I just added a "MS Word" style editor so that formatting your posts isn't such a pain in the rear.

 

Here is how to enable it:

 

Step 1:

Navigate to your UserCP

 

Step 2:

Go to the options tab

 

Step 3:

Scroll down and click "Yes" to enable the editor

 

Step 4:

Submit Modifications to accept that blike rules

 

I will add this to the 'quick reply' box later today. If you can't get it to work properly, PM me and I'll try and help you out.

Here is a screenshot:

 

 

I like the wysiwig-ishness but not the link and quote options aren't as as useful.

They still work as far as I can see, what do you mean they're not as useful?

double posting is the work of the devil

 

I refuse to ever click "submit modifications" again

 

nice pictures though

This WYSIWYG is very cool. I like this a lot (even though I don't like or use MS Word *spits*). I have always used WordPerfect, and will continue to do so until they hire a Psych. Dept. IT tech big enough to make me remove it from my office computer (not likely in the forseeable future).

What the hell? All the wysiwyg formatting I did in the previous post disappeared as soon as I posted the post. Dagnabbit!

Rats! What's the point o' that then? It all looks exactly the same.

• something must be broke then, testing 1 2 3
  

hrm, worked for me. try it again, what exactly did u do

           test

 

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I'm in exams now. Just finished one which was actually pretty nasty, the person sitting next to me started crying half way through. I wasn't  bitching, just there doesn't appear to be a quote button in the word box.

oh i see. if you want to quote posts, simply check them before hitting reply.

Aha...they were in fact, three consecutive tests.

 

The wysiwyg  system seems to allow me to add font characteristics (bold, underline, italics), But not colour...ah...er...ok, It lets me add colour, but yesterday, it would not keep the font itself (I chose times new roman as I prefer serif fonts).  We'll see what happens today.

Ok, it seems to do everything now, even accept a new font (the word 'three' in the above post is courier new), but not times new roman, in which both posts were written. Any ideas why?

hrm. it seems because times new roman is the default "text" font, it doesn't add any tags to it. hold on, i'll fix.

that's a BS way of saying "yes I did"

Oi!

 

The wysiwyg only works with the Orbitz style set.

 

Not only does it not appear in the user CP, it is disabled when I switch back to Photon!

 

Oh yah, and the attachment icon that appears in the thread browse areas is messed up in Photon.

 

 

 

Edit - And whoever designed Orbits must have a 1900x1600 resolution. >_<

 

 

 

Edit again - What is going on with the less than and greater than signs?

 

Look < >

< > ?

wierd... >_<

 

 

 

edit... you did that in the quick response... this is the editor....>_<

screw that hippy editor, I have fingers of light

(i. e. I don't need an editor, because the time it would take my computer to load the thing is longer than it actually takes me to type anything I want out)

Well, yes it is, but let's not shout about it, as I seem to have got away with it
