For some of us HTML is almost a way of life - comes second nature, etc.

However, I concede that it is archaic, especially when you consider the massive strides computer technology has taken in such a tiny space of time.

However, there are so many HTML editors around that it should be possible to incorporate the function in Mudcat - maybe in a similar way to 'Outlook' where you can decide for yourself whether to post 'text only' or HTML.

Computers are supposed to be time savers, but are the opposite for many people.

I fully understand, CH, that it is more than just frustrating to post something, then be on pins waiting to see how it really turns out - only to find you missed one character that screws up the entire mess.

Those of us brought up on BASIC programming know that only too well!

One answer may be a small HTML editor program that Mudcatters may download, which allows us to insert codes from a 'pick list'.

Just a thought...
