LaTeX Mathjax Problem: Latex Error Today, No Changes

AI Thread Summary
Users experienced a sudden issue with LaTeX rendering, receiving "Math Processing Error" messages despite no changes on their machines. Initially, some users reported intermittent errors, while others consistently faced issues across different browsers, particularly Internet Explorer 9. Troubleshooting steps included clearing browser caches and restarting browsers, but these did not resolve the problems for everyone. It was suggested that the issue might be related to loading JavaScript files from the cloud. Over time, a temporary fix was implemented, and eventually, a permanent solution restored proper LaTeX rendering for users in IE9. Overall, the discussion highlighted a brief but widespread disruption in LaTeX functionality, with successful resolutions communicated among users.

Yesterday, latex was fine. Today, all posts with latex get "Math Error". No changes on my machine. Anyone else seeing this?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Works OK for me.
 
Now it works fine for me too. Same machine, browser, etc. Didn't work then, works now. All is fine for now.
 
Perhaps it had problem downloading MathJax code from the cloud.
 
My Latex has also stopped working. Wherever I once saw perfectly fine latex text, I now see "Math Processing Error" in red. I haven't installed anything new.

Earlier today I had a few of those errors, then all was fine.

Now I get that error for ALL LaTeX code.

I'm not getting any explicit error message, but LaTeX is not rendering correctly for me. It looks like what Sammy showed, above.

I'm running IE 9. I tried logging out and logging back in, and was not able to open the PF site for about an hour, possibly a different problem.

EDIT: I just tried closing IE, and then restarting it, but that didn't change things.

No success yet, after clearing my browser's cache.

Greg,
It seems to work fine on IE8, which I'm running at home. I'm having the problems on two machines at work, where I'm running IE9. I think they might be having problems loading one or more of the js files.

If the problem is still there tomorrow I'll attach a screen shot, or if the problem goes away, I'll say that. Either way I'll get back to you tomorrow.

. . . got trouble in River-city looks to me. I mean don't you hate that, install an update then bam! stuff stops workin'. At least we're not FDA-regulated. Discrepancy meetings, heads on the block, revalidations, all that stuff. Yeah, mine's not workin' neither but I try not to be a pain or nothin'.

Still not working. Here's a shot of what I'm seeing.

The pi and pi/2 parts are inside [ itex ] and [ /itex ] tags.
