The Forum is getting a new text editor

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. 

Brilliant, and thank you. 🥂 🎆 🎇

Okay, glad I'm not going mad. Hopefully this can be fixed!

Line spacing or emojis? I'm just currious.

EDIT: Well, that's annoying. It seems the new/old forum now throws a wobbly when you quote!

EDIT: Did anyone see a lot of code with the quote I just posted or was it just me?

Thanks for listening and taking action - I'm sure that many many members are grateful.  I am!

Is it gone for good or will it return?

Except I can't seem to edit my posts now? Anyone else finding this?

I hadn't noticed until I read this, but now if I try to edit my post in this thread last night, I  get an apparently otherwise empty box with just cancel and save buttons inside it.

I've been able to edit posts from today in the rolled-back editor.  Haven't tried editing any that were posted from the new editor since it was rolled back.  I think the trouble might be if a post were from one editor with attempts to edit it afterwards using a different one.  Two different, incompatible systems perhaps.

Yes that is what I got!

The post I wanted to edit was written late this afternoon in the old, rolled back editor.

ETA it appears I can edit again now!

And quoting now works again, with the ability to focus on the parts that matter Thank you for rolling it back - and hopefully the provider you're working with will be able to look at the mountain of feedback, and try and fix it before rolling it out again
