Please bring back Visual Editor.
Why should we be forced to write everything in code to accomplish an attractive post? With the Visual Editor I could resize my images, recolor my fonts, resize and change the type of fonts I used and get a very good idea of how the final post would appear.
Not having Visual Editor is a giant step backward for SU and brings its potential down drastically. The simple act of resizing a picture will now take minutes rather than seconds and still not know if it is right or not. SU 4 will be fine once we all learn it, but without Visual Editor it will be only a ghost of SU 3 in composing posts.
Please let us have Visual Editor back. We will all appreciate it so much if you will; it is one of the best features of the SU operating system.

Hi there, thank you for trying to make stumble upon better. Changes are always good but I can imagine that you get a lot of resistance from the users. However I want to give my thoughts to the new site too.
1) The visual editor "was" a great tool as I am adding descriptions to my pictures which all are the same size, colour and fond
In the "new" site - my descriptions have funny letters in between, are out of place or have changed colours. I have put a lot of effort in making them all look the same. I am prepared to go through all of them again and change them to the same style - but would need the visual editor.
2) I dont like the fact that the website is shown in the review, as well as the info of how many reviews, when and how review them. This is unecessary information.
3) I have not tried it yet but I hope there is a feature to resize the pictures I am adding as I want them all to be the same size.

This feature needs to come back and I agree with Dynamic-Polarity's comment above: "As this is something under consideration, I would really encourage SU to implement this.
Personally speaking, the visual editor is the "killer app"..it is the only reason I find myself leaving the beta.
This is a great chance to enhance it, and help make photoblogging and formatting easier."

I'll second what dynamic said. the script is awesome. I dont know why stumble doesnt have something like it as default.
having it (or something similar) as default would also decrease me reliance on greasemonkey, which has been known to cause problems for stumble users from time to time.
I’m hopeful

Can you provide a link to the script you are referring to?

I'm sorry to put words in dynamic polarity's mouth but i do believe that he was talking about the script developed by oynxstone

SUEditor and Embedwidgets seem to be the most popular scripts and I think many upset stumblers would post happy faces if this were built in to the new system!

What a shame, that was the only change I liked in the last SU version.

Inappropriate?This is a bad format. It is not spelled out in any way.
I don't see how the someone who isn't signed up would
want to tackle with this complicated format.
This is just awful.
I’m not happy at all
-
Inappropriate?I have absolutely no idea how to edit anything now! Please change back. Please don't tell me stumbleupon will stay like this...........or if it does can you issues step-by-step instructions as I cannot post anything, edit anything now!
Thank you!

Inappropriate?Personally, I am beginning to LOVE V4. It took awhile. Those stark white pages destroyed my eyesight for a few days. It was great to see some color backgrounds today.
I agree with Roby and Dynamic-Polarity. The visual editors were killer!
Pretty please won't you consider some cool scripts to make our Stumble pages the best they can be?
Kind regards to all!

Inappropriate?I really miss the use of the visual editor tool in SUv4. Part of the reason I like SU so much is the creativity factor. Not just as an outlet for myself but to see the creativity of others when they post or review something.
Also, many times I'll post a photo and then want to add a narrative later. Unless I'm missing something (which is possible) this isn't an option right now with v4.
I strongly urge the powers that be to bring it back with the preview option for ease of use.

Inappropriate?Without this feature SU now becomes just a place to store pictures. there is no personality or individuality to it. SU will become a folder. My Blog of stories and notations will be nothing. I will stop using it eventually . I can search for picts using anything. If I cannot find and share stories and special picts with special friends then SU becomes an email transfer station.

There are some brilliant creative souls here and i'm sure they could improve the overall appeal of SU

Inappropriate?I'm afraid, everyone posting to this thread is missing the point. The question is not whether the Visual Editor will be brought back, but whether or not it will be possible to use html codes in V4 at all. I've tried it - no use. Once you make the slightest change in the text (say, add a word), all formatting disappears completely. What we should actually ask for is not the Visual Editor (the basic codes that it saved us the trouble knowing are easy to learn) but the possibility to use html at all.

I have found that my html codes are not transferring to V4.

Whenever you complete a post in V4, always hit the 'F5' key afterwards to refresh the screen and see what your post really looks like.
-
Inappropriate?Sorry but the title says "Bring back Visual Editor".
However, I don't have the same problem as you, I am using TONS of code on my page.
Have you updated to the v4 toolbar? You might be bugged. If you want to PM me I can try and help you figure it out :)
I’m happy.

You're so right html codes not working. One of the many reasons I've thrown up my hands and stopped adding to my site. Although I don't work for SU, can you please PM me, as I like pretend that I'm important in public forums to make up for my seriously compromised self esteem, plus it's te only way I know to make friends, although they don't last very long.

There is no need trying to change yhe title of the page we shuold just follow the rule without any unnecessary post

huh? I don't want to change the title of the page... I want the preview button back....

Not only for those who are lazy but also for those who care how their pages look, or want to preview a post prepared with a visual editor elsewhere, which almost always needs tweaking for SU's own format requirements.
I think it is unconscionable of SU not to provide one. -
Inappropriate?please forgive me if this has been answered before, but why are they getting rid of the visual editor, and when is this going to happen?1 Comment Add a comment

There is no visual editor in v4.
We don't know "why" for sure but I would guess that they are just trying to simplify the Stumbleupon features. It may also be that statistically they found it was not used often enough *shrug* those are both guesses...
I just want a flipping preview button... that is all.. just that one button... -
Inappropriate?616 people like this idea, what say you SU? Any chance I can have my preview button back??

1075 was enough to get the Similarity Meter back, so 631 might be enough to bring this back (BTW, I'm neutral, as I've never used the Visual Editor.)
-
having used WYSIWYG editors as far back as Classic SU, I suspect many people have made use of third party extensions, the limited amount of tweaking I find time to do I find using the limited html I've learned here is enough - however previewing my attempts to embed links etc in all SU 'boxes' would be great, save me having to apologise and resend PM's for example when I've slipped and let a typo make a mess of the code.
-
I can't use SUE, I write my code by hand... its a habit. The SUE just breaks what I do so I really want a plain old preview button.. I'd be kewl with it being a GM addon tho... any takers??
-
a preview button is commonplace enough on t' webs, you'd think it was something revolutionary

Inappropriate?It's great Users like Onxystone and a foresthippy have the genius to do the heavy lifting, and I for one salute their efforts.
The problem remains that not all Users are web savvy enough to install greasemonkey scripts, and some poor souls use IE.
Stumbleupon is failing them, and putting road blocks in the way of average Users stepping up and growing into more effective members of the community.

Inappropriate?Thank you Charles - I did not know. Well, I guess I was too quick with my praise and I would love to take it back now. I just hope that the SU team comes up with something (for everyone) quickly.
SU needs to understand that people not just want to stumble but to also build nice sites for everyone to enjoy. I take a lot of pride in my "favourite" blogs and want them to look great, which means that I also put a lot of my time and effort in it.
However, I really hope that the SU team will re-consider and makes the visual editor available to everyone!!!!!!
