Actually, I think FR has the best forum interface on the Net. For instance, try joining one of those million generic bulletin boards and pinging someone...

Yup, FR has some features no other boards have, the ability to link posts together by post number and ping specific people.

That said, I still wish FR had a true HTML editor. I hate having to type in all the formatting codes all the time.

...And, I wish we had the ability to edit our posts after we submit them!

If you use Mozilla Firefox, there are two little extensions you can use to help out. One is bbCodeXtra/htmlExtra, and the other is Insert Signature. The first one lets you chooses a variety of html or bbCode tags from a context menu with a click of your mouse. The second lets you input any characters you like so you can choose them from the context menu, with your mouse. For instance, one of mine is the < p > tag; I select it from the menu, click on it, and it prints on the screen. Used together, you don't have to type in tags over and over.

Sincerely,

d

That’s kind of funny. Hot Air has an html editor and I still use html over there. Habit.
