the wysiwyg editor
Is there any way you guys could make it so that you could edit what you see without the template and start from scratch using an empty page and then creating the different looks while seeing what you get?

Time to do something with editor that is letting Wetpaint down badly.
The editor has been bad for a long time. It really lets WetPaint down badly.
It loses or changes formatting constantly, or refuses to change formats when requested.
Becuase it is so bad, I often try creating my stuff outside then pasting it in to the editor. But the results are so unpredictable that way too. Often even crashing Explorer, or just make it not respond.
One solution that was proposed was to allow users to post HTML code. Why not ?
Maybe you could give us, or tell us about, a reliableoffline editor that produces output that can be cut and paste into WetPaint editor, and give us a reliable, predictable result.
But, to me, it just doesn't make sense to go on ingoring such a weak link in the overall system.
Please do SOMETHING to improve the lopw quality current situation.

Editor "Crashes" Explorer 7. Three examples.
Was trying to edit page http://boult.wetpaint.com/page/Contributor+-+Richard+Boult+%281950%2C+Stafford%29 .
I cannot get to the bottom of the page to add more, or edit what is there.
I tried 3 different ways to get there.
1. - I tried Ctrl/End. I got a flashing hour-galls. Continually. Only way out was to use Ctrl/Alt/Del then stop teh application.
2. I tried again, using [Page Down]. Same result.
3. I tried again. Just using the [Down Arrow] to go down one line at a time. When it got to the bottom of the visible section, did the same again on next [Down Arrow].

Editor loses formatting (often!)
The editor often loses some of the formatting on a page.
Two examples today, on page - http://boult.wetpaint.com/page/Family+Page+-+BOULT+Thomas+%281802%2C+Market+Drayton%29+%E2%80%93+Ann+DOWNS+%281800%2C+Newcastle%29
1. The table "headings" were centred. After doing some unrelated editing and saving teh pages, the headings became left aligned.
2. The tables did have visible cell boarders (plain lines). After doing some unrelated editing, all the cell borders were lost.
There are many other times the editor loses some element of formatting. And often adds or removes spaces, space lines.
With the editor being fairly unreliable, it is hard to use it for maintaining formatted documents.

Editing and Judgment Calls
Editing can be very subjective when it comes to a public, open content site. Although mistakes like improper spelling, bad grammar and broken links are cut and dry, many situations will require a final judgment call. For instance, someone may add an
