As you may have noticed, there is a new editor, TinyMCE, for posting messages to the forum.
This should be a big improvement over the old one. If you’re not seeing anything new, then use CTRL+R or the F5 key to force your browser to refresh it’s cache.
Currently I have the buttons for emoticons (smileys) and images disabled as I need to make some adjustments to them. I hope to have them enabled soon.
Well, it’s different. I like some, don’t like change, until I’m used to it. This seems to work faster. FYI I am using Firefox. Before, it would take about 10-20 seconds before I could type a post.
Be glad to see the emoticons return, too. Keep up the good work, David.
Gee, when I saw this topic heading I thought you meant a new Editor like the new associate Editors, and thought “boy is he going to take a ribbing with a nickname like TinyMCE…”
I like how the font size now shows the corresponding point size. Miss the emoticons, but I remember how to do most of them with simple text!
Like the previous one, you also have to highlight the text you want to use as a link. When you don’t have any text highlighted, you should still see the button but it will appear “faded”.
It’s actually using
paragraph tags for spacing. You can use SHIFT+Enter to start a new line w/o the paragraph.
Now you didn’t think just because we have an HTML button that you could use whatever HTML you wanted to. [;)]
In the forum config, there’s a list of designated html elements and attributes that users are allowed to include within their posts. The border attribute wasn’t in that list. It is now.
Dave… If I try to use the link buttopn it say a pop-up blocling id stoppingthe funtionality and to trun off the blocker for this site. How in heck do I do that?
hi dave-- as far as the new editor goes, honestly, it seems fine ,but so did the old one-- i am on a ‘high speed’ cable link (or so i’m told–lol) and have not experienced some of the lag that some of the other folks mentioned— i do have a problem though— since i had to to a system recovery on my computer, i have had problems with post responces being forwarded to me-- Amanda Bothe helped me out and it worked for a day or so – not working any more:(–you helped me once before-- my personal files were all screwed up-- totally my fault---- any chance you or Amanda could dig through my user files and find what is wrong?-- I am sorry to be a pain in the butt-- i can’t seem to fix it on my end---- sorry i got off topic-- i am just a little frustrated-- thanks for a great forum and any help you can give:)— treadwell-- tgcricu@yahoo.com
This new format is for the birds ! What was wrong with the old system? Its getting more irritating . Can you pull the plug on this thing and go back to the old . I have a dial up service and know its slower than before the switch . AARRRGGHH!!!
