Hi,

Recently, as I used the math fuction to edit my page,
I always have received an importance notice from the public mimeTeX web service as the following.
--- Importance Notice ---
for public mimeTeX web service users
----------------------------------------------
The public service's url changes after Nov 30,
and your current <img> tags will no longer work.
See http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html for new url instructions.

I visited the wibsite and found it asks us to modify scripts in the LaTeX plugin.

Can Wikkii help me check what really happened?
I'm really afraid my math function won't work after Nov 30.
Many Thanks!

Can you link to the exact extension you are using? There seems to be miscellaneous ways of getting math functions to a mediawiki site.

Thank you for the notice, I have made the required changes according to the instructions for the public mimeTeX service.

Any other questions or problems, just let us know.

On the farmer wikis we are using the method below:

Just as Wikkii said, I use the default extension in the farmer wikis to invoke a math expression. (command like "<math></math>")

Thank you Wikkii, it's OK now. But I have a question on mind. After your change, I still can see the same warning message on my page, even if I cleaned all the cached files and cookies in my browser. However, if I move my page to new title or copy all the contents to a new page, then math expressions will be showed as good as before.
That's a little bit strange, isn't it?
Anyway, now everything is in good situation and thanks again!
