The conversation emphasizes the importance of knowing the specific forum software version for optimal setup.

Can you guys tell me how to install LaTeX in a forum? Thanks for advance.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
This site has information on how to set up MathJax.
 
What forum software are you using? The reason I ask, is if you are using vBulletin 3.8.x or 4.x, I have a product that will make adding MathJax (the system we use here at MHB) a breeze. :)
 
The one used by MMF. The one which uses "math" or $ tags instead of "tex".

MMF uses vBulletin 3.8.x...or they did the last time I was there (which was some time ago). Please PM the URL of your site to me, so I can take a look and see which version you are using. :)
 
Code cogs also has an option to embed latex in your own website. I agree that it also uses MathJax, but embedding through Code Cogs will comparatively be very easy.
