Major Update-me-do

I'm still missing the standard text/HTML input option.

I hate single enter for a new paragraph! I always end up with double-spacing everywhere due to just hitting Enter twice without looking. :(

There is no standard text / HTML option any more. There is a button to view the HTML source of the editor but you still post entirely in HTML.

Is it just the enter key thing you're not liking?

Ummm, what else is there? I'm used to entering twice (nj) for new paragraph. This does it differently. And it would make sense getting used to, except every other forum that I frequent still does it the old way.

There's also other stuff about the editor that I'm not loving. Just now I used a spoiler tag and it covers the text even in the editor, so you can't edit it.

Not to mention the retarded spell-check (but we've covered that already).

Is there a good reason for using this crap over TinyMCE?

And this might be a Safari problem (only just noticed) but when you select text to add a link, click the link icon and paste, the link gets added to the text box because the focus doesn't change to the dialogue. You have to select the dialogue entry again. Eeef!

I'll have a look at the paragraphs thing.

 

I dumped TinyMCE for this crap because this is better and easier to develop for (IMO of course) and more functional.

 

Not sure about the hyperlink thing.

Is there a way to just... turn it off for individual users? I'd rather just default to HTML.

Nope. :Y

 

Why would you want to turn it off?

This is a testy test in IE8. OK, when you bring up the link box in IE8 nothing gets focus, so you have to select the input dialogue, but you cannot select the text area (so links cannot be placed erroneously). I will double-check in Safari (if I remember) to see how/if the problem can be reproduced.

The paragraph formatting looks different in Lite/Mobile mode. There's no gaps between paragraphs. CSS change needed?

That thing I was saying about HTML <em>not working</em> in the quick reply box? Well, it's <b>not working</b>.

Is it not

Hmm, then <i>why</i> isn't it working here? (chrome 23 on mac)

Trying it in <b>Safari</b>.

And in Firefox, where I notice the quick reply box is quite a bit bigger.

The quick reply box for me no longer has the formatting tools. (Did Matt go back to an old version?) Do you need to clear your cache or something?

Well that's interesting. HTML in the quick reply box works in Firefox on OS X, but not Safari or Chrome.

Toolbar is there for me on QuickReply. You only get Bold, Italic and Underline though.
