Hello!

Today, we are releasing the first version of our new text editor.
For now, the new editor is only active for NEW stories.
Compared to the old editor, this one follows a WYSIWYG (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG) model.

That means you can see what the finished story looks like inside the editor.

More importantly, it also comes with many formatting options (text size, text- and background color, alignment, and much more), all much simpler to use within the editor. You can even post formatted text into it to a certain degree.

We tried to test as much as possible, but with the number of different devices and browsers, please expect to find some bugs or rough edges. If you find them, post them below or open a ticket so we can fix them.

We also ensured that we did not remove any functionality of the old editor, but if we overlooked something, please let us know too.

Once we polish the new text editor, it will replace the current editor for all parts of our site (forum, comments, profile introduction, etc.)

As always, with these updates, you can expect us to closely monitor things and push fixes as fast as possible.

We hope you like the change and are looking forward to your feedback!

Best Regards,
ChatFighters

Many stories that were published are no longer there since this change was put in place. You see headers and intros but no story anymore. this is what you see: https://venus.chatfighters.com/story/71602


Oh man, there are so many stories lost now. So much is just gone.

Please tell me there's a fix in the works for this?

Similar issues with Android phone, can't load anything.

I can save 'nothing" and 1 day of unedited text from the story appears, dispite attempting to load 30 days.

It doesn't work on PC either, it's been like this since Sunday evening at least.

The same happens to me when I try to upload a story from a channel, unsure if it's a glitch or not.

If it doesn't work, why don't you go back to the old one until the new one works properly

Yeah I can’t get it to work either… on iPhone. Same problems as others have shared. Nothing loads.
