Can someone help me get a better mybb editor for 1.6.15

Now let me be clear i have tried a few already and that turned out with bugs. I tried the sceditor and multiquote and quick reply broke as well as normal posting breaking sometimes. I have tried countless others that have mods without success too.

The latest attempt was using ckeditor and its cdn way and changing the text area but that resulted in an error about message being missing and not working.

So does anything have a new editor that works on 1.6.15 without issues. Make my day please. Im getting sick now.
What is the issue with the existing editor? Do you want a WYSIWYG editor?

the existing standard editor is ok but it is outdated and makes the forum look a bit meh so i wanted an updated editor. And yes a WYSIWYG editor would be good. Just seems whatever i try has issues.
Out dated and meh? That is just styling on the editor. It can look really nice. Personally, after using 1.8 and it's wysiwyg editor I like using the old mybb editor.

Have you tried some of the editor themes there are for it?

Alternatively I can help you install scEditor - it does work Smile

I have not. And tbh i would not know how to install such a theme. Can you suggest a guide/link to some themes for the editor.

I also have some custom buttons on my editor would they need redoing on the themes.
Usually its just a case of downloading the editor theme.

That is the old mods site, so you can look through.

Hmm really only 2 editor themes i can see and those are dark.

I guess i could create a theme myself.

I do have one extra question would you know how to make the textarea on the editor better like it is in 1.8. So that you can drag it down and have the container height change with it.
In your global css just add

textarea {
resize: vertical;
}

Is it possible to make the div with the editor expand too like it does here.
