[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]Instead of manually typing out a code.......you know like [blah]content[/blah] for an effect. You click on a button in the editor and it does the coding in the background, you just have to feed it in the content.

[/QUOTE]
So you type what you want in the box and it puts it like the code you want?


I just dont want to explode when this comes out xD
 
Interesting, I've never been good at BBcodes as I could never figure out how to exactly do them. Hopefully this Accordion will allow me to creat amazing posts as I could never do with bbcodes.
 
While I realize how useful it'd be to be able to make accordions, etc. without the bbcode editor, I'm going to miss it. It feels more stable/competent than the Rich Text editor, which tends to mess up my code more than the bbcode editor. I know you're not keeping it, though. I trust that the "combined" editor is as stable as the current bbcode editor.


The rest of this gives me no pause, and I'm really excited for the changes you'll be making, especially customized activity!

Personally, I feel very apprehensive about the new way we're going to type out code. I sort of like the rich text editor/bbcode editor the way it is now. No judgment until it actually comes out but I feel very nervous.
Yeah, I'm kinda shaky about it too. But we trust you, do us proud! But will there be an option to still use the BBCode how we do now?
 
Sounds really fantastic! But I have to wonder if we will still have all of the threads on this site outside of the archived ones?


Still, happy to know that I get to make the site look as edgy as possible on my end.

same *is actually nervous*
 
So now I can say "back in my day I had to type out my code not have it automatically like you do with your new website"
 
[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]Hey All,
Announcements have been slow since April/May not counting Newsletters because I’ve been hard at work over the past few months working on a complete rework to the site. This is the biggest undertaking I’ve taken since creating the site, completely dwarfing every other update we’ve had till now and we’ve had some excellent ones.


This won't be an announcement it self since its just a teaser but here are some of the things that are being worked on apart from hundreds of fixes and tons of new features.

  • Increased Site Stability (Alerts, replying, much more)
  • More Profile Customization
  • PM enhancements
  • Better RP search, much more powerful activity system that can be tailored to your exact needs.
  • So....much more.


Apart from the above things I've revealed and somethings I'm still keeping a secret from the community at large, here are two things I wanted to touch upon:


The Nyte Life: Visual Update:


This update has been bundled into the new RpN rework and is more then just a dark mode, it also finally includes for the ability to change colors on the site once again. Enjoy!


The Editor:


This is one I've been screaming about for years now and something I'm particularly excited about, the editor is going to get completely replaced and no longer will we have a "BBCode" or "Rich Text" mode and the confusion of which one to use. Its just one easy to use competent editor. This also means that the bbcode parser (what lets you use the bbcode language in your posts) like so.

Code:
[accordion]
{slide=Testing 1}Info{/slide}
{slide=Testing 2}Testing{/slide}
{slide=Testing 3}Stuff{/slide}
[/accordion]

So on the new update, typing out code, won't actually do anything. Instead ALL current bbcodes and future codes are fully intergrated into the editor and work as such.

This is just a rough example of the accordion code, you just click on the respective button on the editor and you can summon effects instead of having to struggle them or have someone teach you an ancient bbcode language. Essentially the Editor will become a Whitelisted HTML Interface allowing you to use any code we create and making it easier to make more in the future to add to our ever amazing library.


The editor is getting a ton of other writing enhancements, but I wanted to leave you with just that.


Mobile App:


This is done, I'm in the process of trying to save for a new macbook so I can finally submit them to the app store.


This new version of the site is slated to be released sometime before 2017.


If you have any questions, feedback, concerns please feel free to post below :) !

Will the BBCode thing be mandatory? Because I like typing out the code myself, I feel like I'd use bbcode less often if it becomes easy to do, you know?


I like the challenge of it all and it makes me feel better about the whole thing at the end of it. And I like being in the 'elite' part of the website that uses BBCode

No more coding, there is no bbcode parser built into the editor. The one requiring a popup interface is just for the big ones like accordion but basic ones like background colors and other stuff is just as simple as selecting the text and clicking the button.


The BBCode langauge is a dead language from the 90s and its become increasingly difficult to maintain and make new ones. Most modern software have already begun dropping support for it and we will do the same. Its the same effects you are used to seeing/using, just applied faster/easier. I guess it could be a pain if you dislike interacting with the editor.

I'll just die if they remove manual coding, it's the only thing I really enjoy.
 
All I gotta say...

Everything in this sounds epic , and I truthfully can't wait. Though I do share the concern on typing BBcode , because I use bold and italics quite frequently and it'd be easier just to type the [letter][/letter]...
 
super psyched about the BB Code editor thing, the only thing being that no one will be impressed with my coding skills anymore because everyone can do it x3

That and to make pretty epic shit, you have to break some of the coding/add shit to make it work. Having an automatic system sort of kills said ability (maybe? I have no clue).
Hopefully it doesn't. I enjoyed seeing all the cool stuff people did. That and having to type everything out, made me feel better about all the time I wasted learning BBCode (Which now, it seems it will actually be wasted time :/ )

Darn. Are you suresuresure there won't be any way to go back? I know there's like only seven of us who would like to use the old system but still?
 
[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]Instead of manually typing out a code.......you know like [blah]content[/blah] for an effect. You click on a button in the editor and it does the coding in the background, you just have to feed it in the content.
No.


It just means the site will finally have an app so that users who don't like to use their mobile browsers can have an app an instead. This would come with things like Push Notifications.

[/QUOTE]
Oh, nevermind. I like that even better because I'm shit at BBcode in the first place.
