Ok sports fans.
Today we got a new message editor. It is basically the same as before but with updated function. You will notice a dedicated YouTube button, and no worries with that nasty hard coded HTTP:// in the input box. It has a "greyed out" http:// that goes away when you paste an URL.
Same with the image insert button.
Regrettably, the smileys had to be cut back to the default set because the google set took up the whole editor box unless you hit the green "maximize" arrows or mouse dragged the right hand corner of the box down far enough to see the text editor input box...
Working on a fix for that...
