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!

I’m trying but Its not letting me upload edited photos. It sees edited photos as .jpeg instead of .jpg and is giving me an error message that I can’t upload .jpeg. Good grief. Its an automatic setting on my iPad. This is insane. As soon as I can figure out how to upload edited photos from my iPad here, I’ll do it. Ugh.

[krys888]

I’ve tried to resave the screenshots as .jpg but my iPad keeps saving it as .jpeg and ebay doesn’t let us upload .jpeg and I am too non-technical to know what to do. I’m at a complete standstill. Laughing and crying at same time. I should be used to ebay frustrations by now. But I’m not...

@krys888   If you can get your pics on to a laptop or computer and open them in Paint you can then save them as a .jpg ... I also believe .png will upload to eBay too if memory serves ...

[krys888]

Okay, hopefully this works this time and you can see the difference in these two.

Here’s another. They’re awful! See how the jacket goes from pink to a drab corral? Looks like its been left in a window and faded. Reduces the value considerably.

[krys888]

As you can see in the two examples I uploaded, the reds & pinks go drab orange. I’m looking now in my photos and yesterday’s new listings to find an example of what it does to blue! Omg! It goes gray! If you look in the tools & apps forum you can see the other seller’s examples; his are copper that are washed out; they put photo examples. 

[mr_lincoln]

@krys888   Yes, the colors are definitely muted ...

[krys888]

There seems to be some interest on our post in tools & apps; at least someone who seems knowledgeable is engaged with us on it. Fingers crossed that this gets fixed. Its the weekend and I should be listing, not waiting on yet another ebay problem to get fixed. LOL. Trying to stay positive.

The blues aren't typically around on the weekends.

Well that is likely to help her a lot.

As a retired big band blues singer, I have to say, that one made my day! Can’t stop laughing! Love it! And thank you; I needed the positive! LOL! Love it!

@krys888   Good to know someone is working with you on another thread ... I use a digital camera with a chip and batteries.  I know when I change batteries certain settings default to ones I don't use so I have to reset them.  I also have several places that I do my photo shoots so I have to change the type of lighting being used so the pictures turn out correctly.  I don't use my smart phone for pics but I DO know that sometimes I get updates that mess up different settings on the phone and some of those just might be for the camera as well ...

You sound savvy enough that you have already checked and  double checked your camera settings to make sure they have not be inadvertently changed without your knowledge?!?

[krys888]

Yes, to the best of my knowledge so far anyway. I’m just doing process of elimination, so every suggestion of “did you try this” (including humor) could spark another step forward to finding the root of the problem and subsequent solution. Since another seller (who uses photoshop) is also experiencing the problem, I’m more focused on the ebay side of it, but also, yes, am searching apple for any notifications too. Its all appreciated!
