LaTeX Troubleshooting LaTex Issue in Forum Post

AI Thread Summary
A user is experiencing issues with LaTeX equations in a forum post, where the preview displays an old equation instead of the new one being created. This problem has persisted for some time, leading to frustration as users suggest ignoring the preview and editing after submission. There is a concern about the lack of progress on fixing the LaTeX preview issue, with acknowledgment that only one member, chroot, is responsible for maintaining LaTeX functionality in the forum. The discussion highlights the importance of the preview feature for users who invest significant time in crafting their posts.

I hope you can help me with this problem. A few days ago, I began a post with a LaTex equation in it, but never completed the post (I got the answer I needed). I'm trying a new post today, and no matter how or what I enter as LaTex, when I preview the post I see the equation I tried to use a few days ago, even though I"m making a completely new post (although it IS to the same forum). Can you help? Thanks.

There have been problems for quite some time with the latex preview. I would just ignore the preview, make your post, and then edit the latex if it needs correcting.

Not to nag, but are peoples working on this? Or is it a lost cause? I know that we can 'submit' then edit, but sometimes (like last night) I will spend a good hour or two just writing a new topic. Over the course of 2.5 hrs last night, I had 37 views before I was even done posing the question. So the preview would have really helped.

Just a thought. :smile:

No, not to my knowledge.
FYI, "people" in this case is just one person. If not for member chroot's efforts we would not have LaTeX at all.
