displayed...
Not simple subscripts of HTML, but a nice TeX based math...

Thank you for this Blush | :O

I think this is a very known Thing here, that there is no common formatting, supporting the different sections (articles, Q/A, WYT, comments)... which I have "Problems" to understand this...

Sorry Bruno - I've slept since then! Laugh | :laugh:

Can you remember roughly when, or where?

Ahah, half time you sleep and half time you are here on CP... when/how you made the Money to afford this? Laugh | :laugh:

It was most probably while my acc was "Bruno Sprecher" and I remember that you used it in one of your answers for "^2". After I asked back how you did this you explained it and we made also some tests whether it works also for comments. I'm still searching on it Smile | :)

MathJax support was never added to Quick Answers. I've added it, and will deploy later today.

(ie. nothing you did wrong: it was our end that was the problem)
