This has got me scratching my bald head for a while now  Grin
Why is it not possible to undo smiley or BB codes that one may have clicked on accidentally in a post they are trying to create? With CTRL+Z It's sort of convenient, you know, especially if you have been used to typing in different sorts of apps on PC.

Was the undo (CTRL+Z) option disabled on purpose? Or can our script guy (PowerGlove) make some patch?  Smiley

If you think about it slightly differently.. what's wrong with just hitting the back space key? That's actually less effort than having to hit two separate keys and achieves the same result. While it is minuscule and can likely be cached by browser software, it's better to have as little code as possible on a website in order to minimize the bandwidth usage across all the views per day. It also has the potential to introduce a new attack vector - however small the possibility may be, so better to leave it for truly essential requirements and reduce the surface area for bugs to hide in.
