I am. I'd thought it was just me, so thank you for posting! :wink:galactus said:
Old posts seem to display their LaTeX just fine. Whatever the problem is, it seems only to occur in new posts, and not even then is the problem consistent. :shock:
I have no idea what that means....

I've sent the admin a "private message", but haven't yet heard back. Has anyone else sent Ted an e-mail?
Sunday, 19 August Edit: According to the private-messaging system, the admin has not yet received the notice, so I've re-sent the message as an e-mail. Being a student himself, he may be buried in other things at the moment, as hasn't realized that there's a problem.
Also, I've noticed that the LaTeX coding seems to display correctly in old posts; the problem is only in new posts, and only if you try to code too many (that is, a useful number of) characters. For instance, a simple fraction or stand-alone variable will work:
. . . . ."\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}\) displays as "\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}\)"
...but anything useful (where there's even any point in bothering with the LaTeX) won't work:
. . . . ."\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{1 - x}\) displays as "\frac{1}{1 - x}"
Thank you!

Welcome back! I hope you had a great time!Ted said:
Checking the LaTeX:
. . . . .\(\displaystyle \L \frac{\sqrt{1\, -\, x^2}}{3x}\)
...displays as:
. . . . .\L \frac{\sqrt{1\, -\, x^2}}{3x}
...as of Monday, 20 August, 1:30 pm (GMT).
