Posting on UBBs would be much better with an interface similar to the one used on Yahoo Mail, with the standard copy/paste/html etc. toolbar buttons and functionality everyone is used to. I noticed someone took a stab at it recently but didn't quite get it perfectly.

it sounds like he's asking for MS Word, just for the UBB. ie, a WYSIWYG type editor.

Well the interface is done. All someone has to do is figure a way to interface it...

If you enable HTML, I think you can use the HTMLArea with no trouble at all.
Untested: just upload the files to your NonCGI path, then add to the "head" section:
Code
<script language="Javascript1.2"><!-- // load htmlarea
_editor_url = "$vars_config{NonCGIURL}"; // URL to htmlarea files
var win_ie_ver = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")[1]);
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Windows CE') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (win_ie_ver >= 5.5) {
document.write('<scr' + 'ipt src="' +_editor_url+ 'editor.js"');
document.write(' language="Javascript1.2"></scr' + 'ipt>');
} else { document.write('<scr'+'ipt>function editor_generate() { return false; }</scr'+'ipt>'); }
// --></script>
Then under the
