Hello everyone,

I have read and re-read everything on this issue I could find but nothing seems to help. The website in question is www.mathhelpboards.com and we are using Mathjax from the CDN server. This is all the header code related to Mathjax on our site.

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
  MathJax.Hub.Config({
    tex2jax: {
      inlineMath: [​['$','$'], ["\\\\(","\\\\)"]​],
      processEscapes: true
    }
  });
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML"></script>

We recently switched over to Mathjax 2.0 and I think our configuration settings are not correct. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

I looked at it this morning, and it looks like a timing issue not a configuration issue, but I haven't been able to track it down. If you can move the configuration script and the script that loads MathJax into the document <head> rather than the body, that might help. If not, then can you move it to the bottom of the body? I will look into it further as soon as I can, but these might take care of it in the meantime.

Thank you so much! I can't believe how simple this was. I know that both scripts should be in the header but the forum software I use has a template system which is misleading to say the least. I moved those lines almost to the very top. Thank you again!!

I'm glad it is working for you now. I'll still want to track down the timing issue, but at least your site is working in the meantime.
