*EDIT* The new rich text weblog editor
I hate it!
Why can't we use the rich text-classic weblog editor any more?
That's what I have selected in my weblog editor settings, but it's not showing up when I try to update.
I've even tried selecting the text only version and the new rich text editor keeps showing up.
Does anybody even like the new version?
EDIT
********************
I sent Marc from the Xangateam a message about being locked into using the new rich text weblog editor. Five minutes later I got this response.
Me - Marc, could you tell me why some of us are locked into using the new rich text editor, even tho we hate it? I still have rich text classic selected in my settings but am directed to the new editor when I try to update. I've even selected plain text and keep getting the new one. Some people say they're still using classic and can switch back and forth with no problem but some of us can't. Some members have stopped updating completely out of frustration. I'm about there myself
Marc - Is it working for you now? We've just rolled a fix that should let the older rich text editor work again... Sorry for the painful interim.

@shellisland - Should be fixed now, tho. Can you use the classic editor again?
I thought I was probably the only one who didn't 'get' it. If nothing else, it's good to know I'm not the only one who was having problems! Peace
Hey, Sweet Bud!
Very cool and thanks to Marc.:):)
YAY! I'm glad to know it's fixed!!
You worry me . I posted yesterday with the usual editor . I have just checked it after reading you . It is always the same ,.Thanks God .
I have never followed the new inventions of Xanga . For instance I always have the old private page . Perhaps this may explain I always have the old good editor !!!

@anvilsandedelweiss - It only happened to some of us, Leah. Prolly didn't affect you if you didn't notice anything wrong.
@Pink_TeaCups - @saintvi - @MedicMark - @Roadlesstaken - @murisopsis - @LonerKat - @AMethodToMyMadness -@jsolberg - @grannyinboxers - @vexations - Come over and check it out. The problem with being locked into the new editor should be solved!
i never even noticed anything different. huh
Ever since I hit 70 I hate change.. any change.
@buddly47 - I guess I'm more used to it..the old one was meaner to me =(
No absolutely not!
@Da__Vinci - @carolinavenger - @Hinase - You three seem to be the only ones that like it. Can't for the life of me figure out why, tho?
@jsolberg - That's exactly how I feel about it! There was nothing wrong with the classic editor, the new one is a piece of crap! I'll check with Marc, maybe he knows what the problem is. It only seems to be affecting some of us.
Well, since the word 'hate it' has already been used, I'll say I despise and loathe it. I've stopped posting solely because of my anger at having the Normal Editor replaced with this evil abomination. The supposed link to change back doesn't do a damn thing, not for me at least.
And god help you if you attempt to use it to 'Edit' any older entries: it destroys the colored background and all the careful work you put into details. Please, please keep everyone up to date if you find a cure for this cancer/ JS
I am definitely not a fan of the new text editor. The old one was much easier to use. I have no idea why they changed it when there didn't appear to be any issues with the old version.
@carolinavenger - You're not. I quite like it too.
Sorry =( I never liked the old plain one..I'm glad that they updated..lol I can change back any time..Never had a problem..
I like the fact I can see my pictures before I click submit, and that I can switch between bold and italics at the click of a button, but those are the only things I like about it. I get tired of having to switch back and forth if I want to tag somebody.
huih?
I like it... I guess I'm the only one... meep
I hate it too!! I wanted to share the Jazz CD I was listening to and could not do it. The media sharing button is missing.
It makes me hate change. I still can't figure out the tags and how to put a link to books I'm reading... those features are completely missing. grr.
I have the same issue too! I prefer the Classic. I message Justin about it but still no response on that part. I hope it's just a glitch and they aren't getting rid of it.
I hate it too. The user tags are missing!!!! That pisses me off, because I like to use them when I mention someone in a post. It worked for me to switch to the other editor, though... hmm.
@angi1972 - Beta group is a possibility, or the chat settings have it messed up some how.
Mine is broke too!
Xanga is starting to really suck things up with the new editor and the IM crap.
I don't even know what I'm doing. Haw ha.
Hmmm no worries here... I wonder if your a Beta group... Message Justin... he's the fix it man... Or at least he used to be.
I've been using it since it came out and I haven't had any issues except that it wasn't Chrome compatible till last week or so. Life is change.
@buddly47 - "the machine" is the culprit!! aargh ...
@saintvi - I tried the new one a month ago and did not like it, so I went back to the classic. Classic is still selected in my settings, but the new one loads anyway! Grrrrrrr!!!!!
@Pink_TeaCups - @seedsower - @windupherskirt - @doahsdeer - @puella_sapiens216 - @AuthorSmokyTrudeau - It seems as though only some us have no choice. Hmmmm. Glich in the machine, perhaps?
I have no idea what this means.
I'm a technophobe. But if it has something to do with how you post on Xanga, mine doesn't seem any different.
I want the previous editor back too. I tried changing it but it won't change...
I'll have to look at what you are talking about - when I last posted a few days ago, everything was the same. WHY, OH WHY does there have to be so much change on here all the time????? The technologically non-advanced, such as myself, can't HANDLE change!

I don't understand. I'm still using the rich text-classic editor.
can you switch back?
I hate it. You can't make a section of text (or a photo) stand out by indenting or centering ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE HIGHLIGHTED!!! Grrr - that's why I went back to the old one in the first place!
No! I hate it! Everything is mucked up and you can't do some of the stuff you used to be able to do
Nope!
