What are the two modes in Switch Editor Mode? This is a slanted A button to the right of the text box.

In one mode, I can't highlight, select and copy text and the other I can.

The default mode is "WYSIWYG" which is a huge improvement over the way it used to be before we went to VB3.0.

The "switch editor" button will change you to the standard editor which works like before we upgraded 2 yrs ago. It doesnt give you "What you see is what you get", but rather still uses BB tags to mark it up.

For example, if you type in some text in Bold and switch editor modes, you will see the difference.

I can really think of no benefit of using the standard editor off hand.

only thing I can see it helping for is multiple quotes and previous post manipulations... Primarily the copy and paste, even though you can still highlight and <ctrl> C and <ctrl> V...
