I can't see which of your threads you're talking about. Can you please report the post, so we can see which one you mean?
 
Like for example the thread "using ampere's law with current density"...everytime I posted it...it gave an error because of this latex error...so it ended up being posted three times
 
You don't seem to have used any latex in that thread, but it sounds like a misuse of tags perhaps and that's why some work but others do not then when you delete some the others stop working. If you post what you're trying to do perhaps someone could spot the problem.
 
There are three threads with tht title...it wasn't working at the beginning...everytimne I post it it wud show me an error...so I deleted all the latex and wrote all over again.But if u look at the earlier thread(there are three)...tht had latex.Anyways how can I post wht I am doing?
 
If you post in this thread what you were trying to do in the other thread perhaps people can see where you're going wrong. You can use Code tags to show the latex code you're using. Its hard to tell what's going on otherwise.
