It is unfortunate that the choice to disable the editor has been taken from us. I'm perfectly fine with formatting my messages with HTML code tags myself, I don't need a WYSIWYG editor to do it for me. I'm certainly not ecstatic about having to run my own Javascript on the game to cleanse it because the only other alternative is to turn off Javascript for the entire site.
You could just click the "source" button (second from the right), which allows you to enter plain HTML...
I may return the choice - you'll notice it hasn't yet been removed from the preferences. The reason I force the change is that people resist change just because. The best way I know to get actualy change is to force it upon people, wait for a couple of days for the "something has changed! the world is ending!" whining to end, and then listen to the real, rational complaints. People are amazing at adapting, they just hate doing it. But we
need this better editor.
