• A Quote tool as you mention in this thread is definitely at the top of my list.


• "Reply With Quote" link should show actual RTE style output, rather than Forum Code


• RTE used for editing your Signature


• Background color that matches your Forum. You'd need to determine the next posts color. Sometimes it could be wrong if two people are posting at the same time, but I think that's acceptable and unavoidable.


• Ability to change the background color of an entire post. If the forum is black, but I need a white background to make my post effective, highlighting doesn't look too good sometimes.

• Perhaps I'm nitpicking, but the Mode: tool should disappear if there is only one option available (Rich Text if you don't allow Source editing)


• It would be nice to have a control on the right and on the bottom to increase the size of the editor dynamically. The Screensize tool just doesn't quite do enough for me (not to mention, screensize is a horible indication of browser size - something I said when they were building the Screensize tool to begin with). I administer a forum at work that we use to record research information. Alot of it is full blown Research Reports, and such. Often it involves large pastes from other websites (particularly News articles about technology). Sometimes, I need it larger verticle, and other times horizontally. Ideally, it would be nice to drag something in the lower right hand corner, but I know that's pretty hard to achieve.

Is that a function for the RTE or for forum code. It would be neet to have it done like that in forum code. If it is forum code, post it in the dev discussions general forum.

Well, I had intended to do it for RTE only. But, I suppose the true solution should be both - detect if RTE is on, otherwise use FC.

I guess I could release a RTE version, and a standard version. Bit more work than I was intending though. I'll think about it. And if I do it, I'll post the non-RTE version in the Dev general. Guess I'm going to have to install a non-RTE board on my server to test.

On another note, one bug in the RTE that I fixed is that the thread on post.asp?method=Reply doesn't have the proper formatting. This is fixed pretty easy by adding the <span class=.... code.

Thanks
