I mostly prefer to type my posts out in using vB Code instead of seeing how it would appear in the box I am typing in. It drives me nutty when I’m working with multiple pictures, or multiple fonts/colors/combos.
Maybe I seem to be over looking it, but is there any option to disable the WYSIWYG editor, or is it something that isn’t possible at this point?

I’ve even composed large posts in Word or another editor before. I wrote a few pages on the Neon buildup that way (neonglh).
