      This is a test. 1234.  DOES THIS WORK? This is attempt three of the new home page implementation.  

      I’ve spent several weeks working on installing and configuring a new text editor for the home page.  The previous text editor was buggy and a couple of weeks ago I replaced it with a very limited, and simple one.  That was fine, but people still had a hard time inserting media, links and so on.  Also the new post or new reply dialog popped up in a window with a small area.  So the goal was to make a bigger area to work with, and add easier and better functionality to the interface to make it easier for users to write posts.

      What’s new?

      1. New text editor for new posts and replies.  The editor has some simple and useful controls for bold text, italic, color, block quote, links, images, movies, preview, and fullscreen.  More instructions to be posted soon.  The links, images, and movies embed should work MUCH better and more simply.

      2. New posts and new replies no longer will be done in a popup window.  The new editor area is bigger and has more room for composing posts and viewing them.

      3. There are new animations and fun interactive aspects to the home page when opening and closing replies, starting new threads, or posting replies. 

      4. I’ve tweaked the layout very slightly to look better in mobile.

      This is a test.  More to come.

          What’s the “eye” button for? I see link, picture/photo, video, then the eye. 

          BTW, I’m OLD.

            I will post some instructions soon.  There should be a hover with some text to show what the icons do, but it isn’t there.  Dammit.  The eye is a preview.  So if you are posting images, videos etc, you can get an idea what it will look like live.

          You got a reply to work @Utah that’s great.  This is a pretty major update.  Lots of stuff to consider, check out, test etc.

            I’m sitting here watching a movie. If you want me to do anything, let me know. But, this is 1,000,000 times better than before.

              Yeah just try a bunch of stuff with the new message and reply editor.  Links, images, videos.

                This was an attempt to post a video, but it didn’t work, so now it is an attempt to edit, which is working fantastically.

                I’m an idiot, so I’ll try to post another video.

                  Same thing. I clicked on the video link, the window popped up and I put in the address to a youtube video. I clicked the preview button and the video appeared. I think clicked the submit button and no more video.

                  At least we know the edit works. lol.

          Fixed it.  Trying to get the video thing working and that caused it.  Haha.  Welcome to pandora’s box.

      Ok I think the video function is working.  I removed the video icon from the editor because it isn’t needed.  All you do is just paste in the URL of the video.  That’s it. Here’s an attempt:

      I had to open the thread to see the video from Milton. I could see the link from the homepage, but not watch the video until I opened the thread.

      I may have to work on a setting for youtube videos to allow embeds and such.  Looking into that, but may be tomorrow.

      Damn, that’s a nice uniform. Take off the mountains and add some stripes with the D&F or double “U” or block U. 

      Perfection.
