New Posting Text Editor - Now Live for everyone!

Scroll to see replies

Original post by Aula
Clicking the quick reply button (little white square with a pen writing on it) used to automatically quote that post. Now I have to click the multi quote button.

For me the multi quote thing isn't even working now, it just quotes in one post? How strange!

edit: Yep the quick reply isn't doing its job quoting in another user...

It's the new quote/tagging thing that was recently discussed about in the TSR news/help/feedback section of the site. I'll see if I can dig up the thread.

edit: here we go:

Hi everyone,After some rigorous testing, our new version of the posting text editor (the very box you use to type posts) is now live for everyone :smile:It includes the new Tagging, @ quoting and f: forum linking functionality.

•

Tagging is done using the little tag icon, you just start typing their name (no need or an @ symbol)

•

Type @ followed by usernames to directly tag someone in a post

•

Type f: followed by forum names to select a forum and create a link to it instantly

•

Add images on mobile

•

Get more smilies on mobile

As well as being slicker, much faster - especially on mobile. It also makes the advanced options easily accessible on any page.Enjoy, and please let us know if you notice any bugs or issues :smile:Happy days.Jack

This has made using the site borderline unusable on my phone. Since it was brought in every page loads slower and jumps around hugely.

Writing any long post is a nightmare - typing lags for longer and longer. I'm not a fast typer but I often type 3/4 words and then have to wait while they gradually appear.

Thanks PQ, we've noticed similar problems and we are going to investigate it today to understand what is going on to fix it. Will keep you and everyone updated.

You just type f: and then the section and choose from the drop down list
Oxford Colleges for instance, or Technology and computers
D&CA, Comunity ect. Don't work though.

Just had a look and although AAM, AASL, AACT won't work, Forum Games does work! :smile:

Thank you! x

I'm about to rage quit with this. Earlier, I was in the process of drafting the mother of all replies to She-Ra in that "we're getting rid of the mods" thread, I pressed submit and it spagged out, didn't go through and thought, ffs, but it's ok, it'll have saved the post, so I pressed back and then forward to the reply - not there.

What's the ****ing point.

I've had a LOT of problems with it too, from it not inserting images to it saying it's sending my post and then nothing appears in the thread. :rolleyes:
Nearly gave up trying to make a short post from my phone yesterday after "something went wrong" for the third time.
@Captain Jack


Will sections (ie. Study Help) or any like that ever be added, even if that were done by using:

[noparse]s:s-smilie:tudy Help[/noparse]

Especially for the Welcome Squad, this would be extremely helpful...

Just wandering if any plans to do this at all?

Hiya
Yes, good suggestion. It won't happen immediately but it would be good to have these I agree.
