Is it possible to Switch the Rich Text Editor on VB from the standard form that shows the bb code to the mode where it shows exactly what you want show and you can see it on the editor from the start so the user doesn't need to do it.

(You can see this mode by clicking the A on the far top right hand side when creating a thread or replying).

This way new users can see exactly what their typing and how it will look - Bold will be Bold and a Smiley will show up as a Smiley not as the bbcode for the smiley.

Hope that makes sense

Ok I kind of found the answer (once I figured out the words to use to search for it) but it is just if you want to turn of WYSIWG Mode not turn of Standard mode looks like you may be stuck with standard mode
