Super Cool WarriorForum Tip - Will Make Your Life Easier

[Ron Douglas]

I just discovered this cool tip for posting on the forum. Maybe I'm just behind the times or maybe lots of people don't know. If you already know this - shaddup, I'm just trying to help .

Here's the tip:

You can customize the message box that you use to post. Instead of posting in that terrible box where you have to add tags like bold and [url] manually, you can change the text box to a WYSIWYG.

This will allow you (with one click) to change the font, add smileys, bold text, add a hyperlink and many of the other text editing stuff you can do in Word.

To enable this option:

1) Click User CP
2) Click Edit Options
3) Scroll down to the bottom to "Message Editor Interface"
4) Select "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editor" and hit Save Changes
5) Come back to this thread and test out the changes by posting a thank you reply

Mine was a simple text box. I never changed it so I assumed it was the default.

[Ron Douglas]

Great, glad it helped someone. I was beginning to think I was the only one with that default setting.

This is really cool. I always had the WYSIWYG, but I learned other things and even changed a couple of settings on the parts of the user interface I didn't know about before! Thanks.
