Yeah. I saw redactor.Any new reasons since last time?

Shawn of DP actually suggested at another site a very sweet editor as a replacement for TinyMCE, Redactor. I'd love to see something like that as a replacement to what we have now.
Well, that happens when you don't keep up I guess.Couple of threads here on XF that talk about it, too.
I think Redactor is among the category of light wysiwyg editors so can't really be compared with TinyMCE or CKeditor. I'm still waiting a professional developer confirms it is a opened as the two big ones. Now Redactor will be a nice solution on mobile devices but still need to be optimized: to put text in color you need to select text first, which is a mess on mobile devices.Yeah. I saw redactor.
What browser are you using? I'm with Firefox on a 2006 laptop and I don't have any speed issue...Just did it, and it became really laggy.
Use css to fix this...Window smileys should be show down low not because it is hidden.
Always have to move the cursor down the Internet and back into the opening smileys.
Overview of the various tabs on the mouse, or previews in forums, open "popup" instantly, it should mark some time with the mouse to open the "popup".

I can see it being something like Facebook privacy controls...a very small list of items that you can change.I agree it is extremely powerful and yes there needs to be a "Permissions for Dummies" setting for those of us that don't need to go as in-depth as others may.
Good ideas
What's a UG wiki ?
Even better, having pre-defined settings that select all the correct permission settings, and if you want to customize you can go into advanced mode and change them.I can see it being something like Facebook privacy controls...a very small list of items that you can change.

My demonstration was for quick setup of permissions. Obviously, if Registered users have permission to view/post/etc, the other groups would, as well, since, every logged in member should already be a member of that group. If you have more fine-grained needs for your forum, you would use the advanced mode.Yeah, you're doing it wrong.
"Registered" is anyone that's logged in. So you assign permissions to that usergroup for things you want any logged-in user to be able to do. Then you have other usergroups which ADD permissions. I have usergroups whose only purpose is to grant view/post/etc privileges for a node.
Forums really don't need advanced or complicated (fancy) editors, we're not writing and designing website articles here, we're posting simple messages (at least 99.99% of the time). Although I wouldn't even want these editors to write website articles as I prefer to write the HTML and CSS myself. Editors that produce the code to make it 'easier' for the author, spew out horrendous code, and TinyMCE is no exception to this. Redactor seems to work better as I try it on their site, and it's probably hard to make a worse editor than TinyMCE, but to be sure I would have to fully test it for a longer period and with the XF integration.I think Redactor is among the category of light wysiwyg editors so can't really be compared with TinyMCE or CKeditor.

Good integration is definitely important, even better is not having to integrate and write the whole thing yourself. Start simple, add more in future releases. Allow admins to disable/enable/add editor functionality. I want to add that my hate towards TinyMCE is perfectly justified.Last thing: most important than the editor is its integration. XenForo TinyMCE integration is really good (better that what I've see on Wordpress) and can be improved. If KAM can do the same with Redactor and this editor is as opened as the existed one, let's change it. It still doesn't imply to "hate" TinyMCE, but we already have this conversation.

Related: Brogan has been maintaining the help file that has full of all sorts of FAQ items, installation instruction, etc. But I forget how to find it half of the time. There's isn't a link to it from the forum. You have to go back to xf.com and click help from there. And it certainly could be expanded, but only a handful of people have permission to edit it.
