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 "&lt;" and "&gt;" 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.)

Good suggestion. I''ll be sure to add it to the next version of the forums. (why does that sound familiar?)
