Any help is appreciated. I didn't realize how much I depended on that post editing addon until it was gone.

On the Forum homepage look up top under the topics paragrapgh. “HTML Sandbox” should link you to directions for most of your questions. I hope is helpful.

I’ve never seen or heard of the missing post editor. Are you sure it was here? Anyway

I too find it a pita to post here and I already know html basics but don’t always remember every html tag so sometimes I have to go look one up. Regardless of knowing, it is more typing to get things to look how you want.

Solution: Keep another tab open with one of the many free online wysiwyg editors that have the ability to toggle between wysiwyg and source(html view).
Here’s one;

I found it by searching the interwebs like this;
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=online+html+editor+wysiwyg&t=ffab&ia=web

Search term; online html editor wysiwyg

Enjoy!

You EVER saw post editing software for FR?? I’d love that! I just use html when I have to. I’d love a cute little post editing box.

I cannot believe that Firefox users are not aware of this simple trick. Highlight the text you want to copy, right click and click on View Selection Source. Another page will pop up with all the coding in place. Copy and Paste the Highlighted text.

  I'm looking for Free Republic post editing software. I just upgraded to a new computer with the same OS and loaded the Tree Viewer and Quote maker but the post editing software that showed up before no longer does. Being able to add images or just do simple things like bold or italicize a word is huge and frankly common to all forums these days. Anyone have a link to a working post editing addon for Firefox?
