Did it get removed?

Mine has gone missing after upgrading - I can't see one in the settings?

No results searching for 'wysiwyg' in the wiki?
I think it automatically get's removed.
So how do you replace it?

Do I really need to install a plugin?

I thought the idea of open source software was to go forward

I'm talking in terms of users, can some one tell me how to explain to over 1,000 mybb users over the age of 45 that they now have to use mybb code to attach pictures, include links etc because their demographic was no longer deemed relevant to the development of the mybb software...

...Hello... Open Source

Please, someone tell me I have totally got this wrong, and it is a misunderstanding on my part
There has never been a WYSIWYG editor in MyBB 1 at all.
One may be added to MyBB 2.

OK - WYSIWYG - wrong term (what is the correct term?) apologies (age group maybe).

After upgrading, my users can no longer make text bold, or italic, add a picture via an image button or make text into a url... how do I turn this feature on?



This feature is always on. Just put what is inside the code tags below in a post and it will render
[b]the text you want bold here[/b]
I'm confused - before the upgrade I had a WYSIWYG editor - no code necessary...

Are you saying that I will now have to train my 1000+, over 45 years old, members to use [insert code name here] code rather than be able to use the previously available [and really easy to use] (wysiwyg) editor.

Was that a plugin? apologies I have only taken over the site , if it was, which one?

surely there is a wysiwyg?
There has never been a WYSIWYG editor on MyBB, unless you had a plugin like that installed but nothing default.
OK - I've narrowed this down - I am missing the "Clickable MyCode Editor" (what I was calling a wysiwyg editor).

If I change the theme to the default, then it appears, it I change it to the my theme one, then it disappears - I have only done css changes - but the theme was originally created on 1.2.* and converted on the upgrade

So I compared the from the default theme and my theme "Template set --> Edit Post Templates --> Edit Post template" and both are identical.

I just noticed that my smilies are not clickable neither - so I think I must be missing some javascript ... Any ideas where to look?

I already have this in my template:
<!-- start: codebuttons -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/editor.js?ver=1600"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

OK - don't panic

The headerincludes template was loading version 1.2 javascripts in - I changed it and it all works now Smile
