		Xenomic TALK - 02:00, May 24, 2011 (UTC)



		Did Wikia do something to the Math tag or is the server screwing up or what? I see it works fine on some pages like List of Final Fantasy IX Spells, but in some pages, like over on Libra (Ability), down in the Vagrant Story section, it's all...screwed up (and what's with the text anyways when it does that? So weird...). I also noticed this lately whenever I tried to do such tags on other pages...

		I don't see a difference. Both are rendered correctly on my end (at least using Oasis).


		Xenomic TALK - 02:28, May 24, 2011 (UTC)



		How....odd...it's rendered right on one page but not on another for me...

		Maybe pics are in order?

		o.0 Turn off your computer and make sure it powers down, drop it in a 43-foot hole in the ground, bury it completely (rocks and boulders should be fine), then burn all the clothes you may have worn at any time you were online. I seriously have no idea why it's broken for you. Do you use custom CSS?


		Xenomic TALK - 03:54, May 24, 2011 (UTC)



		Nope. I shouldn't be anyways. But it's funny, since it uses the SAME tag as on other pages so...no idea at all. Though that text is more creepier than the older one that used to be there, that's for sure...

What the fuck?

Works fine for me on both pages you linked, and I use enough custom CSS on Oasis that I'm surprised something hasn't broken.

Try clearing your cache and ask Wikia if they have any smartarses on the dev team that may have messed with the math function.

		Didn't ask Wikia bout it, but did clear my cache and well...it seemed to have worked halfway? Sometimes it shows up, while other times, if I refresh or revisit the page, it does not. A similar problem I've had is that some pages are completely blank, yet if I view them in Recent History or something, everything is there. No idea what that's all about x_x

		Your computer is haunted. I'm afraid Bluestar's suggestion is the only option. ;) The math thing works for me most of the time, but certain characters break it. Like if you put % it'll break, you have to put \% and then it'll display correctly.

		I'm starting to think so, considering how it manages to play PSX and DS games with its crappy RAM and not break at all, while streaming them at the same time. And let's not go into other....oddities with it. x_x Maybe I should hire an exorcist...hmmmm...

		I'm having the exact same problem as Xeno. I think it's got to do with the rather inadequate <math>\Latex</math> coding we use. I'll see if I can fix it. Edit 22:28, May 24, 2011 (UTC): Whoa, so we do have a problem with our <math> tags. I'll contact Wikia.


		Xenomic TALK - 22:32, May 24, 2011 (UTC)



		So...what does that mean in layman's terms? lol

		Xeno, are you getting the same trouble now with Libra (Ability) at the VS section?


		Xenomic TALK - 23:04, May 24, 2011 (UTC)



		Nope, no issue there now. Whatever you did fixed it. Might be worth looking around to see if it's like that anywhere else. It very well could have happened elsewhere too, but I don't know what all pages uses the formula x_x
