Hey Everyone,
We're running a MT 4.25 forum and wondering if it was possible to port some of the functionality available in the MTE > Write Entry page to the "Start Topic" page. Specifically we would like users to be able to use the tagging feature (and it would be really nice for the advanced editor too). Is this possible through the template system, copy/pasting the Write Entry Code, or not possible at all?
Thanks in advance!

At this point, you would probably want to submit a formal feature request. Go to the feedback section of movabletype.org to make one. That said, if you want a rich text editor for the comments section, check out TinyMCE. I use it on my blog, and it takes only a few lines of JavaScript to add it to your individual archives.
Brian,
Another option is to stick in the YUI editor in the forum, I've done it and it's pretty easy!

I'm writing it all up, so that will be available soon if you want a tutorial.
Also, look at the motion templates for an example of using tags in the front end.
