I like it. http://images.wikia.com/templates/images/4/44/Icon_biggrin.gif Let's talk about the stuff that didn't work for me and some suggestions.
 * 1) Preview button may not be necessary. I suggest if the mouse focus on the "Post Comment" button, it will automatically preview. Cool huh?
 * 2) Yeah, the editor takes a while to load. Can you preload it somehow, e.g., in a "hidden" frame?
 * Yes, for the strikethrough button. It is as useful as bold and italics.
 * 1) I think its better to have just one button for source and visual. That is, in visual mode, the eye button is darkened but in source mode, it is not.
 * 2) If you haven't done so already, the editor could remember the last time source or visual mode is used so if you used source mode last, the editor will start in source mode.
 * 3) "Add image" button is an admin's nightmare. Most users don't bother with copyright attribution so it clutters the file namespace with uncategorized and duplicated images.
 * 4) *If you noticed, I used hotlinked images for the emoticons taken from here. Hotlinking also help eliminate the comment pages from being listed under File Links, so it is easier to justify its removal. OTOH, most admins will delete it anyway so I have been relying on photobucket and imageshack to host my images, of which the "Add image" button also do not help me very much. http://images.wikia.com/templates/images/b/b2/Eusa_doh.gif
 * 5) *BTW, I do think images should be usable across wikias (without typing the entire url) and named with hash-keys as done by YouTube but that is another discussion.
 * 6) Adding video poses a similar problem. Unless you are willing to host the videos, it is better to embed the videos by hotlinking as I have done below.



Good job guys! See ya around! http://images.wikia.com/templates/images/d/df/Icon_wave.gif
