Wonderful tool, effective, and very easy to use! Thanks.

Fabulous. What should I do to put this in use, or is that not yet available to us? I admire particularly the way you give instant feedback as to the appearance of the future post.

Also sorry to report that I have great difficulty making it work in IE6. Since I normally use only Firefox 2.0, this is not a problem for me, but it may be for others. It seems to work perfectly in Firefox. Also I cannot reproduce Paul Fierlinger's problem in Firefox: Testing

LJA, my apologies for IE6 compatibility. It seems that once you switch to IE7, you can never, ever go back. Therefore, I can only test compatibility to IE7, FF2, and any Gecko / Zilla compatible browsers.

Paul Fierlinger, what failed? I see that the codeblock text can begin on the same line as the text "Code Block".

UPDATE
I've corrected my script to work the same way theirs does with [[/b]code] tags, I didn't realize theirs was so weird.link] codes they mention in the sticky. I didn't make a button for them, yet. Also, I recommend that you add your video code LAST, otherwise it just looks annoying as the video preview moves and refreshes every time you add a letter before or after it.

What I don't get is where am I supposed to place this plug in. It works within this thread because I can click on the link in the first post. I write something, copy it and paste it when I return to the thread. Is this how it works? How do you access it a year from now, a million threads down the road?

You got me Paul, I don't know. I just made it to make it. :)

I suppose you could bookmark the page, or maybe Sony will add the same things I did, or I suppose I could make something where it actually lets you submit from that page. I dunno.

O.K., I understand now. Well, I bookmarked it already before and I think that's already useful. I like it.
