Since the previous use of markup tags was almost idiot proof I fail to see the need to force everyone to use the new - and particularly unhelpful news editor. Whereas one could once simply use the tag [url=]text[/url] it has now been replaced with a far more complex system where in order to change one letter in a link you have to go through the excruciating process all over again.

It would be particuarly helpful if there was a guide to using this new-fangled editor, seeing as goldmine subjects such as "How To Make A Successfule Thread" are placed in the Septagon Stickies whilst I have not (so far) been able to find, either in the forum or the news, any explanation as to how I can create bulleted lists. The "Help" option displays a number of format options but few shortcuts and I can't help but wonder why so many features seem to be hidden.

Frustratedly posting, Security Officer.

Marinealver's written a guide up for Chapter Founders. Maybe he'll be as kind to post it here.

I hope everyone knows that YOU CAN still use Text mark up tags in the editor. [url= / [b / [i/ all still work. So there really is no room for complaining.

i agree, but if that tutorial on how to use it is up, we need it read it...at least 3 times.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Yeah...sometimes I have trouble with the markups...I just put them in when the whole post is submitted.

I will stand by and hold on to the only thing I know true The Assassins

Well I find that this editor makes it much easier to do the news, it's just like a word processor. I'm working on a tutorial for my help group and I'll have it done fairly soon so if anyone wants it they can message me and I'll post it in the forums as well.

I disagree. It doesn't work like a word processor. I did exactly what the doctor (Archronos) recommended, I was careful with formating, didn't break tags, blah blah blah....it still broke. Word processors don't break like that.

I know the thing had good intent, but I think Archronos should have taken a leaf out of Freewebs or maybe Moonfruit.com's editor and gotten their source code or something. Those aren't flaky, if they were, their businesses would die. Therefore, we should look to the experts in this field...instead off jumping off the deep-end and screwing us members.

Sorry Archronos, no hard feelings. lol
