Description
if yes, then I will install one. I think it would make the task of editing pages easier (pictures/screenshots, bulleted lists, bold and underline) but on the other hand: it might also become tempting to make the page layout too noisy.
Or I could just go ahead and install one, and then un-install it if it doesn't work out

I added the option for
I added the option for turning it off, and for users to turn it off by default if they want.
I like the "Filtered HTML" input option, and the choice to switch to others, and I found that using rich text on something that I had previously entered as "filtered html" actually messed up my text.
filtered HTML is good, but
All postings that were created before yesterday are "filtered HTML" and that is good because it is safe.
The input type for new posts is, by default, "rich-text editiing" which means basically unfiltered, similar to "full HTML", so people could add advertising banners, popups, div tags that open but don't close so they mess up the entire page framwork, etc.
If you use input-type "rich-text editing" with the TineMCE editor, there is not much danger because the editor is not too rich. But if youdisable the editor, you get all the powers of unfiltered HTML.
The editor doesn't work well with old posts (input format = Filtered HTML) because the editor adds tags that get filtered out - so you have to change the input format. I should have wrote an instruction about that, sorry

I am working on it. The TinyMCE editor is now installed and works by default on almost every TEXTAREA element. That includes the forum messages. I will now try to tweak it, so the forum messages are less rich.

I give up on trying to make forum posts less rich, because I don't know how to recognize if you are editing a forum topic: they all look like nodes or comments to me!
Installed the modules "image" and "img_assist" too, so it is easier to put an image (screenshot for example) in a post. This can be important when you want to write manuals of user documentation.

Isn't it nice?
The link "disable rich-text" has to be removed (later) because we don't want regular people to write full HTML
