Question

This requires a quick update. Please !!

Answer 1

Every time when someone types in a symbol like infinity or +- symbol, or anything else, the reply gives many stupid question marks. And I am not the only one saying this.

PLEASE FIX THIS AS SOON AS YOU CAN....

@myininaya @Preetha ...... people please...... this is very destructive !

Answer 2

Destructive seems like hypochondriac wording under the conditions. Perhaps "frustration," would be more concise. The error seems to validate itself once you refresh the page.

It has come to our knowledge that this may be a bug in the system. Shouting at Moderators (who can't do anything about it), and poking Administrators will not solve the problem any faster. Please, be patient while they look into issues.

Barking orders never really works in the real world.

Answer 3

\[\pm \infty\]

Answer 4

That was just a test to see if I see.

I can understand how that would be irritating though.

Answer 5

I can see it, too, Myininaya, but some people are getting questions marks. Gofigure.

Answer 6

I see the same thing with Japanese characters a lot of the time. Things that used to work fine, don't.

I wonder if they removed a font from use.

Lets see if that stays working or not.

Answer 8

try typing it not in latex, but just put your finger on ALT, hold it, and click 2 3 6 on the number pad on the left corner of the keyboard (you probably know this already). Then release the ALT.
∞

Answer 9

I see some questions marks (they are the numbers that I have put on the keypad on the EXCUSE me RIGHT, not left, corner of the keyboard.

Answer 10

It seems to only be happening with certain users. I've never had an issue with this. Maybe Ambassadors are immune (tsk tsk).

Answer 11

Well, what I see.

Answer 12

It used to even worse, but now, when I referesh the page, or leave to go to some other question (or just leave) and come back, the symbol then works just as it should.

Answer 13

trying to type to get it work ....

Answer 14

yeah... those, e.mccormick

Answer 15

Huh, my (A) is gone. Your layout looks weird (text, dimensions) compared to mine. Maybe it's your Browser? I'm using Chrome.

Answer 16

I rarely see the A.

Answer 17

I am using chrome, windows 8, and using the same router as many of my other family members. (Not like it make any difference anyways)

Answer 18

and if you are referring to your ambassador-A, then I can see it :)

Answer 19

There must be a discrepancy somewhere in the UTF-8

Answer 20

??

Answer 21

if your A disappears, then it is one of the many bugs of OpenStudy.

Answer 22

UTF-8 is a universal attachment to most websites. It allows for special characters to be displayed. Since this is the primary issue people are having, there is probably a bug and only a few people are experiencing it.

Answer 23

I know what UTF is... I am not THAT unfamiliar with computer science.

Answer 24

Same. I'm not very familiar with the odd choice in languages this website uses. It's like deciphering ancient Hebrew Poetry.

Answer 25

I overroade my encoding from unicode to western, it failed to lod. When I refreshed, it went back to unicode, and I see the Japanese at the moment. あくま悪魔. I also see it in preview, but if this is like the last time I tried something like this, it will go to question things when I post.

Answer 26

yep. It did.

Answer 27

Why does this happen? I don't think it depends off the browsers. Does it? :O

Answer 28

Now it's not going to lod for me. I see ????. Eric, is that what you posted, or is it the earlier Kanji?

Answer 29

It is odd because it has happened to people with 3 different browsers.

Answer 30

On a reload it renders. On a post, it does not.

Answer 31

Well, I'm using Chrome. Is anyone else using it? I'm having the same problem with it.

Answer 32

What we need is a Final Solution to all of this.

Answer 33

In fact, just like most of the issue, this one also has nothing to do with the browser (apparently) .

Answer 34

(I was absent playing chess)

Answer 35

=(

Answer 36

Ikr..... E.Mc!!

Answer 37

We need our secret decoder ring back!

Answer 38

I can enchant a ring if you can smith one for me.
Sincerely,
Dragonborn

Answer 39

Smithing level is only 56. You need one of 70 if you're going to smith an enchanted object.

Answer 40

I am a bladesmith, not a goldsmith or whitesmith.
