Hi Chris,
This does look better. Can't update Firefox as Windows ME does not support it.
Thanks for this new look!

The reply windows with the old format had boxes to click for bold, italics, URL, etc. Now we don't have those available so if I want to type something in italics or add a link I don't know how to do it with this new format. Maybe you'll have more options available soon and I should just be patient?

Hope this helped.

The bbcode list is all well and good, but it makes it less user-friendly. Isn't there some way to put these tools in the GUI so we can just click on them? I thought these were basic things to have on online forums!

See attached image, that should be the editor you see when you're editing/posting messages. When you use quick reply there is a lite-version of it but if you click "Go Advanced" then it will display the full editor.

It wont work for anyone using browsers that are not up-to-date within the past few years. I think it works on Firefox 2 or later, not sure what versions of IE but probably IE 6 or later.

I'm running both Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox 3.0.10, which I believe is the latest version.
There are no editor tools for either one when I use the regular "Post Reply" option.

Please see attached jpeg.

Ah ok, I went into the Control Panel and in Edit Options was able to select a more advanced setting for the Managing Editor tools, or whatever it was called.

Thanks for leading me in the right direction!
