    I don't know if this would be a benefit to anyone else, but I was wondering how many people would like a shorter URL for a forum they can give out to non-boards people

    e.g. http://boards.ie/motors would go to http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=47

    Would be particularly handy for our hosted forum, but don't know if it would benefit anyone else...

    I like this idea, though I would prefer a structure of www.boards.ie/category/forum, as this would make more logical sense, and help people navigate the menu system better. This works very well with Wiki systems, and I think it would sit well here too.

    The folder system you said would definitely help the navigation, but I am talking more about just an entrance to the site.
    I would like to be able to give out a URL like http://boards.ie/Charlesland, as it would be easy to remember, whereas http://boards.ie/hosted/public/charlesland wouldn't. But, like I said earlier, I think this is probably an isolated case.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
