...that had fonts, the "insert image" button, etc? I liked the toolbar [-(


Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

  • you can still attach and insert a picture by the "attach file" button at the bottom of the comment box.

    Also besides the Toolbar missing so are our "signatures" at the bottom of posts and the ability to have "Classic View" , "Flat View" etc. choices so we can see who is actually responding to what comment. I know BGE is trying, but this forum is still lacking MANY of the Great features the "Original" BGE Forum has.

    I ALSO noticed my post count is off and less here than it really is on "The Original Online Community For The Big Green Egg"

    I see that, thanks. I'm just curious why the toolbar that was there before is gone? It had some handy features. Maybe it's something you had to eliminate for browser compatibility. I know you guys are busy fielding all these questions, complaints, threats (just kidding :-D ),etc...so no biggie on this issue.

  • This forum makes it so you don't need to use classic or flat view and when you want to respond to a post you can use the quote function

    So then we would have to search for when somebody is talking to us. GENIUS!
    :-q
  • Hmmm, if everyone quotes every time they respond to someone so that everyone knows who is talking to who, these pages are going to get very long. I wish the proponents of this new forum could drop the "You don't need" mantra. This should not be about what we need, it should be about what we want. Some of us like and want the threaded view.

    You jest I hope, this view will probably never fly. The resent work here is promising but still far from the old forum. No tool bar on the editor has only crippled it further.
    Still have to use an external spell checker? This is still a primitive board IMO.

    Not true, when you look at your profile u can see who has commented on your posts and who is trying to notify you all in one spot.

    Really? I just looked at my profile and it doesn't show that you quoted me or that you replied in this thread. Looks like I have to bookmark it and then it tells me EVERYONE that posts in it. No bueno
  • Did anyone ever find where the toolbar went? It doesn't show up on my laptop at home. I got on this forum at work for the first time today and it showed up on that laptop.

    Hmmm...it looks like the toolbar is back for now.  I can change the font and highlight.

    =D>

    Now preview is gone :-).

  • It's not on mine! Is it not compatible with certain computers?
