Any way to collapse these huge headers?

N 5 hours ago by Craftybutterfly
As you can see, literally 60% of screen space is consumed by headers (even with the banner announcement closed). Is there any way to actually use more screen space for the content?

Introducing myself at AoPS, and what's your magic wand?
asuth_asuth   1064
N Today at 3:14 AM by Craftybutterfly
Hi!

I'm Andrew Sutherland. I'm the new Chief Product Officer at AoPS. As you may have read, Richard is retiring and Ben Kornell and I are working together to lead the company now. I'm leading all the software and digital stuff at AoPS. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself! I'm really excited to be part of the special community that is AoPS.

Previously, I founded Quizlet as a 15-year-old high school student. I did Course 6 at MIT and then left to lead Quizlet full-time for a total of 14 years. I took a few years off and now I'm doing AoPS! I wrote more about all that on my blog: https://asuth.com/im-joining-aops

I have a question for all of you. If you could wave a magic wand, and change anything about AoPS, what would it be? All suggestions welcome! Thank you.

k Preview before submitting challenge problems is gone
C-123Math   4
N Aug 19, 2023 by C-123Math
Hello,
I have just started the AoPS Calculus course, and when submitting an answer for challenge problems, I am unable to see a preview of my answer, so there is no way to check if my latex is correct. In past classes I have been able to do this. Is this a new feature or something specific to the class, or is there something else I have to do to see the preview?
Thanks

I think there are certain types of symbols that won't render latex. Could you show a screenshot for a better look?

Hello, as seen here, this is intentionally off for calculus. For non-calculus AoPS Courses, the LaTeX should render fine, but for the calculus course specifically, it does not work, as some calculus symbols are not able to be parsed in the box.
