[M4industries]

 This may be obsolete because some of these features are for pro's only.

[Junkyard John]

Ya I know I'm kinda mad...it's cool when they add extra features for people who pay, but removing features from standard accounts? Uber meh

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Well the new changes make this instructable trash.

[NachoMahma]

.  Moot and obsolete would be good descriptions, but I really don't think "trash" is applicable. Things change. On the Internet, things change fast.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

True, so true. I just couldn't think of a different word. :)

With the deployment of the new FCKEditor on 7 October 2009, comment text is now straight HTML.  Using the "Source" button, you can enter regular HTML markup, including inlined images, along with your regular text.

[ReCreate]

Hmmm...where is the source button?
Anyways, are they letting users simply put normal HTML in comments?

[kelseymh]

It's in the More Formatting section.  Click that button and follow the instructions.

Yes.

[ReCreate]

One error, its trying to rip money from my bank account...oh well...(but really, i can live without extra formatting, i don't mind)But i do mind allsteps.
(and do they really let user put whatever they want in comments? This is a little dangerous...)

[kelseymh]

Neither payment nor allsteps is relevant to text formatting.  I'm sure you can find an approppriate place for that discussion.  Apparently they are supporting direct HTML input.

[ReCreate]

Direct HTML? This is very unsafe, someone could insert dangerous scripts into the page, Javascripts, and Applets...

• Cool!
