TeX problems since server move

AI Thread Summary
Many users are experiencing issues with invalid TeX formulae after a recent server move, despite entering valid code. The problem manifests as incorrect formatting, such as seeing [ tex ] instead of the expected [ tex ]... [ /tex ]. Users on Mac are particularly noting these issues, which appear to be linked to the server transition. While some formatting errors persist in preview mode, final posts often display correctly. The forum administrators, Greg and chroot, are aware of the situation and are actively working on resolving it.

Many posts are showing invalid TeX formulae, even though they are valid. For example,

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=265656

When I click on the invalid TeX block, it shows [ tex ]...[ tex ] (or [ itex ]...[ itex ]), while I definitely typed [ tex ]...[ /tex ] (or [ itex ]...[ /itex ]). (Extra spaces added so we don't go into TeX mode.)

I'm using a Mac, if that makes any difference.

The latex problem is a known one since the move. Greg and chroot are working on it.
 
Good, thanks!
 
Maybe this is related... When I try to denote A with subscript 'n', I type the LaTeX code:

A_{n}

However, I get 'n' as a superscript. Is there something wrong with my code or is it related to the server issue that Greg and Chroot are aware of?
 
Nevermind... The preview mode shows the superscript, but when I make the post final the subscript is working fine.
