Original Post
Just here to the left, underneath where it says 'Message:', there could be a small panel of icons. Clicking on these icons would add the relevant text to this edit box, using java-script. Example icons could include:
- all the smileys/emoticons the board supports
- < and > symbols, inserting "<" and ">" into the text
- icons for the various markup tags such as Source, Code, I, B, etc etc (it adds start and end tags and places your cursor in the middle)
- and anything else you could think of.
This would be pretty trivial to do and would mean that people don't have to memorize how to make the #includes appear properly, what the code is to get the white source code formatting box, etc.
(Edit: for anyone else reading this who finds the above doesn't make sense: I am referring to the page you get when making a new post or editing an existing one.)
