Text editor control buttons also at the bottom when needed

[Stuart Wright]

So this is a problem which I think many people have experienced, including myself.
What we love on forums are nice, long posts with plenty of useful content.
But the problem with composing a long post is that when you're a way down the page and you want to format the text, you have to scroll back to the top to find the buttons.

What I propose is that once the top buttons are no longer visible, that a duplicate of the text control buttons appears at the bottom for convenience.

Let's face it, the easier the UI is, the better overall experience people will have on the forum.

And I think maybe, hopefully, it's a relatively trivial thing for the Xenforo team to add.

So if you agree with this idea, please upvote it.

Sounds like a brilliant idea and one that would prove extremely useful - well done for proposing it. More people need to upvote this and like the topic.

the editor is less functional when you make longer more useful posts !



Add one picture and you don’t have access to the editor buttons ! (On mobile)

is there a quick and dirty way to just move the editor to the bottom position?

I don't think so... I just made the trick with CSS but for a normal using it will be more difficult than that, there's JS in it.

Where's @Ozzy47 with the quick and meaningful addon haha

With XF 3 a new editor will be deployed, maybe it will be more effective?
