Hi

Is there a way to set the message creation window so it opens in the WYSIWYG mode so that you can cut and paste by default?

You would think I would remember to change it when I start but I always forget until I need to paste something.

Go to settings, general settings, scroll down to miscellaneous options, and click enhanced WYSIWYG full swing. The settings tab is at the very top right of the forum page, next to your name, notifications, my profile tabs.

Thanks I'll do that!

Actually I had it backwards it was Source Mode that I needed I guess but it seems to work now!
