It would be nice if there was TinyMCE or something similar integrated, so that people could make more advanced looking posts.

Also, this means you could "paste" contents in and not loose the formatting!

2.0 already has a WYSIWYG editor, and you can test it here.
No WYSIWYG editor will be as advanced as normal BBCodes though!

Well the WYSIWYG editor used "here" isn't advanced at all... what i'm talking about is being able to copy a line of bold text for example, and when you paste it in here, it remains bold...

basically, being able to retain formatting etc would be nice :)

Like the Text Editor used in vBulletin for example:


This allows you to paste etc retaining tables, formatting etc

i like that is a nice feature

You can... (though it's buggy)

for example:

The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
      The message body was left empty.

I dont understand. Did you paste that in? Because any formatted text that I paste in simple appears standard, plain text as if I had typed it in....

Yea I did. Here's a screenshot...

But yeah, it's not perfect. Only some text worked properly like that.

I see. Well, hopefully it will be more useable when 2.0 is cm / public release :)

cant beleive no one has made a TinyMCE / vBulletin post mod for SMF....

i can understand ppl saying "it's not perfect", but not simply clone the vBulletin version for SMF?
i've tried the wysiwig editor for SMF v2.... and it's pretty useless, to be honest.
a mod either works 100%, or it doesnt.
having to go through a couple dozen lines to correct the formatting is pointless, so ppl will simply not use it in the first place, for fear of screwing up the entire attempted post.

that's what makes vB such a cool attraction: the editor works 100% compared to others.

You can't just clone someone elses copyright works.
It is a work in progress, although I wouldn't describe it as useless.

I tell you now, its not an easy thing to develop.
