Greetings & Salutations SB, 
In BLF's previous incarnation, we could select in Settings whether we wanted to use the Advanced Post Editor or the Simple Post Editor by default when posting.
Any chance of bringing this setting back? As right now there is no choice, & the default is the Simple Post Editor.
Thank you Very Much for all you are doing for us. GREATLY Appreciated.
Best Regards,
George
I feel bad adding to SBs workload but links are not posting properly like they used to with the new software 
an example
Ok, a made a little change. It seems to fix the links, but I’m not sure if there will be other side effects.

Pretty picture:
Common boilerplate side effects from treatments include nausea, dry mouth, headache, dizziness. :GRADE:
Nope, sorry. If I fix links with dashes in them I end up breaking other more important functions like posting images.
Simple URLs usually work still: New Arrivals for - The Greatest Discount on Top Quality Products at Banggood
The best way to post those long ugly URLs is by using link text like this.
why did it work before but not now?
It’s never worked correctly since the upgrade. I tried a way to fix the links, but it broke posting images.
In what way did the fix break images? It seems like automatically picking out images should be easy since the string starts with a “!” symbol.
i meant before the upgrade
It’s different code now after the upgrade, and there is an unfixed bug which will probably never get fixed.
I don’t see the ability to quote the OP on your list.
Is that not possible?
Otherwise it is a PITB re-creating the original text, like I did above.
Or trying to decipher what the OP is talking about, as in the previously mentioned: Please tell me the DIFFERENCE in these Flash Lights
The fix requires filtering for links that start with http:// before interpreting the “Textile” markup format. So it ends up seeing a Textile marked-up image link that looks something like… !<a href="http://example.com/image.jpg">! … which is wrong for Textile.
Unfortunately no.
The simplified syntax for links or images may have varying results… but writing them as regular HTML consistently works. And I greatly appreciate the way the forum allows HTML in posts; it can really make a huge difference in how expressive the posts can be.
I treat BLF’s Textile (simple post editor) format as basically the same as HTML, except that newlines get converted to <br /> tags so it’s not necessary to manually put in all the paragraph or linebreak tags. And I don’t need to remember yet another markup language in order to post here, since I can just use standard HTML. Oh, and the Textile quote tag… I use that one too. Very useful.
Most comments are fine with no extra markup, or with only images and links, maybe even light use of italic or bold. These are all pretty simple in HTML. It’s nice having the option to get fancier though, on occasion.
what?
are these forum software people on glue?
headache, dizziness and nausea are the least of their concerns >:-/
