The board is off to a good start. Thanks to the Moxiecode team for TinyMCE, the 
"WYSIWYG" editor that easily plugs into the page. This is a seriously cool tool, I'm sure you will agree.
One more feature I would like to see it provide is a standardised way of showing emoticons, like if you type ;) it should be a wink. Well I have gone and done that for us, only it won't show up until the form is submitted. So here is a list of the shortcuts that you can use to get each smiley. Learn your most popular ones, and it will save a lot of clicking.
Feel free to correct me if you think I have breached a convention!
