"New Thread" toolbar problem.

[Bill Stuntz]

When new users register on our site to ask a question, the first thing they're likely to do is create a new thread. And they're immediately presented with the complex 3-line set of tools in the editor screen. The advanced tools are mostly useless for new users - they don't know what the extra tools do, or even why they might want to use them. For other functions like responding to a post, they get the simpler 1-line set of useful tools with a "Go Advanced" button if they want more tools to fancy up their post.

Is there a way to make the "New Thread" editor display the simpler set of useful tools and a "Go Advanced" button instead of the complex one? Most people, and especially new users, don't need the full set of tools.

On a similar subject, is there a way to add a "Preview Post" button to the simple 1-line set of tools? 95% of the time, the ONLY extra tool I need from the "Go Advanced" tools is that "Preview Post" button.
