Any way to disable the WYSIWYG Editor and switch to good old BB-Code Editor? / Bug with manual quoting

[Stefan Payne]

As title sugest.

Is there a way to switch to the good old "Code Editor" instead of the WYSIWYG Editor?

The Reason is that with my Browser (Opera), it is not possible to use the Quote BB Tags.

 

If I manually use [ quote=me ] it doesn't close the Quote with  [/quote]

if i'm not mistaken bbcode need you to close every opened tags.

Yes, wich is what I did but the Software didn't interpret it in that way...

I used it in the new vBulletin Way, since that's most of the other Forums I use...

[SupaKomputa]

Yes, but this is not Vbulletin.

I know but I think its still worth a Thread and the Admins to take a look at...

Forum software devs decided to not have full bbcode support. Some tags will work, I think. Like

Quote

test

 

[*quote] [/*quote] (without * ofc)

 

But only the basic ones.

BBCode still works, but it's not supported by IPS any more, so any issues can't be fixed. For quotes, adding a name is unsupported, so

[quote]
This is in a quote
[/quote]
this is not

should somewhat work:

This is in a quote

this is not

 

There's no way to have a BBCode editor I'm afraid, and the idea is what you just use the WYSIWYG.

Ah, thanks for your effort, its a shame

I have an issue with the quotes where I cannot put the cursor after the quote. I just make sure there's text after where I insert so I can move it down there. Other than that, though I'm sad to see the plain text editor go, I've made this work since the upgrade which was quite some time ago. I hate IPS4 in general but they've done a good job making the forum work well.

I've noticed same when moving quotes and parts of them around. Adding 5+ page breaks before starting to edit helps to that. Mobile is still horrible with quote-control.
