I mean, it is already here but for those who're not computer geeks perhaps adding a link next to the smiley codes one telling people what is available and how to do that effect?
Perhaps even buttons to use to add the more common codes like bold, italics, blockquote and links?
It is nice, but it would be better if it were right there for everyone to use. So maybe Ben could speak to him and incorporate it rather than having to recreate the wheel.
