Is there any way to get superscript and subscript text on 68kMLA? I notice that the and tags don't appear to work here. Kind of sucks if you want to include footnotes in your posts.

This doesn't actually answer your question, but I assume if anyone truly feels the need to use footnotes in their posts, they're probably better posting on an online support group for anal retentiveness (wikipedia, for example).

Based on: The BBCode Guide for this site, there are no bbcode tags for subscript and superscript.

There's not a simple way to add them in phpBB2... however, I will consider adding them when we make the upgrade to phpBB3 (soon, I promise).

That guide isn't terribly accurate. The img tags don't work here, for example. Which isn't, in my opinion, such a bad thing.

Tom disabled them so that when people wanted to browse here on old machines they aren't totally destroyed.

but how do we get fraction symbols???

Computers are fairly awful for getting anything other than the europeon 26 letter alphabet at times huh?
