Usually when you are talking about maths based things in the maths forum or just general maths for direct x, you need to back it up with some calculations. Would be cool if some think like MS equation was built into the reply editor so

If everyone stopped using Internet Explorer, then it would be no hack at all. Since it is already a standard. But as long as IE holds back the web, there is no easy way to do this. And since we don't apply hacks to the forum either. Then no, sorry.
How would internet explorer be holding it back? Surely it would be a *simple* php script to parse it and add the correct subscript and underlining in the correct place. Unless, IE wont support special chars .

There is a proper language called MathML which integrates with XHTML (proper XML-based XHTML, not Transitional rubbish) which does exactly this, and support proper mathematical notation not just superscript and subscript. Internet Explorer holds us all back about 5 years because it does not support even XHTML, let alone MathML (both of which are W3C candiate recs).
It would probably be implemented by Jelsoft as a vBulletin feature if that wasn't the case. But that goes for a lot of other things too.
