    I can understand your frustration - but turning it into a WYSIWYG edit would just be a duplication of what's already there.  I doubt very much that the advanced options can be applied to the WYSIWYG as it is based around the CKEditor and that doesn't have the options you're looking for, unless there are additional plugins that will allow more control.  I would say that was the whole point of creating the text box so that more finite control could be exercised that the WYSIWYG could not provide for.

    It looks to me like you can stick the content into a container or not. From a coding standpoint, it's adding a <div> around the RTE content, presumably.  I know coding directly gives you plenty of control.  Great!  if you like that, more power to you.  With my limited available free time, I'd rather be creating content, not formatting it.  At least not in code that typos, which I have a lot of, causes messes you have to figure out. 

    What I am asking for is not a zero sum game.  You can get your pretty box, I can get mine and we're both happy 🙂

  2. On the off chance I'm not missing a setting somewhere... would it be possible to put some controls in to handle the new categories you've added to Blog?

    Best I can tell, there is no way to move a blog to a category.  My test site is an old copy of my active site... so I have a few blogs

    My logic directs me to the Manage Blog link where I'd expect to see a "Move" or "Change Category" or some such.  Nothing.  Nothing anywhere, actually.  In the ACP, you get a strange dialog for a mass move that doesn't allow you to set categories. It lists them, but not selectable.

    It's entirely possible I'm missing something, of course.  That happens far too often 🙂

     

  3. I think having this as an option would be a great idea as well.  We bumped into this problem with our custom app, since the main software won't allow multiple categories, neither could our app.  (Without a lot of goofy retooling).  Changing the base software to allow for real or virtual multiple categories would be very handy.

  4. I've had the opposite effect on my site. Our traffic increased. We have 60-80 people on the forums at any given moment. And the status update feed has become very heavily used. But my site is very heavy in the 15-24 demographic and making it more facebook-like seems to have appealed to them.
