WAAAAAAH How do I fix latex?

When I want to write out tex code in-line with my normal writing, it does stuff like this

blah blah blah [tex]{3\epsilon^3}\over{\pi}[/tex] more blah blah blah

whereas before it use to be continuous, now it creates a separate row for the tex code. Why come? FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT. :) *hugs*

I will fetch Greg for you.
 
Greg is going to slap me with a fish and tell me I should have been paying attention to the rumblings about changing to some uncool new latex code. BOOOOOO.
 
I will fetch SammyS for you, he knows what to do!
 
This is in a new line: [tex]a = x^2[/tex].

This should be inline [itex]a = x^2[/itex].

This should be inline [itex]a = x^2[/itex] - or at least I think that was the idea behind.

ohh, so the tex changes to itex?
 
Yes, but I just found another bug - noparse tags are ignored by MathJax.

It's not a bug. Just that MathJax and Vbulletin aren't in communication.

It doesn't work as expected. Here, in Poland, we call it a bug :-p

Maybe your expectations were wrong. :-p

That's how it worked up to now, that makes my expectations realistic, doesn't it?

Which - as I just realized - means there is a chance some of my earlier posts in which I explained to people how to use LaTeX can be now wrong

Edit, Greg: problems with MathJax servers and Opera are back. Or perhaps they never really disappeared.

Ah yes, some others call it "features".

I broke latex only once, and spent the next 2 months dreading the possibility of a paternity suit. Luckily, the target avoided the approach of my soldiers.

We must retain the bug for backwards compatibility?

But that's what have been broken!
