A user submits a link and the description is in plain text, I edit the link with a WYSIWYG editor, then the link owner once again edits the link. When they submit the edit, all of the HTML formatting becomes visible in the link description.
I have removed plain text editing all together now leaving just the WYSIWYG editor, and no option for the link owner to switch back, could this be the cause of the problem? Does it think they are submitting in plain text when they are actually using the WYSIWYG?
There could be a problem if you removed the plain text from the template while the member's setting is still at plain text -- the WYSIWYG would produce garbage in that case. It should automatically switch them to the WYSIWYG editor when there's HTML in it though, when the can use html usergroup permission is off. Testing now...
I'm sure I remember implementing such a function, yet it's not there in the code. Well, I'm doing it now... it'll automatically switch them to WYSI when the usergroup permission doesn't allow html and the content contains html already. Applied to categories and comments editing too, for 5.1.51 and 6.0.1.

Here's my problem...
