Forum fix underway

Source: anonymous from Wargaming

Hello everyone,

just a quick update to you guys who find this one bug annoying. As some of you know, when you edit a post on the official forums, its formatting disappeared. At this moment, this bug is being fixed on the SEA forums with NA and EU forums possibly follow. World of Tanks forums will also recieve a new upgraded post editor in place of the BBCode one (something called CKEditor), that won’t do these bugs. This new editor already works on World of Warplanes forums.

Officially it’s called ‘overhaul the editor to look at improving the post formating’.

  1. “This new editor already works on World of Warplanes forums.”

    No it doesn’t.

    Quote buttons don’t work, plus it broke lots of other stuff.

    Well done WG, yet again you make things worse by fixing them.

    • It’s a matter of job security. Fix one thing, break a couple more, that way you’ll still have something else to fix for tomorrow.

      That’s pretty much the basics of how WG works.

    • I just went on WoWp forums and the new editor works
      I didn’t knew there’s one since I don’t visit those forums much from the last patch

  2. It was never broken, it just looks like.
    Quit the window, open it again, and the formatting is back.

  3. That it very annoying…had to keep the raw code version elsewhere, edit it offline and then paste it in the code mode back…IF that worked :)

    In that case you need to save an empty post, edit it again and then the “show code” option works again :)

  4. I generally found that if I use the full editor rather than quick editor it comes out fine.
