The Forum has been Updated
The code has been upgraded to the latest .NET core version. Please check instructions in the Community Announcements about migrating your account.
This really isn't a full mod, but I didn't know where else to post this.
The bug is when using the javascript formating options, such as bold, italics, etc, in a textbox with enough lines of text to have scroll bars, the textbox scrolls all the way to the top.
This easy fix keeps the scroll bar where it is when click the formating buttons.
Open inc_code.js and find the following function AddText
Code needs to be placed at the beginning of the function and at the end of the function:
Paste the following
at the top, immediatly after function AddText(text) {
Then, at the bottom of the function, paste the following:
immediately BEFORE the closing } of the function.
That's it.
If you haven't made any changes to your javascript then the default function, as being used by this forum right now, would look like this where new code is blue and old code is red.

nice one, I guess it should be included in a future release at some point.<

Ah-ha! Knew I'd seen this somewhere 
But, of course, the byte-scrimping coder in me had to clean it up a bit
