I'm on mobile atm - and it's not necessarily a carry over - but damn I'd love to see some html/css capabilities with this new editor.


Once I get on the computer I'll be back with actual suggestions.
 
I'm not 100% sure what we're looking to do here? (I'm pregnant, so my brain isn't functioning anymore xD ) - Are we suggesting code to add (as in the 'glitch' codes that might have a better format with the new system?)


That's a lot of parenthesis... sorry!
 
Glitches that may have a chance to have a proper coding to them (making them not glitches anymore), any BBCoding you love on here that you'd wanna see carried over. Even concerns about the system that could be addressed outside of that announcement (since I know I put up pages of that and don't wanna flood that area again). Maybe even suggest shit you always wanted to see in this system but just can't be pulled off right now. I mean, since suggesting stuff is on the table, why not see how far this can go?
 
Gotcha - basically I just want the ability to alter what we already can. So... accordions... I wanna be able to change the color, the border, the font as much as possible. I'd love to see more freedom with fonts as far as size goes if possible. I'm with Rissa on (if it's even possible) having SOME option to text-base code, for those of us who type quickly or like the challenge (though I get that it might not be possible at the time being).


As long as there's a way to copy/paste or macro save the code, I'm a happy camper. I just don't want to have to recode my posts every single time.


I'd LOVE to see more freedom over images, as well - the ability to size images fully (not just height, but width as well).


As far as concerns - I'm curious what happens to code that ISN'T already formatted (as in that code that is actually IN code tags

Code: 
like this

). Because basically THIS is my sandbox right now xD and I'd rather not lose all those codes if I can save them now *lol*

I would definetly like to see the ability to put an image as a background, which was found as a glitch, be implemented as an actual code.


Also, @ViAdvena is super good at breaking BBCode and finding shnazzy new things (she found the background image bork) maybe she has something to add.~ <3

Wiz told me that this was DEFINITELY going to be in the 2.0. I'm most excited for that part.
 
Curious about how "spacing" is going to work in the new system? I love creating space surrounding shit. So, if there's a way to implement that, I mean...


That and I wonder if scroll bars WILL work for accordion coding as well.
 
I'm hoping there will be a really easy way to play with negative space, like on a lot of my favorite html pages. As for the scroll bars, if they don't I might cry a little. I'm lowkey hoping for a way to implement them without accordions or spoilers.
 
I know they said we'll be able to "stack" codes, but is that the same thing as "nesting" them within other codes? Cause if not, then I definitely hope that's an option.

They are... I just also like the idea of them in accordions.

[/QUOTE]
Same.


Here's to hoping we'll just be granted css
 
OH! Previews!! That was the other thing I was hoping is there!! The option to preview the code/post before posting it, to make sure it's where it needs to be!

I think some kind of margin/padding options would be nice to have, especially for this.


Also the ability to further edit what we have - for example borders, maybe have a radius/curved option. People have mentioned tabs and the like and I agree.

Seconded


I just really don't want to see some ugly clunky editor... like I'm a lil nervous about that. :I Well idk, maybe I just don't like em..
 
Not one of the ones tagged but


*whispering*


The ability to make three equal columns somehow magically without the complicated column=span1, then 2, 2, 2, then 1 with transparent words


The dream goal here.


And basically accordions with all their fanciful editing and customizations available, like bgs, font sizes, borders, etc. But I think that's already been said?
 
I don't know whether this has been suggested or not, but I would love to see vertical tabs. Or better yet, vertical accordion 8D


Also, the ability to make heightrestricted image non-clickable. Means it won't enlarge if we clicked on it. If you ask why, try to put a large image into an accordion and then click said accordion. Manually resizing image is a pain, a paaaaain.

The editor doesn't have a bbcode mode anymore, previewing was built into it. What you see in the editor is what you are going to get in the post :) !


There is a new preview mode but not what you expect. Instead of showing you codes (since the editor does that), it will let you see how it will look like on a tablet or phone/different devices to make sure that your coding looks like you want it to across multiple devices.

Oh wow... that's the first thing I've heard about the new thing that makes me excited to see it :-) I hate trying to figure out how to make code look right on a browser AND mobile! Thanks!

No problem :P !


Like I said, the editor has been massively updated for 2016.


Its not like I wanted to get rid of the bbcode parser :( . I don't disagree though, it just means its time to move on.

I hear ya. My mother was an admin on Geocities, once upon a time (before it became yahoo!) - so I've grown up on antiquated code. But I think I can adjust, so long as it's not overly convoluted! I'm embracing change! (Just don't ask me to change my juno email address....)
 
Also, hey. Strangely unrelated yet sort of kind of related question. Is there any chance that more BBCode possibilities could be added to Signatures? Will Signatures be getting any updates at all? I.E, using fonts in Signatures? That's one thing I have always dreamed about.
 
^^ Cloudy reminded me. What about information sections? Mine's wonky because I used columns, but I like it too much to change it. Anyway that's going to be fixed?

The limit of 1 image per sig, 5 lines of text max won't be lifted any time soon but this time around effects do work :) !

Effects still work in profiles like currently but I'm not sure how well they work, I might be able to address that in a style fix if it happens to be broken (maybe not?)
