Show printable version option

In summary, the reason why the "printable version" of a thread only shows LaTex codes instead of equation images is due to a switch to MathJax. Previously, LaTeX was rendered on the server as images, but now it is sent as code and rendered by Java script on the client side. This issue has now been resolved.

Why is it that the "printable version" of a thread shows LaTex codes but not the equations images? I am certain It was fine few years ago! So, what happens?

Sounds like a side effect of the switch to MathJax. Before LaTeX was rendered on the server and displayed as images, now it it is sent as LaTeX and rendered by Java script client side.

This is Greg's domain.
