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

Now it's ON again is the first I had played with it the post before so followed nose that led me here.
It's not so bad if no further functionality is busted and particularly if the 1st attachment bug is finally fixed. :horse:
Complex multi quotes are something I do a bit of so that needs to work properly as does Insert Quote.
Let's try one at random.....nah it's busted. :--

No, let's not change the forum just to break something that worked properly just to fix some other bug !

I used to think Xenforo (fuck this can't even Copy/Paste properly and breaks the font size  |O) was the ducks nuts but familiarity with SMF has me prefer it over Xenforo even though I have 1k posts in a Xenforo forum.
Even the phpBB forum where the TEA chaps now call home is not too bad and certainly not busted like this new SMF plugin.

Edit
Look at all the formatting crap it did in my post. Copy/Paste twice fucked with the font......unbelievable.

There is hope :-+

Block malwarescript from code.jquery.com and it's almost back to normal. Guess I'm going to do it for now.

It changes to fixed width font in text mode.

The original editor just uses the browser's default font. The text I type appears exactly the same (except line length and line breaks) as it will appear in the post.

Yeah, I seem to recall the primary complaint being that there is five million posts with [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] , which is not exactly the way their authors intended them to render, and new such things are still being posted every other day by newcomers, followed by an occasional "what am I doing wrong?".

This new plugin is just Dave procrastinating >:D

And by the way.
Some people will guess/know/expect that they are supposed to drag images into the post and their images will get uploaded to imgur and things will be cool (provided imgur doesn't screw somethnig).
Others will try to use attachments and then  |O and :rant: when those don't work as expected.

pcprogrammer:
I tried drag and drop an image in this editor but it does not work.

Only in the attachment part you can drag and drop files.



So a big :--

Best fix would be to remove the inline image options from the drop down menu, if possible, and be done with it.

Edit: the inline image option in this editor allows to set the width and height, via a gui so that helps somewhat, but it seems you can't change the settings afterwards. Have to delete and redo to change the width or height.

I'm pretty convinced that no matter what changes I make to the forum, people are not going to be happy.
That only cost me a decent lunch to try.

I wish you'd left it on for more than a few hours so that more of us could have tried it. Most of us literally did not even get the chance to try it once. And you know how it is: people that don't like something are FAR more likely to say something than people who like it.

Re-enabled so people can try it. I'll leave it there for a day or two.

SCEditor (the so called "new" editor) and can be tested online, with all its features maxed and working:
https://www.sceditor.com/

SCEditor is a separate project, just like SQL or NGINX are not part of SMF, some of those features might not work in SMF, or they might interfere with other SMF addons.

Posting the link and suggesting for the curious to try it there first, because 2 years ago I've manged to break my SMF install trying to fix things that were not working as expected in SCEditor.  That was a RPi with a SMF meant as an alternative to a blog-like and/or personal project repo but online, a first time install and could have been entirely my fault.

Now, after 2 years, weird things are still there, random example, when I press enter to add an empty line, a new line is created, but the text in the edit does not scroll up, so to see the empty line I have to use the mouse wheel.  Back then there were many bugs.  Many are are still present.

Can you tell or point me to a link of how to do that, please?  No idea if that's a checkbox in the options here, a Firefox setting, or a sysadmin setting in the firewall.  Using Linux/Firefox, and Stylus to add a custom dark theme.  I don't know much about javascript, CSS, HTML and alike, so don't know what should I search for.
