Bring back the old chat box

Sick of this html shit, quoting is buggy and half the time my posts are spammed with <br>'s. What exactly was wrong with the forum posting format that has been used on every forum for years?

    This might be a transition, or something has gone wrong with the old. To be honest it does not look very professional...

    Yep, it's being discussed. But I have to agree, the current quick-reply box is awful. Truly terribad.

    Still, formatting options are better than none (especially when editing)
    Html / converting it /bugging out is the only real issue I see

    I'd actually prefer a WSIWYG editor, but the built-in one just isn't functional. Dealing with quotes is a nightmare and it has the annoying tendency to change the text font/spacing.

    It changed back it seems, much nicer! I don't know about you guys but it was just that giant white box really killing my retinas and felt so out of place with the rest of the page color

    Yes, that's what it was, yay for BBCode! So much easier to use and manipulate.

    To be honest I liked the previous chat box, but I hadn't really tried to do all that much with it so I'm sure there were problems I just hadn't seen yet.
