Vinny - dont think you need a WYSIWYG editor in the "whats new" box. No social network has this and its not the point of an activity feed or status updates
Yes I do realize that but it would allow you to express yourself better in the What's New area and your right NO OTHER site has anything like that. Now Jack think about it I think this would work out very nicely, but I see your point maybe leave it up to the Admin to turn this function on or off this way if you don't want this you can simply shut it off.. Yes, No??
