New posting editor

I know it's been a grueling two weeks since the new posting editor was added w/o any support for emoticons (smilies), but they're finally back.  The image button has also been added.

Well thanks David Voss for your efforts .

David,

Thank you for your efforts, and obvious patience with the less than patient. I'm glad the smilies are back and prefer the popup window with the sample pictures as compared with the drop down list.

I confess I do not see the benefit of the image button, as it appears to just be an additional step to do before pasting the url. I think I shall just stick with pasting image tags as before.

I really like the ability of using strikethrough. I like it!

edit: well the preview shows that strikethrough works, guess not. Back to the drawing table David!! No rest for the wicked! /edit

Thank you, David.

As a loyal subscriber, I just wanted to know what was going on, nothing more. An update or two would have been most appreciated.

Thanks David for returning the Smilies!!!!!

Thanks for the fixes David.  I know some people didn't see your messages regarding the smileys etc in the other threads and were a little upset.  So thanks for your patience and hard work as always. 

Are we back to the old "plain vanilla" post editor?

*tries to remember BBCode formatting instructions :-(



Edit: Never mind - it appears to be a local thing. Editor seems to work on one 'puter but not another...

That would be the case with me....works on my wife's 'puter but not mine....no toolbar at all. In the meantime, I've refreshed my memory in regards to BBCode formatting, and I can get by with that.

i see lots of comments about the smileys and this or that button but, what i would really like is an editor at all! about 2 weeks ago it disappeared and now all i can do is post in plain text and i can't even put in paragraphs. on my post some one was kind enogh to tell me that i could put in paragraph breaks with html code!!!! i mean really! i did not change my computer, windows version, or IE version. I just no longer have an editor at all! what's up with that! Where did it go and how can i get it back?
