hey @Katie - i hope you enjoyed your few days off! it’s ok, leyla already set up a new dm thread anyways lol thank you though
The new text box is live again folks. It'll be live until 3pm
It's live @independent_ let me know how it functions on your laptop!
I hate the text box @Katie 😂 it’s not easy to use at all
hey @katie - i have the same issue not being able to see the drop down when trying to tag people (i don’t know if this will even work to tag you)
Also there is a spoiler feature - you need to click this icon on the left
Click "" and then click "Spoiler" - you might just need to highlight the text you're wanting in a spoiler and then pop it in
hello @Katie it's let me tag you but it's awkward. It tells me to press the arrow keys to select who i want to tag but when I do it it doesnt let me choose so i had to press the tab key.
Same issue with the return key that i mentioned above, it doesn't announce it.
i hate the box
All feedback is useful! @eylah and @River is there anything in particular you don't like about the box?
Thank you @independent_ - the tech team are looking into the accessibility issues you mentioned last week so I'll pass this on too. Is there anything else causing an issue on your laptop?
can the mix keep the old text box? this one looks strange and i prefer the old one because this one seems unorganised.
it definitely makes things feel so much harder, and as i said previously, i genuinely wouldn’t remain on the boards if this became permanent as i can’t use it (im still trying to figure out how to explain it sorry katie!!!)
also again it's telling me to press CTRL + shift + P for the paragraph menu, and when i try that it just brings up some kind of windows printer menu so nothing to do with this.
@Katie its not easy to use and it looks ugly, the buttons make zero sense, the quoting looks awful and so hard to read on posts and the fact the buttons aren’t straight is very upsetting (joys of a perfectionist) 😂
Unfortunately @toffuna101 as the current text box is unsupported as it's kinda old, we are likely going to experience some more tech issues so we are having to look at alternative options.
I know we're all used to the current text box so any change will take some getting used to, however this text box does have some fun extra features like the tables etc. Please do feel free to have a play around here
The quoting does read differently too, though i could perhaps get used to that
It is also taking me some getting used to! I'm trying to figure out how to separate chunks of text
Double enter doesn't seem to work
awww that sucks. well im gonna play around with it.
old
new
better
unorganised
much better
at least theres a table
that would drive me mad i’m afraid, especially given how i struggle enough as it is with large chunks of text…
This text box will be live until 3pm so please do test here! I'll switch it back to the normal one at 3pm
also, everytime i hit “quote” or post something the whole webpage refreshes on me🥲
I'm 99% sure there is a way @shannon_164 as I can see paragraph styles I just need to have a play around with it
However, it is confirmed there isn't a preview button which is a shame
