AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around issues with LaTeX rendering in blog posts on Physics Forums, specifically in Firefox and Chrome. Users report encountering numerous LaTeX errors when trying to view certain posts. One participant seeks confirmation about the broken LaTeX before reaching out via private message, questioning the appropriateness of such a PM. Another user shares fixed versions of the LaTeX equations, indicating that they work fine for them. However, they also note that the original equations appear broken in both Firefox and Chrome, suggesting a broader compatibility issue with LaTeX rendering across different browsers. The conversation highlights the challenges of displaying mathematical content online and the frustrations users face with browser compatibility.

I've been intrigued for some time by the following posts, but they all have lots of Latex errors (at least for me, Firefox/Linux).

Can anyone confirm they are broken before I make an idiot of myself in a PM, and in any case is it appropriate to PM for this sort of thing?

I see a lot of broken Latex with FireFox

<br /> \begin{flalign} <br /> dt\,+\,\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}\,dr&amp;=&amp;d\bar{t}&amp;=&amp; &amp;d\breve{t}-\,\frac{1}{1+\beta}\,dr\\[6mm] <br /> d\phi\,+\,\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}\,\frac{a}{(r^2+a^2)}\,dr&amp;=&amp;d\bar{\phi}&amp;=&amp; &amp;d\breve{\phi}\,-\,\frac{1}{1+\beta}\,\frac{a}{(r^2+a^2)}\,dr <br /> \end{flalign}<br />
This is it fixed.
<br /> \begin{align} <br /> dt\,+\,\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}\,dr&amp;=d\bar{t}= d\breve{t}-\,\frac{1}{1+\beta}\,dr\\ <br /> d\phi\,+\,\frac{\beta}{1-\beta^2}\,\frac{a}{(r^2+a^2)}\,dr &amp;= d\bar{\phi}= d\breve{\phi}\,-\,\frac{1}{1+\beta}\,\frac{a}{(r^2+a^2)}\,dr <br /> \end{align}<br />

Heh, I am already using those equations, they seem to work just fine ;) I just wanted to see how he puts it all together, it sounded interesting, and not too far above my level. BTW it looks just as broken in Chrome.
