Shadow82x Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Can we please have the option to switch from rich text to the regular editor directly on the post screen again? Sometimes the Rich Text editor screws up the post code, and you wish to edit the bbc manually. (For example I have had instances where I unbolded in the richtext editor, and it wouldn't actually unbold when you submit it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy T Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 We would like to add that back in at some point, but I don't know when that will happen. Oh that will be good, I also like this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CallieJo Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Please count my vote for this as well. I really miss this, too. I used it all the time in another forum script. Makes me crazy not to have it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aisha Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 What would you rather it do?Keep the formatting options but display it as tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunzeal Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 oh, i thought that the problem related to formatting was fixed in this latest release of IPB :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz_ccmfc Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 What would you rather it do? I would rather have the functionality of the 3.1.x versions, where you have the toolbar options, but instead of making html when you choose an option it puts bbcode into the reply box... I hate wysiwyg editors... tinymce... ckeditor... whatever... they all do the same thing, when you paste any text in they pick up the formatting and stuff goes all over the place.

Mellisa Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 i vote for this as well, please add an option to switch, do not just bail us all to just move forward into your own vision of forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgf100 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I can see why IPB have done this, but it's a pain in the neck from my end - hopefully it's one of the things members will stop complaining about, rather than one of the ones they'll keep going on about. Edit: Hang on, so you get bbcode for quote and code, but not for bold and links. I'm not looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellisa Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 this is messed up, look at vb, they allowed users to toggle between WYSIWYG and old style editor. IPB wanted to be different like always and forced members to WYSIWYG only.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorhawke Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 That removes ALL formatting options... Not for me.... For example, if I type something in bold on the Rich Text editor, and hit the switch on the top-left, the bold tags are preserved, and if I hit the switch again, it goes back to being displayed as bold. The same is true for all other tags. So at least on my end, IPB 3.2 seems to be working perfectly fine switching between a Rich Text and Regular Editor. Perhaps it's an issue with your particular browser? Edit: Talk about someone bumping an old thread and not finding the right button on the editor.

rgf100 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 For example, if I type something in bold on the Rich Text editor, and hit the switch on the top-left, the bold tags are preserved, and if I hit the switch again, it goes back to being displayed as bold. The same is true for all other tags. That's not what he's saying - the problem is that all the buttons are disabled. If someone wants to add, say, italics, but they don't know what the tags is, they can't hit a button to have it inserted. To be fair, I was expecting uproar from my members about the RTE, but they've actually not mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I was expecting uproar from my members about the RTE, but they've actually not mentioned it. The objection about RTE that I was responding to was the preserved formatting when pasting text. All you have to do is turn off RTE, paste, then turn RTE back on to get access to the rest of the features again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a step backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
