Forums Feature Suggestions (optional) text in the edit box

Couple notes.

Your suggestion is great and is an obvious improvement upon the original, too simple, suggestion.
But what you proposed syntactically speaking doesn't work: if you want an optional text for the editbox then you wouldn't be filling AND a ghost text AND the original field for the editbox's text.

The new beta only implements a default (optional) text, which, practically speaking, is quickly limiting, a better implementation which doesn't break the current syntax would be

With the optional option and empty value for the text, it would then show the default (optional) as an optional/ghost text.

Whereas this would then show the custom optional/ghost text "custom"

And we do need a /did switch to get that behavior.




It would also be nice to have an option to get a default value, so basically a text that is selected, which, when in focus, would automatically overwrite itself.
This can't be scripted.
