You can't, functionality isn't there.

Another step backwards

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for your reply!

how is it a step backwards? it is basically previewing while you type it. They streamlined it.

Yes, the editor is a true wysiwyg editor. So what you see while creating the post, is what will be saved.

Just passing on feedback from my members ......

We like it, it isn't there.......

Not it is not. Try BBCode. It is not parsed while typing.

Not it is not. Try BBCode. It is not parsed while typing.

BBCode as you know on IP.Board 3, does not exist on IPS4, you know that. Today there's a way to simulate that, but it isn't BBCode anymore.

[querschlaeger]

BBCode exists and works here.

Try to submit this:

[b]bold[/b]

bold

[Adriano Faria]

This is not BBCode.

It is there on script:

		/* Bold */
		if ( static::canUse( $member, 'Bold', $area ) )
		{
			$return['b'] = array( 'tag' => 'strong' );
		}

It is tied to the button on editor, like what I said before. Today you can create a button to execute some action and place it on editor.

I'm also getting a lot feedback via PMs about "where is the preview button" or "why can't I preview my post." Everyone knows that WYSIWYG doesn't mean just that when posting. If it where, don't you think Wordpress would have also gotten rid of that feature as well?

I'm going to have to second the motion to reintroduce the ability to preview your post.

Same here after update. People just want this feature. So is step back.

It will be back in the next week or two.
