I am wondering how I can use the latex program on my forum. My forum is an InvisonFree forum (http://invisionfree.com/) . Since its not very advanced, I can't really installed mods just IPB and vB forums have. I was thinking about making a javascript program and stuff, but how do I get these weird symbols to be in HTML?

So what are your options? Incuding the paying options. If you show us all the options, maybe we can use google to try to find you a free and legal option.
 
Free, I don't have any money to pay. Also, the forum I am trying to install the Latex or soemthing similar to it is a FREE forum. They don't give you acess to sever, like you can't install mods and stuff. You have to use javascript/html if you want to mod anything...

Do you really need LaTeX on the forum? I mean you called it "weird symbols". No offense or anything. Just consider the necessity of having it on your forum.

it takes some relatively serious work to implement LaTeX in a forum.
