Toastie Posted November 16, 2010 Folks, when putting together some more elaborate contributions, I would like to switch to "raw BB code" rather than seeing partly interpreted BB code in the editor window. What I am usually doing is composing the forum contribution in text only editors. Then c/p that into the forum editor window. Then I press "preview" and there is the WYSIWYG output. Going back to the editor window and then - pictures are still pictures, lists are just lists. Particularly with the latter or some text ... nested BB Code things are getting easily screwed up. Question: Is there a way to switch to plain text (raw BB code) in the editor window? Best regards, Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siegfried Posted November 16, 2010 Turn off Rich Text Editing, RTE. Click here; it's the fourth control from the bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted November 16, 2010 Personally as a forum user for many many years, if you go without the RTE style for a few days, you'll get used to it and it's all I ever use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toastie Posted November 17, 2010 Personally as a forum user for many many years, if you go without the RTE style for a few days, you'll get used to it and it's all I ever use. Yeah, I completely agree, just doing now. Thanks a lot to both of you for that swift reply - guess I should have paid more attention to the little checkboxes!

I don't even see the code anymore; all I see is styles, images, links... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Cam Posted November 17, 2010 Me too. I don't even see the code anymore; all I see is styles, images, links... Exactly, I'm not alone. I first joined forums back in 2002 and I don't even think they had RTE options back then. Plus for whatever reason I can't get a url link to a picture with the RTE for the life of me.
