Julius has just just switched us to the new rich text editor which had been previously discussed here. This is a major change to our forum so feel free to ask questions and test your post formatting for the new system here.
This new text editor is a total PitA when I'm trying to format no-reload posts correctly because I can't leave the HTML view turned on when I want to use the toolbar at the top of the comment box.
False alarm. Apparently the admins switched format to wsyg temporarily in order to fix a few bugs. They just didn't tell anyone and I didn't know any better.
The new rich text editor will actually be out in about a 2 weeks, February 6th.

Ah, that's why I didn't find any difference when I tried to use the forum text editor after reading this thread.
What's going on at the moment? Whenever I quote, it starts in the WYSIWYG editor. If I switch to HTML mode (WYSIWYG editors give me the shivers), I've got to manually insert br tags to start newlines.

Can we please have UBB mode back?
Oh.. now I see there's a difference. Hmm.. this will take some time to get accustomed to.
We switched the format to fix some bugs with the forum. Unfortunately, we will just have to endure this until the new rich text editor actually comes out in about a week.

To fix some bugs, you switch to something that is a pain in the a** to use I'm glad I don't often have to post things that require formatting as it's a nightmare to do right now.
@lefreut We would have had to switch anyway, at the time the new Editor is released. I understand the WYSIWYG editor is not the ideal solution, but this is what needs to be gone through before we can switch to a supported editor by Vanilla.

Does that mean HTML mode will be removed completely when the new editor is released? Or asked differently, will it still be possible to prepare posts beforehand with the new editor?

Please pretty please keep UBB support available! Seriously, nobody wants to work with HTML for just a simple post, and WYSIWYG is just a pain to work with.
I don't mind there being an option for WYSIWYG or HTML. They can have their uses. But UBB is and remains the most convenient for forum posts.
@Rik_Kirtaniya Things are kinda crazy right now. We tried the new editor for a while. It lasted a few minutes before we got tired of how ugly it was and switched to something else again.

Additional information will be available once the editor is out of the beta.
