An enhanced editor

RarelyCharlie January 9th, 2019

Here are instructions for enhancing the editor we use in forums and feeds: How to: Enhance the editor

This was announced before, but I'm repeating it here because it came up again in connection with creating tables in forum posts.

At present this solution is experimental, and I know some things don't work. Please use this thread or PM me to report issues, even though I can't guarantee I'll be able to fix them all.

im so excited about this the current editor is so basic its frustrating i think more than anything thats needed is more emoticons when people only use text to communicate misunderstandings can so easily happen without visual feedback of emotional context for the comment

@RarelyCharlie

your easyfork script that you made we add that in profile settings ?

If Tampermonkey is installed and running you just go to the script's page 7 Cups - Forum inline editor and click the dark green button, "Install this script". Then on the next page click Install and you're done.

If that's not what you're seeing, then maybe Tampermonkey isn't running. I'm not sure. Closing your browser and restarting it might fix it.

@RarelyCharlie - I have been dying for bullet points for ages! I'll be installing when I get a minute free. Thanks!

RarelyCharlie OP January 10th, 2019

I've just uploaded version 0.5 with more (120, to be precise) smileys. You can go back to the script's page 7 Cups - Forum inline editor and press the green button again to upgrade.

@RarelyCharlie

This is incredible! And because of the new ability to use bullet lists (which I have wanted for literally 3.5 years!), here are my favorite things:

  • BULLET LISTS OMG I LOVE IT!!!
  • Scrolling up and down in the thread so I can reference other posts (I can see from @JennySunrise8 that there are 120 new emoticons AND I can confirm I'm tagging her correctly - no more copying my text to x out and come back once I check!)
  • New emoticons because I've never mastered finding my own like our teens have! Smiling with heart-eyes
  • Probably lots of other things that I have yet to fully figure out!!!

Thank you for this!!! Smiling with smiling eyes

Ooh

Okay, I'm done, this was fun Winking with tongue

@RarelyCharlie, when testing we noticed w can't edit a table after posting. Is there a way to add this to the script?

RarelyCharlie OP January 15th, 2019

Oh no, that's bad news Frowning It's not simply a separate feature that needs to be added, and I can't immediately think of a reason for it not to work. Unfortunately I'm not able to edit posts in the forums, so I'm not able to test it directly.

What happens when you try to edit a table? Does the table disappear, or is it that your changes are not saved?

@RarelyCharlie @SoulfullyAButterfly

It completely removes the table.

Ah, OK, I have an idea about this now. I'll look into it some more.
