A moderator asked me if it was possible to change the default mode the post form uses. His suggestion was to change it to Prompt mode because many users find it easier to use.
I looked through the admin options but can't find any place to set this option. Does it have to be done in the code?

Ay, 'twould also do. But XHTML requires that boolean attributes are used in full, rather than in their minimised form.

Since you asked, my idea (and my moderators) is to forget it. While this may make it easier for some noobs, it's going to make it LOTS more difficult for your core posters.
There's a bit right above the <option> stuff that lists the modes with true/false. Once I changed those it worked fine.

You might want to remove the toolbars entirely from your forum?
Most of our visitors fall into that category. This forum is a community board and the average member is just discovering copy-n-paste. Most of them are puzzled when they click a button and "nothing" happens. They don't associate the toolbar button with the appearance of little words and square brackets.
Changing the form to default with Prompt mode was actually a moderator's suggestion. And so far it's quite a hit.
