I'm not sure how that one works, but perhaps you are able to peek at the code (if it's available in plain php) and learn from it, making your own customized 'light' version.

Another hint, allthough not easy perhaps, is to look at the url on this very site when replying to a post. Perhaps it looks like this: posting.php?mode=reply&t=21170
What that gives you is that the posting.php file is used to post a reply (duh) on this board. The option is then to download phpbb, disecting the code, starting at just posting.php.

phpbb is rather tricky if not used to it's syntax and code layout, but the trick also works on other applications... ;)

Happy hunting. Let us know if you find something (free) useful.

FCKeditor is for ASP, and I can't get a result from phpBB... :(

they do it with a template only and i don't think that i can trim it from whole script..
