Introducing Editor v2: Enhance your Message Editing & Posting experience

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:clipboard_image_0.jpeg

 

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!

Those aren't working for me, either. But I can't say for how long; I'm pretty sure that I have never clicked on any of them.

Viewing a posted Spoiler tag does not function in Firefox. Others report that it opens in Chrome.  In Firefox, the # link resorts to the default function of jumping to top of page.

 

The workaround for reading hidden spoilers is to quote the post in a response, which will reveal the spoiler content during editing (due to embedded noscript tags).

 

Another workaround is to force-reload the page when the # appears at the end of the URL. That somehow makes the Spoilers functional.

 

Spoiler
This is a sample spoiler that may or may not open, depending on browser.
