I don't know what's up with that error message, but I can confirm that CStudent's op at each site renders okay for me, right now.Okay, I'm having the same problem on MHF. Instead of equations all I am seeing is a bunch of icons from CodeCogs images saying "equation quota exceeded." Anyone know why this is happening?
Please. I'm sending a message to the MHF site owner but he doesn't respond all that fast. Any help would be appreciated.I don't know what's up with that error message, but I can confirm that CStudent's op at each site renders okay for me, right now.
Would it help, if I were to provide you a screen shot?

Here here! And it's really easy to program to boot. If they can do it on CodeCogs they can do it here.I think all of us who admin math help forums should begin banning those who don't use \(\displaystyle \LaTeX\).
I absolutely disagree with this idea. Math students need to concentrate on math, not the peculiarites of \(\displaystyle LaTeX\). It makes no sense to say to someone asking a question about algebra, "Oh, come back after you have learned \(\displaystyle LaTeX\), and then we shall try to help."I think all of us who admin math help forums should begin banning those who don't use \(\displaystyle \LaTeX\).

I will argue the exact opposite to the above. Even having multiple degrees in mathematical sciences, once I began using LaTeX I found the I was forced to pay closer attention to details. I was forced to be more careful with groupings, with fractions, with subscripts and superscripts. It certainly improve my programming habits.I absolutely disagree with this idea.

Sorry but I don't understand jest in this context. But I all for banning anyone who post a sideways/upside-down image.Just so everything is clear, I was joking about banning people for not using \(\displaystyle \LaTeX\). We need to focus on those posting sideways images of handwritten work first.
Yes, but if they can code an equation using CodeCogs then they can just post the code here. It's the same LaTeX format. Those are the ones I have a beef with.

I fully agree with that and I am not joking!!Just so everything is clear, I was joking about banning people for not using \(\displaystyle \LaTeX\). We need to focus on those posting sideways images of handwritten work first. :lol:
Beeef!! That's yack! Would you want French-fries with that too (how different is that from fried French?)Yes, but if they can code an equation using CodeCogs then they can just post the code here. It's the same LaTeX format. Those are the ones I have a beef with.

The typical person who asks questions here does not have multiple degrees in anything. I'd estimate that the majority of people asking questions have not graduated from high school, and virtually none have a bachelor's degree. This site in particular has a sub-forum on arithmetic. We might as well close down if we ban everyone who asks a question that is not in LaTeX.I will argue the exact opposite to the above.

And I think that students ought to learn to deal with peculiarities of all kinds.

For those who feel that those who do not know LaTeX should not be given help in mathematics, an alternative approach is for you individually to ignore all questions not properly formatted in LaTeX rather than precluding others from providing such help.

MarkFL,Jeff,
I was joking about banning those who do not use \(\displaystyle \LaTeX\) when posting math. But, I do think anyone who sticks around for any length of time and who is a conscientious poster should make an effort to learn it so that their posts are more readable.
I perceived the intent as yet another reminder from pka to the membership of his superior mathematical knowledge and experience.… pka appeared to be making a serious argument …
… Even having multiple degrees in mathematical sciences, …
