I've updated the editor we use in the forums.
The old one had lots of quirks that made development really tricky, and it loaded a lot more code than we really used. The new editor is much smaller, so forums pages should load faster.
A big change is that the forums now use bbcode formatting. You probably don't need to care about this level of detail, but if you click the "" icon on the editor toolbar you'll see what I mean. bbcode is a popular markup language for use in forums on the web, so you might already be familiar with it.
I've tried to replicate as much functionality as possible from our previous forums implementation. That said, if you find a missing feature or a bug, please let me know.
Warning - forum posts were previously stored in a different format. I've also tried to automatically convert the old HTML-based format to bbcode as much as possible, but if you try to edit really old posts strange things may happen. Sorry... this is the best I can do for now.
I hope you enjoy the new editor!
