Did the Khan Academy web site get updated today? Weird fonts

Hi JaniceHolz,

Thanks for reporting this!

There are currently some issues with fonts and styling on several parts of the site. The team is aware of this issue and is currently working on it.

It looks like the issue has been fixed.

I would guess some change was implemented and caused an unforeseen problem.  It would be nice if there had been a notice I could have read once KA knew about the problem, so I didn't waste time troubleshooting on my end (such as closing everything on my computer and restarting).

Usually updates about major outages will be posted on the status page and will also appear as a banner at the top of the site. I'm not sure why there wasn't an update posted about this issue. I know the issue was fixed pretty quickly after they were made aware of the issue, so that may be why no notice was posted.

Is there a link on the KA website to the status page?

Not usually, but if there was an active incident then a brief message and a link to the status page would appear in a bright blue banner at the top of the site.

The `code` formatting in discussion posts works correctly, but the "Show formatting options" shows it wrong, and has done so for a while -- perhaps since the fonts glitch 2+ months ago.

This seems like it would be especially confusing to people who had not already been using the `code` formatting.

Where is the proper place for me to report this?  

Thanks JaniceHolz! Normally you can submit those reports here: https://support.khanacademy.org/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=260948

I forwarded this directly to the team though, so no need to create a ticket this time!

Thank you both for the information and for forwarding the request.

I thought I was checking Recent Activity obsessively (notifications get lost in my emails), but I somehow missed both of your responses from June 26 :-(

It's been over 4 months, and the code formatting still shows wrong in the Show formatting options.  I'm guessing this will never get fixed?
