Visual text editor?

Hello,

In some sites, when you type and make it bold (for example) it will appear bold in the text box. With this forum text box, you just see the codes like [bold] (HTML editor). Is there a way to get a visual editor?

Also, what are the appearance capabilities of turning HTML on for a post?

Hello,

Yes, you can do it on your forum.
Please navigate to Admin CP > General > Messages & Emails > Configuration > Activate extended message editor : 'Yes'
Also set Activate the WYSIWYG mode by default in the posts : 'Yes'

Now Save the changes

Thank you.

When making a post, can I choose whether to use the visual or the HTML editor?

Yes, you can.
You can hit the 'A/A' button on the top-right corner of the reply box to toggle between editor modes.

Thank you. That must explain why I was still seeing codes.

But I only see this icon:

AA

And that changes the size of the text

No, there is a 'A/A button there which toggles between extended editor modes.
