The support for maths is very limited, and while it would be nice to be able to eg. write:

The solutions to [math]ax^2+bx+c=0[/math] is [math]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/math]

and see:

it isn't implemented at the moment.
That formula in incidentally done with
mimeTex, I think there may be a way to make vBulletin show the math tags I made using that, but that may require more server configuration that Fraser has time for at the moment.
I do agree that it would be really nice to be able to include

in an explanation, but that's currently not easy. (Says he while doing it)
Uploading small images you've made (note the YOU here, copyright issues are relevant), is done by the Go Advanced button, and uploading it as an attachment.
