My idea for a new "editor mode"
 

After a bit of brainstorming this is what I've come up with, sure it's a long way's from being a complete idea but feedback is welcome. And who knows, maybe this could be an opensource project at vbulletin.orgAttachment 47448

I'm sure that you know that you can double click in a thread area while in forum display to edit the title of it yes? I was thinking of an "editor mode" that had these double clickable areas all over the place and when you click on it one section you get a color drop down box like the ones found in editors. Now thats not all that happens on double click in "editor mode". There's other fill in the box options for stuff such as:


"text color" (user defined or selected from drop down box)

"gradient for this area" (user may select a gradient)

"bold, italic & underline" (tickboxes for each that can be applied to the double clicked area)

"background color" (user defined or selected from drop down box)

pretty much any area that can be targeted with css should be able to also be targetted with double clicking while in editor mode.
