jonovid:
It seems EEVblog is sprawling in all directions
food , pets threads & now social media tools, may also include pick-and-place machines & other high volume manufacturering tools
do we add EEVblog merchandise to the list?

No. You misunderstood. Both SMF and XenForo have WYSIWYG editors.
EEvblog will switch from SMF to XenForo or maybe to something else only if Dave decides so.

This forum does not have WYSIWYG enabled though...
That is why I made the joke comment, as you are preferring this older BBcode style text editor over the newer WYSIWYG standard of editor you tried in a newer version of SMF and Xenforo because it does not double space after a period and you prefer it not to copy formatting, even though you can just paste without formatting as you rightly pointed out.
Pretty much everything you have said in terms of features, Xenforo can do stock or with an addon as well.
Mathjax as far as I know, all you need to do is set it as a custom BBcode and get Xenforo to render it correctly in HTML. Pretty sure this is done with Javascript...

Click on the last button in the EEVblog's reply editor, the icon with a mouse cursor between square brackets (when hovering over it, it pops a "Toggle view" balloon). When clicked, it switches the reply editor to WYSIWYG mode, e.g. try adding a numbered list and it will appear formatted.

LOL, it will.
I have wondered why some people post like that, now it's clear.
