How do I enable users to include links, etc

[twobob]

Hi there ... how do I enable the fonts/bold/italics/links/quotes, etc options (ie all those that normally appear directly above the message box)? When I, as admin, write a new message, all these options appear. However, my users don't see any of this so can't include posts, images, bullet points, etc. How do I enable this please? Thanks ... twobob

Users can individually set which of the 3 text editors they use for writing posts on vBulletin. Basic, Advanced, and WYSIWYG.

The last section on the User Control panel -> Edit Options page:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions

On my forum, after getting several e-mails from people asking me how to change my settings (after overlooking the "UserCP" button), I changed the name of the button to "My Settings". This might be helpful as well.

You can help your users by setting the default control panel for new user registrations to WYSIWYG.
I believe this is under AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options

Thanks feldon!

Is there any way I change the Message Editor Interface to the Standard Editor Toolbar for all existing members?

Grateful for any tips! Thanks, ... twobob

No, I think that for the existing members you can only say to change that field in their profile.

Hi there - found it!

ACP > vBulletin Options > Message Posting Interface Options > Enable Clickable Message Formatting Controls > Select 'Enable Standard Controls' from Full Editor drop down

Cheers!
