Text editor changed
That would be great. I just joined the techcommunity today, wrote my first post and tried inserting an image to clarify the problem, tried a lot and finally gave up.
Thanks.
Hi all,
The first lot of changes are now enabled for the editor, these are the options we now support:
Paste - Allows you to paste in text, currently this does not support images or media
Bold - Makes your text bold
Italic - Makes your text display in italics
Underline - Underlines your text
Strikethrough - Allows you to strike a line through your text
Spoiler Tag - Allows you to hide some content from first viewing until the viewer clicks a link to
Insert Code - Allows you to insert code into a box that makes it easier to read.
Does not currently support syntax highlighting
Insert Emoticon - :heart: we plan to review and update these shortly.
Insert / Edit link - Allows you to insert or edit a link in your text
Insert Photos - You can upload and display photos in your posts using this link
Insert Video - Same as photos but not all users can use this button. If you do not see this button you can not use it.
Numbered List - Lets you create a list of ordered items

Justify - Makes your text justify across the screen size when it wraps on to a new line.
