The Forum is getting a new text editor

The in-browser spell check doesnt seem to work - unless there's one built into this new editor that needs enabling.

Already reported and @MSE_Stephen said he has reported it.

Not just me then. Learnt the 'old stuff' intuitively, but even with instructions, this update is tricky!

Certainly making a mess of formatting. And it won't let me post a simple link to the post. Why is it the many other forums I post on don't seem to have these problems ? Certainly going to make a lot of people not bother, never more has the old KISS method been needed !

Is it just me or has the change been rolled back within the last few minutes?

Even weirder, as evidenced by quoting the above in the old style, it now seems to have reverted to the previous version which functions as it used to.

It does look like the Post Comment box at bottom of the page has changed - spellcheck works for example

Hi everyone

As you can see we have rolled back to our previous editor. 

This will not change posts made with the new editor so there may be some inconsistencies when interacting with posts made today and yesterday.

The new editor is the one currently supported by our provider, and we did what we could to make sure it would work as expected before changing, but it's clear there have been some issues beyond what we expected.

Thanks. Nice to see you, or MSE, have listened to concerns this time.
