latex in Math extension error
I am trying to use LaTex within the math extension for the first time. I have the following error

"Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex and dvipng (or dvips + gs + convert)): y=\dfrac {-b\pm \sqrt {b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}"

$$y=\dfrac {-b\pm \sqrt {b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$$

Am I doing something wrong or is there something required different in the setup? Any help appreciated as I am very new to this.

Thanks, Luke

Request for CVT by CnocBride
So, I applied to join the CVT back in 2017 but that was heavily overshadowed by the whole Amanda issue and the Code of Conduct Commission, which I am so grateful to be on. I know I have not been the most active on Miraheze in recent months and my bouts of activity have been poor, but I have always tried to keep up to date on the various changes of Miraheze. I want to continue to support the community through my work on the wiki queue, giving my opinions on Rfc, configuration changes and through the Code of Conduct Comission. I aim to do this by joining the CVT. I believe I am right for the job because I consider myself a trusted member of the Miraheze community, I have experience in using Mediawiki and I just absolutely adore Miraheze despite my time issues sometimes. I hope you can see why I fit into the job of being on the CVT team! &#32;  CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  11:31, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Questions
1. Do you think that you will be able to be active enough as a member of the CVT? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 07:11, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Answer: While my activity has sunk in recent months, I do believe I can upkeep a decent amount of time and effort into Miraheze to ensure that it runs smoothly. &#32;  CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  18:04, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

2. What do you plan on doing, if you become a member of the CVT? Do you already have experience with Abuse Filters? Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 07:11, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Answer: I have looked into Abuse Filters before and while I don't consider myself fully competent with them, I do believe I can pick them up quickly because I have a passion for this sort of thing. I want to use the CVT to expand my expertise in these areas and also help out Miraheze. As I always want to expand my knowledge on Miraheze and my helpfulness to the community, I hope to assist with regular spam fighting, blocking users from editing due to breaking rules, assist in page rollbacks and dealing with any other vandalism that may occur within the CVT. &#32;  CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  18:04, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Restoration of rights
Hi,

Spoke to Void about this earlier in regards to restoring my rights I rescinded (sysop, crat) in May 2017 when I left. As no policy governs reappointment of these rights and the fact stewards are assuming the role of bureaucrat here, I feel like its appropriate to ask for them back.
