I too do not like bouncing back and forth between tabs and find the current scheme annoying. * Really some consultation beforehand would have been appreciated. * The first rule for a developer should be to remember that real non-developer people use the products, and that the change that seems perfect might just make the product less usable. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [WYSIWYG Editor](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wysiwyg-editor-3/) * [rueger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rueger/) * (@rueger) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wysiwyg-editor-3/#post-507893) * My God – could we hide that in a more obscure place? * Seriously, like under, oh “Options” “Use WYSIWYG editor for current user?” * Barry * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Messed up IE rendering with URL forwarding](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/messed-up-ie-rendering-with-url-forwarding/) * Thread Starter [rueger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rueger/) * (@rueger) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/messed-up-ie-rendering-with-url-forwarding/#post-111640) * Actaully, I changed the settings at joker.com.
