Considering that the new version of the forums has been up for quite a while, it should have given you time to test it a bit. From my point of view, apart from a few construction sites, things are running fairly smoothly. However, one of these construction sites is the editor.
In order to exterminate the bugs currently present, it has become evident that the WYSIWYG-mode is more counterproductive than beneficial. For those that don't know, WYSIWYG stands for "What You See Is What You Get"; instead of seeing things like [b]bold text[/b], it'll directly look like this: bold text. Now as neat at this is, this features seems to be extremely buggy (not that whole editor itself is borked, but I'd say that at least the majority of possible bugs is located in the wysiwyg-area).
Hence, I propose to get rid of the WYSIWYG-mode (source-mode with all these buttons will stay). After all, the preview post-button is more reliable anyways. However, as it affects all of you, I'd like to let you take part in a little poll. Please vote and/or give reasons for or against the WYSIWYG-mode. Thanks!
