On some of the fields you can enter default values. Having the option to set that to auto clear when you click on the field would be helpful so someone entering new text doesn't have to erase the default text.

Auto clear default values

This is on our list of future features and is something we plan on adding in a future release.

Carl, is this now included in the current release?

Clearing default values isn't included in the current release. It's still on the feature list.
For now, it's pretty simple to pull off with some jQuery.

Cool. Just checking in. Thanks again, Kevin.

No problem. We still have a list of goodies to add so keep your eyes peeled, we'll get them out as quickly as we can.
We've chained Alex, our programmer, to the desk and he's been working on the new calculating fields and PayPal goodness. Once that's out the door, some of these other items will get checked off the list.

I'd pay extra for a "developer plugin" where I had access to the raw fields/forms somehow. These function.php and jQuery hacks are nice, but don't /always/ cut it.

We do plan on offering some more advanced formatting options down the line - most likely as an add-on.
Still, I wouldn't call the filters and hooks added to the functions.php file hacks, they're built-in functions, just aren't something we felt needed to be added to the main user interface.

Hopefully you didn't take offense to the "hacks" term. I use it loosely.

Nah, no offense. I understood your point but wanted to clarify a bit. Thanks.
