yea, I edited the code as instructed with your neat new editor in the Admin CP and it works like it used to now.
Perhaps you can figure out a way to give the option in the admin cp somewhere, but obviously that would be a pain since it would have to be changed in any and all skins used.
Looks like the only solution is the one you offer, tell us how to manually change the code in the skins.
That works for me.
Thanks.
