@TK ...Yes but No

He is not talking about the 'text formatting' he's talking about the  'image' , 'link' and 'quote' buttons.
A lot of people dont realise they can make links other than the address etc ,...read post#6
It's not that bloody important anyway!
It was something I saw on another site and at the time somebody here was (still) not understanding how to use the bbcode properly......... c'est la vie , Ksera whatever.

This thread went pear shaped very quickly anyway!!!

Yeah I got it now (i didn't really read this thread because some people posted completely off topic stuff to it. I hate it when they do that).

Kings, there will always be people who won't have the slightest clue about how to use the bbcode properly. I didn't know it when I first came here, because I didn't have much experience with posting to forums in general... but I'm smart enough to do my own research and I learned quickly. I don't think the img/link/quote buttons require additional text in there, because it'll only get in the way of the experienced user (on the other side I don't think the experienced user will use the buttons at all). But why not put the correct syntax in the floating text when you hover your mouse over the button! Like..

"Insert a Link
CORRECT SYNTAX:
[ url=http://yourlinkgoeshere]description[ /url]"

like so?

I do believe we used to have more text edit buttons if that's what you mean?

no, he wants to have that once you pressed for example. the 'B' button for bold text the software writes more description for the common user like:

[ b]delete this and put your bold text here[ /b]

not only this simple [ b][ /b]
