Does the Preview Button Remove LaTeX?

[Heisenberg7]

On my last post, that's still waiting to be approved, I hit preview button before posting it and something weird happened. First off, it wouldn't post my thread for some reason (after pressing on the preview button and then on post thread) and when I reset the page all of the latex I had in my thread got automatically removed and replaced with symbols for each command. For example, the command for sum got replaced with a sum symbol like this ∑. This happened to me twice while editing and I had to convert everything back to latex all over again. Does this happen to everyone?

Your latest thread start has been approved, and the $\LaTeX$ looks fine now. Others can comment on the interaction between the Preview button and $\LaTeX$ .

BTW, If you have trouble using the Preview feature to check your $\LaTeX$, you can use a website such as https://www.quicklatex.com/ or https://latexeditor.lagrida.com/ to preview your $\LaTeX$ before you post it.
