The Category "Support" and the "Rich-Text-Bracket"-Problem

Other Website and services
1

Hello,

This is my third post in the support-category. There are required checkboxes under “Requirements” below. I wanted to check some of them in the first two posts, but I couldn’t do it.

The problem is, if you are writing a post you are first landing in the “Rich-Text”-mode and you are NOT able to check them. You had to switch to “Markdown”-mode with the left upper button (The big A) and then you are able to set a x in the brackes below.

Is this intended or a bug?

Me as a new user in this forum was surprised.

With regards

Stevan Tiefert

The forum was upgraded recently, and the old editing interface that defaulted to Markdown mode seems to have been replaced with a “rich text” mode by default. The template has been there since before the upgrade.

Changing the default is something the admins will have to decide whether to do, but I understand your confusion. It’s not intentional; it was just designed for the old version.

Unfortunately, Discourse is too busy engaging in trend activism to allow regular people to create issues on their forge:

We would have to reach out to them to resolve it or wait for a PR that fixes it. Otherwise, one of the admins would need to investigate if a setting could fix the issue.
