[@Mahz]If you default the editor to HTML for new posts, could it potentially remain defaulted to BBCode for existing posts (with an option to switch to HTML later)? I'm picturing a scenario where I edit the 0th post above, and my BBCode fails because it defaulted to HTML in the middle of a combat, and I'd need to spend a day learning a new programming language while my RPers are wondering if they died or not. They probably did though. Dunno why they're wondering.

it wouldn't actually take that long to convert from html to bbcode, so long as mahz doesn't expect us to code websites and the like.

i predict a lot of it will be the same tags we've used for years (bold, italic, etc.), just their html variants. and the html variants aren't that different. it'd be just like if mahz added new tags to the bbcode editor. and, in a worst case scenario where learning this new language is [i]impossible[/i], there's always the buttons at the top to add the tags in for you.
