I guess everybody might enjoy this new feature, but as it's not been tested that well, it's off by default for everyone.

What is it? it's a complete WYSIWYG editor!

You can now edit your message and see right away how it will appear, this also enhance a lot the way the message could look.

Beware though, abuse of it might be a problem, so behave while using it.

If you wonder how the smilies work with this editor, it's now drag-and-drop instead of click, it actually works (drag and drop) with images on all other browser pages, so it will ease your writing.

To turn this on, you must have Internet Explorer 5.5 or later (I can't garantee it works in other browsers, you'll have to test it) and go to your account options to turn it on, then it will be automatic, you'll have all the features enabled.

I didn't do it, so if there are errors, I'll have to either code my own, or bug them to fix those.. I was about to do it when I found that one which is pretty complete.

Let me know what you think!

In what way is this editor any different to the old one?

Seems exactly the same under Firefox, except I can actually see the smilies now whereas before my proxy server ate them...

Hrm, never mind, for some reason the option didn't apply for me, tried again and it was moaning about not having a valid avatar link (because I don't have one)

On that topic, why aren't PNG's allowed for avatars? It said JPEG/GIF only.

File size, I'd guess. It's easy enough to export a PNG from Fireworks to JPG, only takes about a second.

Yes its possible but JPEG and GIF are both patent encumbered and highly highly lossy. PNG is neither, and its not much bigger at all.

That's pretty cool. I have been gone a while, but like New Order, every time I try to get out they pull me back in.

Of course wysiwyg works; I'm using it now.
