Mixed thoughts about the new forums writing text box thingy... - nOmnomnOm - 11-28-2014
So basically its now operating like... microsoft word or other e-mail programs...
Which is fine and all...
But.
but but but
The reason I liked the other older version better was that it was more compact and the codes were there so that it was more... i dont know... for me it was not confusing.
Now if i want to compose a message... it is perfectly fine for text but when i want to add pictures the system just inserts the picture and doesn't show me the formatting code anymore. Which is a bit annoying....
It is not the biggest problem but it still is ... just annoying to say the least that a picture would be taking up the whole window of room instead of just the code.
The preview button is there for a reason.
Maybe it is just taste.
Edit: Also i cant scroll down anymore in it on my phone! D:

You can technically switch to source mode (the last icon), but I agree is a lot less useful than the one we used before. Wysiwyg editors are good, but not for this forum, where people put incredible amounts of formatting into their posts (see transmissions).

The only thing annoying me with text thingie (I don't need buttons for codes, since I remember most of them), it blinds you, because this is simple word processor.

Another thing is that colors dont work on it...
I DID manage to find the code button to have only code though! That helped A LOT...
