Forums - Website Topics - New Text Editor - Update

While I appreciate what you're doing with giving supporters a perk here, you have to consider what you are doing in keeping a fix to a text entry from mobile users, especially given the bizarre text entry bug with auto correct that a number of users are talking about. I'm not sure if this update would fix that in any way but right now when that bug kicks in on this sites mobile version it makes it pretty much impossible to post, one of my recent posts mostly survived but did get some crazy accent in over an A that made me chuckle since I've no idea where it could come from being that my language doesn't use those accents, so bad prediction there lol.

I'm just saying, text entry being up to date (not using 2008) isn't a great idea imo on a forum based mostly.... on text entry! Perhaps at least consider a faster rollout of the mobile version of this if any of the supporters / beta testers had previously encountered the android text entry bug but have seen its hampering nature reduced using this new software.

Ah you just have to think of the supporters being guinea pigs, rather than thinking something's being kept from you, that way you can reflect on how those brave souls are protecting you from the machinations of the Dread Talon.

This change to the text editor has completely eliminated the problems I had typing on my phone in the forums here. That, along with the fix to comment formatting on articles, has eliminated my main complaints about site performance on Android. So, thanks for making the changes, Talon. Good work!



Drake's new single Tal's Plan releasing tonight. Keep it up.



good to be a supporter



Hey!
Is there a way to paste bitmap images that I've copied from Excel? That's what I used to do before the update but it doesn't work anymore.

No - that's intentionally disabled. Needed to enforce image sizing in posts, and didn't have a good way to do it with copy/paste. It will likely return, some day...

But then how do I efficiently copy Excel content? I've been doing it daily for over 6 years now in the COMG thread :(

I'll need some time to get used to the new possibilities.

Let me do a test for my news template on the PC thread.

An Intro

SALES & DEALS

Steam's top 10 (when they post it)

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. etc.

SOME NEWS
link to the article
The article itself
>> A note or something else, followed by a blank space.

Some deals about a store or site:

  • Deal 1
  • Deal 2
  • Rare chance of making a sub list on a list
    • good try

MORE STUFF

Looks like I'll need to make some adjustments to my template. The italics don't work as they did.

I'm interested in seeing the mobile option, as that's how I view most of my time on the internet anyways these days.

I really like this feature. You can edit and reply easier now. And the buttons are easier to press.
