I'm looking for a free bbcode editor for windows with a live preview.

I tried BBCode Studio but you can't maximize the window and you can't have live preview while editing. Thanks.

Honestly, I'm just using the interface that is in the forum. But, using an editor sounds interesting and much easier...

I'll let you know if I find anything interesting.

I found these :

AHK BBCodeWriter v.7.0 - Link

Instead of using a browser as preview application he proposes to use MSHTA.exe within your windows\system32 folder. MSHTA loads much faster than any browser window. In order to use MSHTA.exe simply open Preferences via 'File' Menu and specify C:\Windows\system32\MSHTA.exe as your prefered browser.
