Kinda confused. The plain editor works just fine from a Droid. (I use a Motorola Droid, fwiw) I just checked to make sure. It pops up when I selected "Answer It"

ah...writing an ible. I misread "ibles" as meaning the site in general.

sorry 'bout that. Well, at least you know that you can reply to questions via the droid using the plain editor, anyway.

You're absolutely right. I just tried to reply via rich text using the droid and it loaded the plain editor instead. Or *a plain editor anyway. Maybe ckeditor (their js editor addon) doesn't jive with cell phones or uses flash in some way. I'm guessing you need to direct it to bugs.

Maybe not. It seems to be a little, although not like some sites are. I'm running 2.1. It came installed and I haven't done any rooting yet. Waiting impatiently for 2.2 (Froyo). I'll have to look up x10. Not familiar. fwiw, I believe Froyo is already out in Europe, at least according to several posts at Droidforums.. .

I am assuming then, that you can not access the "source" option? From there, you should be able to eliminate formatting, but if it still doesn't allow you to type in the editor box.....you'd have to have it "set that condition" at load time.

It's always something, isn't it? :-)
