AI Thread Summary
LaTeX functionality is currently malfunctioning for users when composing or editing posts and private messages, although it displays correctly in existing posts. This issue has persisted for at least six hours, with users noting that while LaTeX works in thread views, it fails in single post views. Additionally, users have reported a lack of navigation options to return to the thread from single post views, a feature that was previously available. It has been indicated that linking to single show posts is discouraged due to potential issues with future software upgrades, as this feature has been deprecated.

Right now, i.e., Sun Mar 23 01:30:21 GMT 2014, latex doesn't work for me anymore when viewing a private message, nor when composing a post.

However, it does work in display of existing posts.

E.g., the following displays as properly formatted latex after my message was posted, but while composing (or if I try to edit it), the latex function doesn't work.

$$\int x^2 \, dx$$

:confused:

I have the same problem. It started at least 6 hours ago.
 
I can fix that shortly. Thanks for the notice.

In a similar vein, LATEX doesn't seem to work when viewing a single post e.g. https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=1849982&postcount=9 (but does work when viewing the same post within its thread e.g. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=1849982#post1849982 )

Also the single post view seems to lack any way of navigating back to its thread (which I'm sure we used to able to do in the past).

Works now, but try to move away from linking to single show posts. It is something that will break when we upgrade our software. The feature has been completely deprecated without any conversion.
