Could we get some formatting buttons added to the Create Content pages? As much fun as typing html tags is every time I want an effect, it would be nice if I could highlight a section of text and click a button. It should be able to alternate between a "you see what you get" format and a tagged format so people can use that as a learning tool but still be able to post a formatted post with minimal knowledge.

I wanted to avoid a wysiwyg interface for forums. It honestly confuses more people than it helps even with a training wheels mode, and can cause some major formatting issues on the backend. We do have BBCode available if that's easier than HTML tags? There's a lightweight interface I've seen to allow BBCode to be easier to input for users - so I'll take a look to see if there's anything like that that I can add to our comments.
I fix broken things. Should you need to get a feature on eclipsephase.com fixed, mention it on the suggestions board and we'll look into it for you. I also fix Darkcast and the Darkcast Wiki
