    Forum Post Formatting Capabilities

    If the answer is going to be, just use HTML to fix or modify things, that's not acceptable.  We shouldn't have to be HTML programmers to use this forum.  When are simpe formatting capabilities going to be reinstated?

    I want the ability to change the font size and color.  I don't want the forum to fight me when I cut and paste.  Every time I cut and paste the fonts go to a tiny point size, and line spaces are impossible to maintain.  Things jump around uncoontrollably.  Sometimes word-wrap no longer works automatically.

    And, please get rid of that little <P></P> that pops up as you start any post, leaving 1 space at the start of the text..

    Truthfully, there's days when I'd rather not even post than fight with this stuff.

    That is a VERY GOOD question.

     For me, it's the big "A" immediately to the right of Font Size.

     I see neither the Font or color ICONs.

     Same as Randall's here. No color choice, no font size choice.

     And come to think of it, when are they ever going to address the issues in this thread?

     Randy, is your content editor set to "enhanced"?

    Never mind, I found it.  If anyone is looking for it, click on your username at the top right of the page, then click on Edit My Profile on the left side of the profile page, then click on the Site Options tab, and then change the Content Editor drop down menu to Enhanced.

    [edit] Thanks, Todd!
