We recently moved from version 4 to version 5 (hosted), delayed by the availability of our preferred theme.

I am immediately noticing two significant changes in the new topic editing window:

1. There is no longer a button in the top left to view/edit source code.

2. There is no longer a button in the lower right to insert media (such as an externally hosted image) via URL.

Is there someplace in the forum or theme settings that these features can be restored, or has Invision abolished them altogether?

Hi @Awesome Geoff,

There is no longer a source/HTML function within the new Tiptap editor that is now being used on v5, purely due to the fact that this editor does not support this functionality. You can read more about the new editor on the link below.

There are some other discussions you can read through and participate in.

HTML - Feedback - Invision Community

Should you really need this functionality, there is an application created by a developer that may interest you.

HTML Editor - Admin & Mod Tools

To answer your second question; you can still post these images. Just save the photo and drag it into the post window or simply browse for it amongst the files on your system.

Despite the small number of features that were removed from v4 to v5, there really are a huge number of other new features that are very beneficial to most communities.
