Answer 47

Maybe some of the dinosaurs are hiding down there.
I didn't do anything to help. I was just curious what was going on.
Like I said, I recall having this same issue. I don't know what causes it, but I bet I could look it up and see this question had also been asked in the past.
One sec while I google.

Answer 71

u didn't

Answer 72

Oh? :o
Well I'll show you... In the LaTeX section!! :p

Answer 73

i think

Answer 74

ok

Answer 75

The MathJax system does the \(\LaTeX\) rendering. If you do not see all the special math and colors, MathJax is not working. This can be due to script blockers and related issues.

Does it work on the MathJax site for you?
http://www.mathjax.org/

Answer 76

It works now, but it wasn't working earlier.

Answer 77

I feel I have encountered this similar issue as well, but some time ago by now! I'll try to see what help I can provide here, though. :)

In the case of @rockstar0765 's attached image: I searched up that particular thread first to find the problem post.
Link: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/53b5a06be4b072c759d8d2a8
That post has no LaTeX formatting to render! It was posted in plain text only, really. Two things come to mind concerning why you screened this post:
- You screened the wrong post (there were LaTeX formatted posts similar to it).
- Your problem was identical to this post. If this is the case, then there is something different from the other problem noted in this thread!
If you have any additional comments, please feel free to add them!

In the case of @Gabebro13 's attached image: This appears to be the same thread, so refer to the above link if you closed it yet and need to review it!
Unlike the first image, I see LaTeX formatting in the original post, and the problem is visible to me. The first thing I notice is the "Processing math: 0%" in the lower-left-hand corner. Have you noticed this previously? And if so, have you waited for the MathJax to process entirely or has it sat at 0% for a prolonged period of time? It can be slow on more LaTeX-heavy pages.

If nothing else, I'll try to do more searching on it later as I'm currently not finding much (sleepy times atm). Hopefully your LaTeX remains in good health though for the time! :P
