AI Thread Summary
To properly quote in forum discussions, use the "quote" button for specific replies instead of the "new reply" option, which removes previous quote symbols. Users can also manually insert nested quotes using specific tags to maintain clarity. The forum aims to reduce excessive nesting of quotes to enhance readability. For quoting multiple posts, utilize the speech bubble "M" next to the quote button. Following these guidelines will help maintain organized and clear discussions.

Click the "quote" buttons instead of "new reply" if you want to reply to a specific post. You can quote multiple posts with the speech bubble "M" next to the quote button.

Alternatively, the advanced version: Type quote tags manually.

Homework Statement: Not applicable. I'm asking about a technical problem with the PhysicsForums software Relevant Equations: \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \left(-2+2 \,\mathrm{I}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} I posted the LaTeX code for an expression in the "relevant equations" and "attempt at a solution" boxes. When I'm in the "attempt at a solution" box and I click "Preview," I do not see a preview of the expression properly displayed, only the code. After I post this message...
