Posting on UBBs would be much better with an interface similar to the one used on Yahoo Mail, with the standard copy/paste/html etc. toolbar buttons and functionality everyone is used to. I noticed someone took a stab at it recently but didn't quite get it perfectly.

Basically a redesign of the posting page using the 'even advancedererer text' mod plus an upload mod?

If you enable HTML, I think you can use the HTMLArea with no trouble at all. Untested: just upload the files to your NonCGI path, then add to the "head" section: <script language="Javascript1.2"><!-- // load htmlarea _editor_url = "$vars_config{NonCGIURL}"; // URL to htmlarea files var win_ie_ver = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")[1]); if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; } if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Windows CE') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; } if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; } if (win_ie_ver >= 5.5) { document.write('<scr' + 'ipt src="' +_editor_url+ 'editor.js"'); document.write(' language="Javascript1.2"></scr' + 'ipt>'); } else { document.write('<scr'+'ipt>function editor_generate() { return false; }</scr'+'ipt>'); } // --></script> Then under the

Thats screeny is pretty similiar to what VB (vbulletin) has, which is why I dont like it. If classic gears towards that way, you minus well stop designing the product. It's what makes the two different, or at least a small part of it anyways. Ooops, sorry I got off topic there, but ya, what LK said

vbulletin also has images and uses tables, does that mean we shouldn't use those either?

I think your being a little over dramatic there Ian. The posting interface of VB is too similar to Microsofts style (word, powerpoint etc) Why gear towards that? Too kiddy like if you ask me. :rolleyes: Besides,..it gives your user way to many options to format their text. (i.e - alignment, fontsize, color etc) Giving the user too many options/privledges can ask for trouble quite possibly

I've just noticed that there is a beta version which supports Mozilla. I'll try to do something with that tomorrow...

In any case what we choose to develop has nothing to do with VB. In either case it'd be "beautifying" things such as MS Office does; it's not our fault that others take the same path.

like it or not, the MS interface is the interface almost every computer user is used to. It makes posting much easier for a BBS neophyte. ps - y'all are great, I had no idea my suggestion would lead to such a rapid response.

I did it on http://www.lkworld.com/?ubb=newtopic;f=1 , but since it takes too much place to write one line I don't think it's BB material...

I don't think it's too difficult to fix that, I just want to know if anyone would actually use this hack.

I personally wouldn't use it; but I know a lot of sites that would (some that I also staff at).

I am not sure how but I know the hight and width are adjustable as well as a "regular" vs "enhanced" options being able to be toggled.

This is exactly the hack I'm looking for. My boards are too "blah". I need some new features similar to vbulletin.
