Are there any EEVblog server app you'd like to see installed?

I may be completely crazy, but I think it just worked and I doubt there was something special installed, so it is possible that it became a standard feature since then. 

In any case, I think I'll just take this as an opportunity to spend less time on the form and do something more useful. I see no point in fighting bad UIs.

Yes we know, every time something is changed in the forum you don't agree. We know that you only care about electronics and so on, don't have space for anything more than that.

It's not the first time you say you gonna take some time away. Then why don't you take that time and let us who are trying to get something functional while helping Dave to achieve that?

There is no old mode because this Po$ replaces it, that's the main complaint from everybody :--

Even if you click the "text mode button":
1. it still doesn't revert to the original editor
2. it still doesn't remember the choice, so one would have to do it each time
3. it's still buggy:
a) some people say it breaks "insert quote" :wtf:
b) a stupid limit on the size of the text box
c) a monospace font for some incomprehensible reason
d) a larger font than normally + c) means that b) gets even worse
e) related to b), the cursor turns into "hand" rather than "arrows" over the "resize textbox" corner ???
f) no tooltips over the emoticon buttons, this also applies to WYSYWIG mode
g) press CTRL+Z too many times and it takes you back to WYSYWIG |O

And most of this breakage I have identified in just a few minutes, so I'm sure there is more. I block scripts to castrate this newfangled plugin most of the time; this doesn't restore full operation of the original SMF editor, but at least gets rid of the worst problems introduced by the new one. So far I'm finding new problems each time I re-enable it to check something.


Last but not least, the forum still hasn't been fully cleaned up after the previous round of SMF extension experiments :P
PlainName:
Just noticed a big difference (possibly because of the scripts that need to be enabled now). If you reply (or quote), do the edit then post the result, previously you could use the browser 'back' to go back to the edit and then the place where you started. Important if you're replying to a post which is a page or so back from the tail.

With the new editor, back takes you to the editor and then a few more tries gets you to the end of the thread. You've lost your position. The edit tab shows up as a separate instance in the browser history (that is, you'll have an entry for the thread, then the post, then another for continuing the thread). Previously, there was just one entry for the thread (since it was only one tab for the entire thing).

I was ambivalent about the other 'features' but this is really annoying.

Edit: screeny to show the effect. Previously there would be one entry for 'Are there any EEVBlog...' and one for 'Editing' (regardless of pages or posts).

FYI, this post https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sna5000x-two-and-four-port-vnas-coming/msg4566994/#msg4566994 was made with some Copy/Paste and came out fine when the Toggle View setting and Paste as Plain Text was used. :phew:
W10 and Chrome

Edit
It still broke the URL ! |O
