TESTING - New WYSIWYG Post Editor

Post by tig »

I am running a test of a potential new MyE28 Post Editor. It may or may not work well. GIve it a try. If it works well and people like it we'll leave it enabled. Otherwise we'll keep working.

Note: You can't use the editor to direclty enter Image Links (img tag).
  1. Lists
  2. Work
  3. As
  4. Expected
    1. Even indented.
    2. Like this
And, of course, bullets:
  • Bang
    • Banger
  • Bang
YouTube vids work inline!
:cry:

Whoa.
A horizontal separator line is above this sentence.

Below is a table:
CarSpeed
525Slow
535Faster
IMAGES ARE WORKING!!! (Just don't drag & drop yet).

like this:

This is a test.
This is a centered test.
This is a right-aligned test.

Image linking is now working. Use the Image button:

What is NOT working is dragging & dropping an image.

Any feedback?

How are people finding the new editor experience?

Weird.  After all these years I've gotten pretty comfortable with the bracketing, especially where interjecting a bunch of different comments after a block of text, like answer one question, then the quoted text, then answer the next.  I've done that half a dozen times in a single post before.  I'm not sure how to do that now, although I haven't really looked.

I'm so used to it I'll use it on other sites where it doesn't show that formatting working, but it does.

When working with a quoted post, I've had it add extra line breaks and justify code. Also more than once, after hitting preview, the post appears correct up above, but everything I had written was gone in the WYSIWYG editing box.

If you really hate the new WYSIWYG editor, I've just implemented a feature that lets you turn it off.

Got to your User Control Panel (UCP): ucp.php?i=ucp_profile&mode=profile_info

And check the checkbox, then hit Submit:

For now, I ask you to NOT DO THIS. Continue to use it and provide feedback. Thanks.

Hi!
I'm so used to it I'll use it on other sites where it doesn't show that formatting working, but it does.

 
Here's how to do it:

Note the Smilies toolbar button now inserts Emojies not the old smilies.



Smilies: 💩?
Emojis: 👍?


Is this an upgrade or downgrade?
