Users are experiencing issues with the preview function for LaTeX equations on the forum, where the compiled output does not display unless the browser tab is reloaded. This problem appears to be intermittent and may be related to network or browser issues rather than a specific fault of the forum itself. Some users have noted that other platforms, like Mathematics Stack Exchange, provide immediate visual feedback for LaTeX, making the experience smoother. The issue is recognized as a bug, where the preview does not load MathJax unless previously invoked in the thread. Suggestions have been made for the forum administrators to address this bug, as it significantly impacts user experience, especially for those creating threads with multiple equations. Additionally, some users recommend enhancing guidance in the forum's guidelines to assist newcomers with LaTeX usage.
