Der Anfang Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just why? Are previews a bannable thing now? Is there a reason why that option was removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfluous J Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Totally agreed. The forum takes a lot of BBCode (which is good!) but you can't see if it's correct until you submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Not a feature the current forum software offers. Also, moved to Kerbal Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Mirrsen Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 IPS4 no longer technically supports BBCode. Which I see as a sufficient reason to axe the whole thing and go back to the old forums pending a better software choice. It doesn't have a preview function because its ability to understand BBCode at all is too limited to matter, and it's seen as an outdated concept because, apparently, some people think other people always want to have less flexibility in trade for simpler usage.

In practice, you may note that almost all my posts say "edited". Why? Because annoying editor and no preview. Whoever is in charge of this mess, please reinstate a non-WYSI(S)WYG, plain-text + BBCode editor with a preview function. The old system had one, if the new one cannot do this then it is simply an inferior solution. Less is not more, and simpler is not better.
