Below are two things I'd love to be able to do when posting:

1) The ability to choose to be able to open a link in a new window.
2) Adding html code to a post.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback.  For #2, do you want to paste in HTMl and have the editor mark it up to look a certain way?  If you think of the editor like MS Word, pasting HTML in MS Word wouldn't do much, what sorta HTML are you interested in having the posting editor render?

i just like to understand the reason behind a feature request.  We don't have any plans to add html markup - as in my example about MS Word, it would be confusing to have it there.

Hi Chief.  Lets say that I have a banner that I create (and is hosted elsewhere) and it is provided to me in html code.  I'd like to be able to paste the code in the post and have it appear with the link activated.
 
It makes it easier than copying the source/image link and then having to copy the url as well.  So it would be similar to the embed flash option but maybe "embed/insert html".
 
Thanks.

you just have to paste the link directly to the image as a URL and we'll automatically detect that it's an image and generate the HTML code to display it within the forum correctly.

Some image urls aren't in jpeg or gif format, so the imgae can't be displayed.

One other question.  Is their an easy way of deleting multiple posts from a category or do I have to delete them one at a time?  How about deleting an entire category at once?

Thanks.
