So to expand on my previous topic where going into an "advanced view" completely destroys any formatting you've done, I came up with a decent shortcut to change that. You can, yes, type it in a word document, then go into post new message, change to WYSWIG and paste, or review it before you post it and keep it in your history.
But how about a WYSWIG quick post box? We have a quick post box which is decent and has the general format, but I think it would be really cool to have an entire editor. We can already enlargen the message box by hiting the arrows. I don't know if it would take a lot of programming.
