Before today, when I was typing in a message to this forum on the left side of the screen, I could also see on the right side of the screen what the message ultimately was going to look like after I posted it. That right side view of what the message is really going to look like is gone. Is it just me? I have tried it with multiple browsers, and I get the same issue with all browsers. I have clicked every icon I can find on the forum screen to try to find some option I can change, but I have had no success.
Itās especially troublesome when I post an image because without that right side of the screen view of my message, I canāt see what the image is going to look like in the context of the rest of my message.
I noticed that early today and like you I also donāt care for itānot only as it concerns pictures BUT I was able to see typos better in the preview pane
My first reaction is that it is an improvement over the previous editor. Whatx the problem with typos?
-seems to spellcheck well.
And pasting screenshots in works great. Is there an issue with large images? Images can be scaled up or down. I guess a large one could be scaled down temporarily to allow more space for text and then scaled up for posting.
Thereās none of that markdown code to mess with. [1]And you can add footnotes!
Nothing wrong with typos as long as you can figure out what they meantāmost times I can BUT sometimes itās like me trying to read a text message from my g-nieceāI have no idea what she is trying to sayā¦
as for pictures, what was in the original before sent was really small and then huge after posted..
BUT did notice it gives you the option to build a pollāinteresting
I inspected the page source and identified the Discourse version that RootsMagic is running: 3.5.0.beta.9
Then I went searching for changelog information etc. The Discourse organization has ongoing work on changing their composer. You can read more in this announcement on meta.discourse.org ā¦
So Iām sure that RM probably did a software update in the last 24 hours and got upgraded from some older version that was pre-composer-changes.
Thank ya Natural extension of my penchant for searching out obscure genealogical records .
I think the composer toggle switch, using just an āAā, isnāt going to be clear for most people. Good on ya for pointing it out. I hope the Discord folks change that. Maybe instead of an āAā they could change it to a notepad icon or something.
Once we all get used to it Iām sure the newer Composer style will be just fine.
I use screencast.com It is not a free site, but there definitely are free sites for this purpose. When I publish to screencast.com, it gives me back a URL I can paste into messages on this forum, or really to anywhere. For example, I could email the URL to somebody.
If itās a screen capture instead of a video, then this forum supports simply pasting the screen capture into the message I am composing. I donāt even have to save the image to a file on my computer at all. I just do a Ctrl+v to paste. A right click and then paste would do as well.
