    We have entirely removed the existing editor and replaced it with a new one:

    [​IMG]

    So obviously this looks quite a bit different--and I know plenty of people didn't like the previous editor look--but the functionality is there. So what advantages do we have? Well there are various ones:
    • Much lighter code and faster to load.
    • When pasting, most formatting is removed (though some is kept). However, if you're pasting from one forum editor to another (or within the same one), all formatting is maintained.
    • White space is maintained for code tags when pasting from Webkit. This was an annoyance for a number of people here, myself included. :)
    • A bunch of other things I'm going to detail below...
    For the most part, the editor simply shouldn't get in your way so in a sense, you shouldn't actually see much different for the average post.

    How about some other bigger changes?

    Pasting images
    If you use Chrome or Firefox and have an image in your clipboard, you can simply paste it into the editor. It will automatically be uploaded as an attachment if possible. If the upload is successful, this works exactly like uploading an image and then clicking the "full image" button.

    Note that in Chrome, the image data must be in your clipboard (such as from pressing print screen). In Firefox, you can either have image data or you can copy a file that's an image and paste that.

    Drag and drop uploading
    Provided your browser supports it, you can now drag files into the editor to upload them:

    @User tagging
    While not directly related to the editor change, this is probably the best time to mention it. You can use @Mike style syntax to tag users in a post:

    Tagged users will receive an alert when they're tagged.

    Alternative smilie inserting approach
    The smilie dropdown really didn't work well with a lot of smilies. Clicking the :) button will now do this:

    Auto save drafts
    While you are typing a message, every X seconds (currently 60), a draft of your message will be saved. If you reload the page later, your message will be automatically re-shown. Drafts will be automatically pruned over time.
    Each draft is associated with a particular piece of content, such as a thread, forum, or conversations. A draft reply that you start working on in thread 1 will not be shown to thread 2 and so forth.

    Display if messages have been posted since you started your message
    Tied into the auto-saving, when you're writing a reply to a thread, we will check to see if any new messages and display a note if there are. You can then display those new posts without reloading the page.

    Responsive Design/ Mobile Website

    Oh yeah, one more thing on the editor, it's fully responsive and compatible with mobile website:

    Watching a Forum
    We have added another commonly requested feature: the ability to watch a forum. The forum watching system works rather similarly to the thread watching system, just on all content within a forum.

    When you click the link to watch a forum, you'll see an overlay like this:

    [​IMG]

    Notification-less watching options may be expanded in the future (such as with indications on the new threads list).

    Notifications work identically to thread watching notifications: you'll only receive one about a thread until you view it on the forum.

    Like threads, you can manage your watched forums in bulk via a dedicated page. This can also be used to simply filter only to forums you're interested in.

    Suggest as A deal feature - Now user cannot suggest his/her own deal for A.

    @stive @Amolverma.9 @zaiko @minhas @Rd singh - You guys were using this feature most but only for suggesting your own deals... Now let's see who will use this feature to suggest deals posted by others... Also please stop tagging me or any of my moderator in your thread unless it is loot deal.. I hope you guys know what is the meaning of Loot deal...

    Thanks!!!
