Ok so MyBB 1.8.X series is using WYSIWYG editor. I heard MyBB 2.0 will have the option to switch on/off WYSIWYG editor. But that is a long ways away. As is...You can only change the MyBB 1.8.x editor by reinstating it with another editor. Both of the following are plugin editors but have seen some bugs from users complaining about it. But they do not have WYSIWYG.

im not sure what happens to our custom BBCodes if we change the editor via plugin. Not sure if they stay, or if we have to remake them, or if its not possible with the plugin. Wouldnt know until i try to implement it.
The other option is to keep it as it is, but switch everyones editor view to source mode by default. Everyone can do this already in their UserCP on a per user basis currently. But i mean to default new users to it and change the current. I believe this would just insert the BBCode of the copied formatted text making it obvious that it is formatted text to new users (not sure i would have to test this). But instead of HTML in python code tags, we would have BBCode then.
The other option is to somehow disable WYSIWYG editor in the core. Though this is ideal, I am not sure how to do this at all. It could result in a long drawn out testing ground again like the beginning.
