I have added the "Remove Formatting" button next to source view in the editor (the second to last button) to remove nasty formatting when pasting from wherever.

Makes cleaning up articles so much quicker.

Would it be possible to have an option to upload small attachments to forum posts?

It would be possible yeah but would take me a little while.

A new rule to follow and non-negotiable, no links in article taglines, avoid any bbcode if you can guys (apart from an image of course if you don't upload one!) I want taglines to just be a short introduction to articles and nothing more, also please make sure if you accept an article from someone else that the article doesn't miss info from the tagline, like links if they put them only in the tagline which I keep finding and people across the web complaining our articles don't have links :(.

I will soon update editor text to make a note of this and on the submission page for users and guests too.

Part of my small steps towards making everything fit properly and be consistent across articles.

Cool cool. Do we need to go through and trim stuff out of old ones too?

I just went and did that on my articles. Man, do I truly like to put links everywhere!

If you would be so kind, it's not currently a major issue it's a when you get time but don't leave it too long kind of deal.

Looks like I broke that rule only once, and that was on the old site. Fixed now.

Thanks guys, also please make sure you use the tagline image uploader rather than linking to other sources, especially when it's a news submission as the images people link to may only be up for a short time on whatever host they grabbed it from. Don't want articles to end up with broken images.
