Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 6, 201114 yr Twitter icon has a whole row to itself above a text box when starting a topic or replying to one (A). It doesn't deserve this allocation of real estate. Suggest moving it to toolbar above (B). (Yes, it's "not like the others," but conserving real estate trumps consistency in this case.)
March 6, 201114 yr The reason for that is because it's in the "Custom BBCode" row. All custom codes go there, not just Twitter (the confusion you experience is because twitter happens to be the only default).
March 7, 201114 yr Maybe they should put an option in Settings stating: "Do you wish to allow Custom BBCodes?" Yes/No. Give folks the option to remove it. Because it does stick out like a sore thumb. Regards, Wilford Tibbetts
March 8, 201114 yr Community Expert Management No longer an issue with the new text editor: The Twitter icon can be seen on the second row after the quote icon.
March 8, 201114 yr Removing the twitter button from the custom BBCode screen is easy-peasy. The problem is it gets filled in again when you do a maintenance update. I hope that behavior stops with the new editor.
March 8, 201114 yr Author No longer an issue with the new text editor...The Twitter icon can be seen on the second row after the quote icon. Thanks, Matt. That is a much better place for the Twitter button. The reason for that is because it's in the "Custom BBCode" row. All custom codes go there... This is an example of something that's logical but not necessarily good usability. Removing the twitter button from the custom BBCode screen is easy-peasy. The problem is it gets filled in again when you do a maintenance update. I hope that behavior stops with the new editor. It's easy-peasy if you ask around in the technical forums. The solution is a temporary work-around to correct a basic usability blooper. Good to see Matt's addressed it!

Oh no, I completely agree with you! I only mentioned it is easy to prevent someone from coming around saying it isn't hard to get rid of, when my issue is that the stupid button keeps coming back even after you figure out how to remove it. So I hope that is also addressed because it is annoying having to remove it every upgrade and re-add my own bbcode.I really dislike that useless twitter button.
