A/a button :P I needa activate it

I've been to many forumotion forums where they have an A/a button that shows things as they are while the user is typing on the box...
for example... if the user clicks on 'B' (bold) his text turns automatically bold rather than the ever so irritating (b) and (/b)
sry but it is irritating
same goes for the colors, text tilt, underline.... etc.
also after activation is it possible to set it as default for my forum users....

can anyone help me please

Click it, and that what makes it work

As Karenn stated, you click it, and it inverts the style of your post.

Problem is I can't see it on my forum I see it in other forums though
do I have to activate it from my ACP or something?

General>Messages & emails>Configuration
Activate extended message editor :Yes

See if that works.

If what Sanket stated doesn't work, then try resynchronizing your forum.

Sanket it was already active... so I don't think anything changed... sry

Rok how do we resynchronize the forum?

u have to be patient after clicking on the button
Let me visit your forum and check

...bump...

It cant be done, users will have to do it themself.

oh wierd xD
1 forum had it on default... it was kinda cool
thnks for the info
