I am new to ELGG though I've got a fair amount of experience with some other CMS's so the concepts are not totally foreign to me but I wanted to build a social networking site and ELGG seemed to be a good set of tinker toys with many of the necessary tools. One of the things I'd like to know how to do is how to make ELGG use TinyMCE or CKEditor (I kind of prefer TinyMCE even though it sometimes produces ugly markups) in areas where right now it is just using text input boxes, for example the, "What's on your mind?" text input box to post on Activities. I would like to be able to do this so people can embed images and the like and so that it is more uniform in terms of the user experience.
