So the Discourse update has arrived.

For those like myself who prefer the older style editor, you can get it back with this button in the editor toolbar:

 ![Toolbar editor toggle](https://forum.xojo.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/8/58189347f7b52535928b855c9e5a5f698c9bc5f5.png)

This button is labelled as a toggle for a rich editor view. The new editor is a little more WYSIWYG, but I still prefer the Markdown editor (and the ability to write in markdown 🙃)

Hopefully this helps save at least one person some frantic searching.

Best wishes,  
Tim

Not to mention that the new editor seems to have problems on iOS. For some reason, when I start a new reply it lets me type two words and automatically adds a line ending.
