as y'all have noticed, I've been working on the page.
the editor has been a major PITA for a long time. I think I've whooped it.
notice your new buttons... well, some of them are new. re familiarize then, if you would. know this, though: there are hidden functions. you can now drag and drop an image.. no more uploading it or cumbersome web addresses to screw around with... all you literally have to do is click and hold it, and drag it into the text editor box. boom. it auto uploads to a place on the web and 'should' stay there forever. if you choose, you can still use the old way too.
the big one though: formatting. though i've only 'rudely' tested it, it seems to work. you should be able to copy something from a document or from the web, and paste it here retaining the formatting. you 'should' be able to do this directly into the editor, OR, you can choose the little 'paste text' or 'paste' buttons on the strip above the editor and do it form there. the difference is one is text only, and the other is 'mixed' content such as images with the text.
youtube, facebook, twitter, et al- all work the same as they did.
on my list remains the auto-suggest when you start typing a username (specifically in PM's or the mentions tool), and the alerts (the little red number in your alerts triangle thingy).... once those are whooped? we gots some nice digs here. and once that is so, I'm locking it down.
