If you have been noticing recently, a new editor was implemented on the forum.
The reasoning for such was that:
<ul>
<li>Numerous complaints have been made about a signature bug in the Rin Editor, which was unable to be resolved.</li>
<li>MyBB intends to put forward TinyMCE as the next-generation editor for myBB. So it does make sense to attempt to implement something that myBB is going to eventually implement itself, if things go well later this year.</li>
<li>There was a white space error with quotes, which has been mentioned by several posters, with the Rin Editor.</li>
<li>TinyMCE offers a lot more features and customization than Rin, including being able to upload images directly to the forum, without an image host like imgur, and an auto-formatted table.</li>
<li>TinyMCE is mostly responsive and reasonably fast loading.</li>
<li>There are are a lot more plugins available to modify TinyMCE, as Rin can be limited.</li>
</ul>
The downsides I have noticed, which have convinced me to halt this:
<ul>
<li>New Thread and New Post errors when posting images, and a bug that exists with the image path, which requires a workaround BBCode/MyCode.</li>
<li>While we can add Embed Tags, the Media plugin is not compatible, and gives several errors when trying to embed YouTube videos and the like.</li>
</ul>
Sorry for any disruption this may have caused while this was being implemented.
