Re: Is your approximately showing?
Then this is a legitimate bug.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Is your approximately showing?
I have also been noticing the missing character issues lately -- especially the 'fancier' (i.e. curled) apostrophes that have suddenly disappeared from everyone's posts. The sup and sub tags no longer work (which makes some older posts very tedious to read!). Some characters no longer work in LaTeX, and any (unrendered) sentence written on the same line as LaTeX text ends up changing its font style. Not to mention that in the hide tags, a lot more characters don't work -- even ones like simple exponents fail to show.

Hi zetafunc;
Do you have a specific example?

Re: Is your approximately showing?
This thread is a bit of a mess: http://mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=14826
[sup]The sup[/sup] [sub]and sub[/sub] tags don't work.
The fancy apostrophes are missing from older posts, and the text 'near' LaTeX code is affected. See here: http://mathisfunforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=14950
Apostrophes no longer work in LaTeX, and presumably true for other characters:

Re: Is your approximately showing?
The apostrophes disappeared in latex before the upgrade. it was not possible to indicate f'(x) in latex.
