Features missing from the edit text box compared to the previous version of Linustechtips

[Tech_Dreamer]

dedicated remove source formatting button

Preview thread post button

bb code view

 

[Enderman]

there is a remove formatting button.........

its right beside the "size" box

[iamdarkyoshi]

Its there, between the smiley thing and the size box. It looks like this: T_x

The editor is now WYSIWYG, so you are already previewing it

Its edited as rich text now, not BBCode. The majority of the mods/admins and I would all like a BBCode editor, but it's not going to happen.

As said above, Preview is pointless. Unless you can name realistic use for it, its not coming back. BBCode/codetags view would be good for some formatting fixing things. But since posts aren't in BBcode anymore, you can't view them as such. And editing them in HTML would breed more problems than it would solve.

Out of curiosity, I have seen complaints from some users that the formatting some people apply look horrible or is unreadable when using the Dark Mode / Night Mode for forum reading. Is there or could there be a way to preview a post to make sure it looks good in both viewing modes?

the code tags are also super fucked

Don't think so. If you paste from external site or anything at all, you should use Remove formatting popup link. That would remove any background and font color withing pasted content. In all, any darker text color is bad for Night theme. People using white bg and black text is acceptable.

Using the BBcode? They aren't supported at all. So you can't really use them.

[tobben]

Use Ctrl+shift+V, this will automatically paste unformatted text, so you

can rest easy knowing you won't bug night theme users like me  

 

bbcode isn't there because it isn't really properly supported anymore,

the preview doesn't exist because, with lack of bbcode. The new editor

is supposed to show the post exactly as it will appear when posted.

you can put the code tag, but it changes it to the new code thing and it doesn't put the text inside

Not when the PC you would have to otherwise use has a keylogger on it and other spying programs... Why do you think I have a ubuntu flash drive with me at school every day?

IPS 4 no longer supports BB code so unfortunately no bb code view, very annoying.

let me correct myself: it supports it technically, but it's broken, and that's not how it's stored any longer as far as I'm aware. 

 

I remember it being basically non-existent and fucked when I messed with the initial version of IPS 4.
