Now I had the same problem, but it helped when I clicked the "Editor mode" ( the icon that looks like a piece of paper).
Then we get back to something like the old one, and things almost work again.

Sigh ! I wished we could get the old layot bach !!!!
When I clikk on a smiley, it covers what I am writing, and I have to click again-again to be able to see what I am doing

Me too !!!!!!

I sometimes make the links and text in a word document first, and copy it in the forum whan I am ready.
This is nice, because you can save it and work on it again later.
But when I do that now, I have to spend a long time removing all sorts of strange fonts, codes, and stuff, which this system generates and makes it all look a complete mess

This is also everything new to me. Maybe there is a chance to suggest a configuration option to revert to previous version.
Susanne, if you want text without formating code, use notepad instead of Word.
I am not having a single problem with this new editor but I understand that it is easier to use what we are used with.
About some technical dificulties, the forum was under manutention.

WONDERFUL !!! Thankyou ever so much

About what we are used to, - of course you are right, but it IS irritating that you have to switch mode before you can write after a quote.
And it IS irritating that the list of smilies cover the text so you can`t see what you are doing, and you have to click to get rid of the list again.

I can`t see any improvements ( unlike the new photobucket, which is great), only drawbacks ...
well, at my age we become more conservative

Conservative? Yesterday I was reading a tread of 15 pages of Admins of several foruns commenting how bad is this new editor and asking for previous version. Most of them are youger than I am.
I don't feel any troubles posting but it is evident that this version needs to be improved and as a lot of bugs. It is being harder for me to edit others posts.
One of the conclusions it was possible to take is that old version won't get back anymore. Some updates to the new version are promised to Monday.  Maybe it worth to be patient and see how it ends.

Ohhh ! So it is a new version, I didn`t know that 

Well, we will get used to it then, I just wish they would fix those two points, - then it is perfectly ok for me 

The developers are being strongly pressured to use the old emoticons table. It won't be also hard to keep the mode a user selects preventing the user of selecting it anytime the user wants to post. The old editor was considered the worst point of forummotion boards, I believe they are changing it to improve although we can't see it yet.

I am also having problems with the new editor. When I upload photos they do not show up, they just shrink and get an X over them.

Thank you so much Rogerio

A tip : When using notepad, de-activate the autimatic... what`sit called in English..the function that makes automatic new lines after reaching the right side of the "paper". THEN it works like a dream

Can you please post a picture, even if in preview it shows only an X? So I can see what is happening. You can do it on this topic.

Yes, it is called "word wrap" and it is on "format" menu. I am glad it is being useful and that you figured how it works. I always think that for simple tasks we should use simple programs.

I put in the URL, and there is a width and height option, I did not put anything into those two boxes. Maybe that is the problem? But I don't know what width and height it should be. Does anyone else know? :)

I am quoting you keeping the picture.

I can see it perfectly and I hope you too?
Size is exactly this one you're showing. 800 pxls width, not more.

Hi Reinbowshcleich, I can see your pic and you are using Photobucket. The best is to use the IMG code on photobucket ( I guess it is what you did) and to paste it directly in the postreply window without using the tools.

Like that... It works The easier, the better

I have problems when I quote someone - I cannot write under the quote, only in it :/

Is it possible to do something about it? Because the new editor is driving me crazy...

Nothing to do but to click on the "Switch Editor mode"-icon, - the one that looks like a sheet of paper .

I had the same problem, took mes some while to figure out which button the ''switch-to-editor-mode button" was (I started on the left) but I discovered it eventually.

Thanks! It works now :)
