Thank you very much Xyzzy! I do appreciate it. I had in mind something similar to a1call's suggestion, but if this is all that you can reasonably do with the forum software, I am grateful.

I would guess that discussion of Mersenne numbers with an exponent less than 100 would be incredibly rare. If links were to be automatically added, I would recommend that it not link for anything less than 100, or perhaps 1000. I also previously suggested that it only place a link where there is a prime number, which would eliminate M48, as well as M8388608. I think that it would only take a little work to eliminate the vast majority of these issues.

I would also hope that (were this ever to be implemented) this could be disabled or enabled in a post, just as smilies and parsing of links can be enabled or disabled under Miscellaneous Options. I would even encourage this to be turned off by default.

Matching primes would not be very straightforward. The only way I can think of would be to make a long string of all the primes to be matched, separated by a non numeric separator and running a match.

Now that I think about it, you could run a primality test on the matched exponent and only insert the link if true.

Right, it would take next to no time. But an upper bound would need to be fixed, the obvious answer being the current PrimeNet limit of 999,999,999.

Yes, the previous prime is 999,999,9673 and can be instantly checked at:
