| Aug 17, 2013 at 14:57 | comment | added | Felipe Voloch | @RicardoAndrade All am I asking is to use some common sense and ask whether that particular question/answer really needs that edit. My example is a clear example that doesn't. Now, if the whole page is not rendering because of one faulty equation at the very bottom, I think this is a software bug and should be addressed as such. | |

@Felipe Voloch: While the bumping to the front page is inconvenient, please consider that these answers and questions do not render correctly. /// @George Lowther: Thank you very much for that information. Interestingly, searching for \\, returns none of your posts, thus showing that the search function is not entirely effective in locating these problems...

btw, I still have answers containing \\, instead of \, and \_ instead of _ (also ` \\\\ ` instead of ` \\ `, but I'm not sure if they are such an issue). I just edited one, and was about to edit another but held off as I don't want to bump lots of old posts up.

| Aug 13, 2013 at 17:26 | comment | added | Felipe Voloch | @MichaelAlbanese Please stop these trivial edits. You edited an answer on mathoverflow.net/questions/25374/duplicate-detection-problem which had zero upvotes (while other answers had many more, including an accepted answer), thus bumping a three-year old long-settled question to the front page. There is no reason to do that. | |
| Aug 13, 2013 at 5:17 | comment | added | Michael Albanese | It did not. I'm not sure why. | |

@Michael: Does that mean that George Lowther's answer did not appear in a search for \_ before it was corrected?

Yes. The appropriate search only shows one post using \_. In this case the user intended to get the resulting output.

| Aug 13, 2013 at 3:44 | comment | added | Ricardo Andrade | @Michael: What method do you use to find questions with a given issue and determine if there are any left? Do you simply use the search function on mathoverflow? | |
| Aug 13, 2013 at 3:32 | comment | added | Ricardo Andrade |
It appears there may still be some instances left of \_ being used instead of _. For example, George Lowther fixed such problems in his answer mathoverflow.net/a/54531/21095 one hour ago.

| Aug 8, 2013 at 15:42 | comment | added | user9072 | Another one of this type, I actually noticed I think via one of your recent edits, \\# instead of \# to get # (breaks MathJax rendering). I think these are all transition problems because before one needed the extra backslash while now this is not needed anymore and its presence causes problems. (Somewhere there was a thread on meta already on this double-backslash problem.) | |
