How to turn off the new forum text editor...

We finally got the bugs worked out of the new text editor for the photo.net forums. Personally, I think the new editor, while not perfect, is a lot better than what we had before. There is no reason that people should have to learn circa 1999 HTML to make a forum post in 2009.

However, I realize that some of our users would prefer to go back to the older non-WYSIWYG system. Thanks to our crack team of programmers, that is now possible.

  • Go to your "My Workspace" area (link in the upper right corner of every page).
  • Under "Account Options" look for "WYSIWYG editor: disable - enable".
  • Click on "disable".
  • Enjoy your new WYSIWYG-free existence.
