Try the WYSIWYG editor for the smilie list.
User CP works fine for me to get to my messages.
Multiquote is used to quote several different people with one post, so you don't get people like me who like to attribute each quote to the right person doing a spamming of posts. You clock multi-quote for each person you want to quote.

On top of that, you can subscribe to a whole forum. That forum would also show up in your User CP. Treat User CP as your little forum front page! It has everything you need, so you really don't have to ever leave it and skim through a jungle of posts to find the ones you are interested in.

Alternatively, find a post of your own, click on your name right above your avatar, and a menu pops up! Fancy!

That's the most important part - it gives you smilies, colors, fonts and other text tools.

I see I'm not the only one who has some "start up" issues with these new forums. I can only hope that after we get used to it we can laugh about it.

Type what you want. Highlight the word to be linked, and then click the "Insert Link" button. It'll turn the highlighted word/phrase into a link.

All of your suggestions for the WYSIWYG editor work in the standard editor, as well. It's only the basic editor that's crap. Why it's the default I have no idea.

Now I'm -really- wondering why they're calling it "WYSIWYG"...
Because the standard editor doesn't show you the result (you see example, rather than example), it just gives you the same behavior with the buttons.
WYSIWYG shows you... probably... what the post is going to look like without hitting Preview. What You See Is What You (might) Get

I know that. Which is why I'm wondering why it's called WYSIWYG. Because it's nothing close to what the post is going to look like without hitting the preview button. xD|

A WYSIWYG environment is something like, say Microsoft Word. Or an HTML editing software like Dreamweaver. Or an actual WYSIWYG forum plugins that are out there, and some of them are really nice. My VG forum has 'em.
But the one CoH has, really doesn't fall under WYSIWYG's definition...
