WYSWYG BB code editor upgrade for vB 4

The vB 4 built in WYSWYG BB code editor is lacking much needed options to create professional looking content for the cms content. Especially wrapping text around images that will preview correctly in the home page preview. I added the customized IMG2 option code but it does not do well in the previews. Inline images leave lots of real estate blank in your article...and visitors seldom scroll to view content...within the 3 seconds you have their attention.

I would like very much to suggest having the ability to upgrade the BBcode editor to one like the JCE 1.5.6 upgrade editor being offered to Joomla sites owners. http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads.

I love my vB 4 cms forum with over 17 thousand members and growing! http://www.fishsniffer.com/forums/co...orth-To-Alaska

Cheers!

I voted yes, of course. But really there are other things I'd like to see worked on first. Like embedding in forum posts (dynamic video definitions, flickr, picasa, etc.). And widgets and forum blocks need to be easier to use.

I agree Videx....I am very hopeful things are only going to get better. Since I moved my forums over to vB 4.0 cms in one month we have gone from 16K to over 17K registered members and growing. Having the ability to embed and share is key to social networking.

I brought up BBcode on behalf of the frustration of the staff writers at our print publication that feeds the articles on our site. I have been working at getting them to embrace the cms sections of the forums to post their articles but they are not liking the limitations of the current BBcode editor since they are used to using Wordpress and Joomla JCE.

Thanks for your feedback.
