| How about a little more flexibility in the characters we can use in posts: at least the full extended ASCII set, if not Unicode? |

| Umm I would think that would be dictated by vbulletin.
What character are you trying to put up that you can't?
I haven't seen any ascii chars that didn't show up. |

| Well, I can't use pi or the square root sign, or the infinity sign, all of which I've tried.
(Qu'est ce que "vbulletin" veut dire?)
Oops -- just noticed " vB Code" -- I suppose that's it -- lemme try "Enhanced Mode".

| Well, I've never used this and promise I don't understand this.. I do know I didn't get it right.. but I bet you'll see what I did wrong. I got my info here
I tired it both ways as code and just plain typing..
(of course the symbol I tried to make didn't work, but my little brain didn't understand the table at first glance either) Quãest ce que Cãest??
ã
&_#_227_; is what I typed w/o the underscore...
OK how do you make the darn a go away and just have the tild sign??? |

| The characters I typed for "pi", "infinity", and "root" were respectively (with NumLock on) <alt>227, <alt>236, <alt>251. I got "paragraph symbol", "blank" and "underscore".
What did you do? That link gave me bupkis. |

| Yup, it did.
I typed:
&pi; &infin; &radic;
I use the W3C table as a reference. |

| I used the stuff from the html column. It seems to me the vbs code is very similar to html (in some instances)

| Okay, strangerstill, I'm willing to parade my ignorance:
I'm still missing something. I checked out your link, but I can't figure out hgow to get an "&etc" type character to display. If I simply type "&pi", I get --> &pi. Is there some key-chording needed here, as with ASCII?
Also, what character map are you using? The Windows accessory? Using that, pÖ¥ is what I get for "pi root infinity".
