I have not been able to reproduce this on any other site which uses MathJax.

Works fine for me, beta Chrome, Firefox 9.0.1, or Safari 5.1.4 on OS X.

What's your Firefox version and OS? Perhaps this should be reported in the MathJax bug tracker <https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues>. It would be nice if there were an easy hack to switch the MathJax version, but I can't think of one.

In Firefox, LaTex'ed expressions frequently overflow the space allotted for them so that they overlap surrounding text. Here, for example, is a screen grab of one of my own recent answers:

Could this be upgrade-related? ]]> Asaf Karagila comments on "Math render delay" (18831) http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1324/math-render-delay/?Focus=18831#Comment_18831 http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1324/math-render-delay/?Focus=18831#Comment_18831 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:12:31 -0700 Asaf Karagila Anton, when MSE upgraded the MathJax it was noted that there is an option which allows mobile phone clients to have a 'smaller cache' and to render more often; which makes long pages render into a (partially) readable state faster.

Is it possible to make the same configuration here? I visited several heavily TeX'd pages from my iPhone and it took longer than I'd like to load the pages completely.

I'll debug later).

I'm pretty sure I handled the fonts issue, so fonts should load quickly. Please let me know if there are any problems.

Is it possible to upgrade the one on the site?

One reason to suggest this upgrade is that with MathJax 1.1 both MO and MSE would hang sometime and completely overload the CPU until Firefox (or otherwise) ask me whether to stop the script or continue.

With MathJax 2.0 on MSE I don't recall this problem anymore, while on MO it still bugs me from time to time.

(And probably updated also by Someone Else!)

I'd forgotten that we host our own copy of the MathJax library. This actually seems like a bad idea --- even considering the recent episode, I suspect the CDN is more reliable than my web hosting (latex.mathoverflow.net is run off my dreamhost account).

Very nice.

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Later addition: It seems that they have solved the problem.

(Safari 5.1.4 just out, is that related?) I open a page, a short question and two answers. Yesterday, rendering took a couple of seconds. Today (I timed it) 90 seconds. At least it is better than math.stackexchange, where math doesn't render at all...
I tried it with an old Safari (3.0.4) and it has the same delay, so perhaps it is not the fault of the new version. Also tried Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera. All have the delay.
