advanced editor question
Hi when in advanced editor if I press enter, the curser adds two new lines.

In basic editor mode, if I press enter, the curser adds only one new line.

I would like the advanced editor to only add one new line.

How can I change this?

Thanks for any help.

Mike

I don't know of any simple way to do this (if anyone does, it would be greatly appreciated!). The problem is that the actual input of text is not controlled by Gossamer Forum, but by your browser through a built-in Internet Explorer handler for HTML editing. You can, however, press Shift-Enter to make the editor put a single line instead of the double line. (In HTML terms, this puts a <br> insted of closing the <p> and starting a new one)

Hi Jason.

I was talking with the technical support, because I consider that the weak point of Gossamer Forum, is the Advanced editor (anything less). In that moment, they confirmed me that you have already a new version for this editor (if it is that i understood well).

Since my purchase decision is completely seated in the improvement on the editor, i wanted to know if in the version 1.2.0 a new editor of messages would be implemented, or if it is foreseen for the version 2.0

Please, this point is very important for me, i wanted that you clarify me all that has foreseen regarding this point.

Thanx Smile

What specific issues do you see with the advanced editor? There have been improvements lately that fix the issue where the advanced editor fails to load, or loads in a garbled up way. Any suggestions for improvement are, of course, welcome.

Version 2 will probably have a reimplementation of the advanced editor to make its design a little cleaner, and perhaps make it a little lighter/faster. That said, the double-spacing is one of the few issues I am aware of with the current advanced editor that people are unhappy with (and will definitely be fixed by v2).

Who were you talking to? It may well be a misunderstanding. Although we've made some fixes and minor updates here and there, there hasn't been a major change since the 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1 release.

Jason: First at all, i choose for my community, because i consider it, far away the BEST software for thousands and thousands of reasons ok ?

I have a mail from Jack Ong in the date, november 19, 2002, where he told me "for the Advanced Editor, yes, we have a new version of it in the works that is going to outstrip everything that we have right now." (exactly words)

My problems on this advanced editor are severals... not only the simple issue about double space.

I sitll have the trouble with the buttons crounchen in one pile, topic threated here:

And troubles with the smiles, topic threaded here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=218309#218309

Many users of my communty complain about loosing what they are writed in a post preview, or when they hit a key that sends back to the browser. Also the quotes, and "in reply to" not always work in a friendly way. They need touch the tag result for get a good result when they write a post.

Think that many people, are writing in other forums, who i consider that have a very functional and friendly interface, in comparison to ours.

All this thing, motived me to ask them if the editor will be change, and i understood that YES, the editor will be totally renovated.

Gossamer forum will continue being the support of my community, because for other features, i consider it highly effective, powerful and simpe, to handle. But as well as i honest to say this, im think that i'm being honest too, when i say that this editor is the weakness point on Gossamer forum.

In other order, i'm not and advanced user, and may be, many of this cuestion can be error from my self customization. But i'm really discouraged, to attemp fix all this issues whit my hand, that is why i touch the technical support asking for the future on the advanced editor.

As always, i'm to your disposition to give you more data or help modestly in my posibilities.
