Once can check “Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies”, yes.
However, the problem is such editor confuses people.
(I don’t suppose majority of my audience recognise, not to mention knowing how to use HTML)

1) “Visual” and “HTML” what the heck?
2) They don’t intuitively know that they need to switch to the “HTML” editor to insert images.

The editor used here is not fantastic but it is much better than the default WordPress one, for forums.

This editor used on bbPress.org is essentially the same as the one that will appear by default. The only difference is the tabs have been changed into textual links and added to the toolbar.

I agree that an interface to hotlink (or upload) images would be a welcome addition. There are some good plugins that will give you this functionality, including bbPress Post Toolbar and GD bbPress Attachments.

The editor here is the basic WordPress editor with some CSS tweaks; something anyone with a spare hour should be able to put together.

Apologies that I sounded impatient and impolite.

I will do the CSS (and JavaScript?) tweaks myself.

Thanks!
