[UCIMC-Tech] F-ed Up WYSIWYG Editor

[Josh King]

Well, the teasers are slowly rebuilding, hopefully to a suitable size, 
and things are updated and I think I've fixed the pagebreak problem 
(stories like the ones you mentioned will have to be re-saved before the 
fix will show up). Before I can get any further with updates I still 
need to fix the image handling which still baffles me after a few hours 
of working on it, I'll continue working on that tomorrow.
