Hi, I'm sure this has been asked many times before, and I tried to find a sticky for this, but can some1 please tell me the easiest way to get latex code to display properly when I'm browsing the math & physics forums? The code usually displays for me as unreadable white marks against a black gackground. I usually click on the code and then try and piece together what it's saying from the written LaTex code.

Thx in advance.

You are probably using a very old browser such as Internet Explorer v6. You need to upgrade to a more recent version.
