Non-rich text mode for post editor?

[Andrusi]

So on the old forums I really strongly preferred the plain text mode for posting and editing over the rich text editor. Aside from the "I'm old" factor, there were some things that were tricky to do in rich text mode, like stitching together a single post with quotes from multiple threads (as we'd do in the annual Allspark Quotes thread), and there was also that thing where you'd copy and paste from another website and the text would come out with a hardcoded text color that ended up being hard to read.

Now it seems we're stuck with all rich text all the time?

Actually, it's the brackets. I usually prefer plain text mode as well.

Huh. That didn't seem to be doing anything for me, but maybe I was doing something wrong.

When you click the brackets it should gray out all the options and remove the BBcode formatting, such as quotes and such.
