A pecuiar thing has started happening. When I click on a section of LaTex on a post I see the code used but there is no "/" in the ending "[/tex]" so if I copy it and paste it into my response (being either too lazy or too smart to repeat the work), It doesn't show as LaTex- I have to add the "/" myself. Now, that is not too difficult but I don't remember that happening before the last few weeks.
