Introducing Editor v2: Enhance your Message Editing & Posting experience

[alan@ebay]

Editor v2 takes a big step forward in providing community users with a modern message editing experience. Read on to learn about all the message editor improvements.

Drag and drop images, videos, and attachments

With Editor v2, you can drag and drop images, videos, and file attachments directly to the message editing pane or as attachments to the post. 

 

 

In-line image editing

To reposition, re-size (small, medium, large) and insert a hyperlink for an image, you need only click on the image and choose the appropriate option inline.

 

Improved emoji support

Emojis are a powerful medium for expressing one’s thoughts and emotions. An emoji such as “👍” can be used to replace the text - “All the Best!” or “Best of Luck!” or “Well Done!”.

Editor v2 brings you the Unicode standard set of 2500+ emojis divided across 8 categories. Emojis are supported across both Apple and Windows devices.

 

Inline link editing

When you click on a link or use the arrow keys to move the cursor over a link in your post, the inline link pop-up menu displays:

From the inline link pop-up menu, you can click:

• Edit Link: Opens the link editing window where you can change the existing link.
• Unlink: Removes the link associated with this text.
• Bare URL: Displays the actual URL of the link instead of the website title. (If the Bare URL is active, this button is disabled and greyed out.)
• Auto Title: Displays the title of the linked webpage for the link text. (If the Auto Title is active, this button is disabled and greyed out.)
• Open Link: Opens the linked URL in a new browser tab.

 

Toolbar button optimization and consistency

We made several improvements to the message editing toolbar to optimize it and make it more consistent:

Toolbars across all discussion styles are now consistent and have the same controls. Moreover, the toolbars include many more options that cater to all messaging scenarios.

We hope you enjoy using these new features!

If you are on a mobile device, there are some issues with some of the functions not being there.

Hi @golfingaddict,

@mam98031 is correct. mams screenshot shows the placement of the quote button on the new editor.

Please elaborate and tell me more so I can investigate. Are you on desktop/mobile, what browser you're using etc? All these things would be great to know.

Thanks.

alan@ebay I can see the quote button  (started when you enhanced the boards)

It does not work.

And the emojis don't work  (never tried before)

and I get logged out  (really bad today but has happened before.. just not as often)

and I get this giant red bar telling me that I am not authorized  (again, horrible today)

It's not the end of the world

Must be my problem 

[buyselljack2016]

It took me over 3 days to find the expanded tool bar so that I have a color choice : > )

Hi @golfingaddict,

It'd be wonderful if you could share more info. "It does not work" doesn't give me much to go on.

We're aware of the authentication issue. We're working to resolve that asap.

Thanks.

Yup, I see them. 

[golfingaddict]

I have an iPhone and ipad

alan@ebay 

up to date. 
On the iPhone I don’t see the same things as my laptop with my browser. Microsoft browser. 

maybe eBay made the updates for only some users. Or we need to get different computers or browsers 

[golfingaddict]

I just won't use them and I won't quote anybody and I'll keep logging in.

All good

It must be me.
