Just make sure that a quote inside a quote is automatically removed. Quote trees are a crime against humanity.

On question: is it BBcode? Will we even have the possibility? I need it back.
it is not BBcode, but it *is* a possibility. i just can't promise it for release since there are more critical things that need to be done. at the very worst it'll be similar to newpunch (this one you're using right now)
If I can make an observation regarding losing users, we may actually see some return that have been gone for awhile. I recall that there were quite a few people who joined when Newpunch was launched that they were perma'd on the old site, but lurked anyway. Just my 2 cents, I know it's probably unrealistically optimistic, but I think there are still people who care. Maybe just not for the forums as they are now (which in many respects is understandable).
I've missed quote trees, people call them ugly, I call them functional.
Maybe we should collapse large ones, and have a button to expand them
I'm really not a fan of pure WYSIWYG like what we currently have on Newpunch. I'd much prefer something like Markdown.
The problem with WYSIWYG systems is that they all operate differently than what people are used to, AND one another. So you end up with something that, instead of being intuitive, is just a whole other set of quirks that you need to memorize and sometimes they're just fucky in general <- I don't want this, I want a hyphen <- I typed "6." and a space, but this is what it gives me
Markdown is fucking retarded. I'd take bbcode over it any day as at least that has clear understandable structure. Doesn't help every other fucking site using markdown uses their own spin on it so something that should do one specific thing doesn't do the same thing on another site that uses it (HELLO DISCORD).
I'd prefer BBcode (with a Markdown option) but I'd much prefer Markdown over pure WYSIWYG like Newpunch currently forces on you. But let's be honest here, BBcode is largely dead, look up references for implementations and you're look at lots of link-rot, and way outdated shit. Markdown is the future, for better or worse.
literally contemplated suicide yesterday, went to bed, had a dream/nightmare about this and tried it out today https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/326417/5cc8fea5-17cb-4908-827e-cc453561e0c2/image.png almost there friends
Whilst I appreciate that some people might not like Markdown, "fucking retarded" is a bit of an exaggeration. The basic syntax is clear and understandable, I mean that's the whole idea behind Markdown and why it's so popular, even if you open it in plaintext it's really easy to understand and read. The majority of sites parse the basics of Markdown all the same, and by the basics I mean titles, bold/italic/strikethrough, order/unordered lists, quotes, tables, code tags, images and links. It's when you start to get into things like MathML, emojis via tags, and other things that are more "additions" to Markdown where some sites do it differently. The only advantage I can see that BBcode has over markdown, is that BBcode can do more in terms of formatting (e.g. colors, alignment), but I don't think Facepunch supports those parts anyway. Other than that, Markdown is ubiquitous, and BBcode is pretty much dead as Glitchvid said.
live from inacios web development-damaged mind we can actually display posts made using this aberration https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/326417/c8e679b3-d97f-4cb2-81f3-4b7e4f01e5f8/image.png
i believe in you when you get this working, count me in
Dude @Inacio if the site needs an app, let me know. If newpunch closes, we can use my new app as a template.
everything is on an open JSON api so i hope it'll be easy to do that
Sweet, how about login? Is that purely session based, or JWT?
So when are you going to gamify the forum with coins? Honestly, I would've liked to see where Newpunch could've taken the coin economy, there were ideas for minigames and other fun gimmicks, tied into coins.
JWT atm i think coins were a fun but unexplored idea too, but dont expect them to be added any time soon as there are a lot of other important things to add suggestions on uses for coins?
Blackjack and Poker! ... This was meant to be a joke, but actually, that might be fun. (Although I have no idea of the legality of gambling imaginary money)

(watch with max volume, it came out really quiet - no, it's not a screamer or anything) https://streamable.com/inydw yes. i got quotes to work. it was insane. i had never tried to customize a rich text editor before, so this was a very humbling experience https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/326417/614248ad-3c35-447e-ab7a-f299229fa858/image.png time to polish it. next: adding ratings
Zing or bust tbh.
We are impatiently waiting for this forum to come online so we can abandon this broken POS, you better have it ready by march first or else you are thy poopyhead
