    How can I enable WYSIWYG automatically for everybody

    I noticed when the forums here updated to vb3 the wysiwyg option was set automatically, but for my forum you have to go in to User CP to use it, I want it so that everybody can use it automatically, how can this be done

    There is an option under General Options to turn it on globally.

            Admin CP -> General Options -> Message Posting Interface Options

            First option in the list.

              General options do not have a way to force or set a default. It simply shows that you can have one or the other.

                What browser are you using? WYSIWYG only shows up in IE 5.5 or higher under Windows.

                  Yes, but that does not enable it by default, you still have to go to user cp to use it

                        You might have to set everyone's user profile to use it.

                        Code:
                        update user set showvbcode=2
                        Just be warned that not everyone can use the WYSIWYG Editor.

                          will this change everyone currently registered's default as well as future members' default?
