This forum's message editor

[bernorange 8377]

Is there any setting in the admin CP to allow members an option on the message editor / interface?  The existing editor does not allow us control over the "bbcode" (formatting) by merely typing.  I prefer to just type the message rater than have to move the hand from the keyboard to click icons and fight the editor when it gets things wrong.

Just type the bbcode tags and you're good. 

for instance the above uses [b]Does this work[/b] or [i]does it not[/i]?

[bernorange 8377]

Well, maybe.  The end quote tag did not end the quote section when I tried it earlier and then when I tried to edit the message, it was impossible to fix.

Less than a day in and already bitching.  Because he doesn’t want to take his hands off the keyboard.  That’s too many clicks.

Nothing wrong with somebody having priorities.

Hmm... Maybe I just fucked up the first time.

FWIW, the existing editor does not let you split up a quote into multiple segments using bbcode.  It's awkward if you want to address several points separately.

Also, the bbcode quote is FUBAR when you also post a link.  It's like the end quote block doesn't exist/work and the entire post ends up in the quote block.

I still vote for an option to use a basic editor where we have more control with the bbcode if such a thing is possible.

Get a ThinkPad with a trackpoint, God’s chosen keyboard. You won’t have to lift your hands from the keyboard.
