PLEASE change the New Reply system

The new reply system is absolute crap. Not the first time i am complaining and i am sorry for if i complain too much.

Why it is crap?

1. If you copy a text the whole font style get copied.

2. Hyper linking a text is the most difficult thing to do now. First we have to write the text then we have go back to select it and then add the link. You always have to add one extra letter before selecting the text to be hyperlinked else the next letter also get linked... in short bizarre :doh:. Hope you are clear else i can add explanation.

3. You always have to make the hyperlinked text bold else you can't differentiate which one is hyperlinked and which one is simple text.

These are the few reason....

I think some screenshots would be helpful. :loco:

I think, for the 1st problem we already have an answer in this current system. There is "Remove Format" button which removes formatting styles I think. I never tried it, but just a suggestion, take a look at it.

2nd issue is a big problem for frequent thread posters. (Not me :p)

I agree with arn on 3rd issue and it is very important to make hyperlinks look separate from normal text.

Well... the reply system is default one from Vbulletin and I can not downgrade to lower versions of Vbulletin due to security issues.

Still I will check if some Mod or addon is there which can help us.

Also, changing URL colors may be possible in themes but I need to check that out too.

IN short, I will do what I can to fix issues. For time being, Sam suggestion of removing format can be tried.

I don't have a problem with any of the three that Arnab mentioned, but was there a different reply system in place that I can't remember? :huh:

Ok. I use this method to highlight url.

(for those who don't know)

1. Type or copy the link you want

2. Highlight it and click on the Globe icon with the chain (hyperlink)

3. Copy and paste the url and click ok. Now click on the "A" icon and select colour of your choice. I use Blue because usually links are given in blue

hope this helps

Firstly not everybody will do it and secondly what about those who don'r use hyperlinks and just paste the links... even pasting the links also changed. We don't get normal urls instead it automatically turns into hyperlinks.

Ban them :evil: :ban: :heh:

I just tried everything I can and looks like I cant change the color unless full forum colors are messed up with. I have left a comment to theme author at Vbulletin theme thread. I will get back to it if I get a reply there.

Thanks you all for the useful info, and thanks Ash and Avi for trying to get the problem fixed and your suggestions. One of the issues I have is sometimes if I try to copy and paste a URL or even text the whole reply gets highlighted when I right click and you cannot paste without messing up your whole post. For Alpha's recent review, I tried to copy and paste his review that he sent, but when I did, the whole article got jumbled up and it took me a very long time to format and fix it to the way Alpha wrote it. I never seemed to have these problems before until recently. There may be nothing that can be done at this point if it is vBulletin issue.

The link color is changed now, but it came with sitewide color change. May be you wont notice.

It's noticeable avi bro. Thanks for the update :)

Thanks avi :thumb:

Thank you Avi
