Found a great item in the My Controls area under "Board Settings"... Might be new with this latest upgrade, I'd never seen it before.
"Type of text editor to use when posting" (Rich Text Editor requires either IE6, Mozilla or Firefox)
If you use any recent versions of the web browsers listed, changing this option to "Rich Text Editor" will make coding "live" in your posts... So instead of a bunch of BBCODE (i.e. , , , etc), you'll get something more like MS Word where your changes are actually visible while you are working the post.
I like this feature a lot, since I can see the post as it will appear when I send it.
