Ever since there was a change in the visual text editor used to publish stories on Aff, I've been having problems with getting text to look the way I want them to when I publish my fan fiction. I don't post stories very often but it is frustrating whenever I do since the process is 10x longer than before. Is there some sort of guide on Aff for using the new text editor?
Or better, is there an option to use the old text editor? I use to work in plain text and copy and paste a clean HTML script of my stories. It was a quick way to publish them while keeping the text the way I intended (no funny indentations, extra line brakes, weird symbols or missing text formats like bold or italics). Now when I copy and paste I'm forced to used the visual text editor and it messes up the text. Pasting text directly from a word document seems to make things worse.
Another issue: whenever I preview my story there doesn't seem to be an option to go back to the editor to make changes. The only option is to use the back button in a web browser and doing that brings me back to the Add Story page and I need to add all the information again (Title, Summary, Disclaimer, etc). The only way to avoid this is to go ahead and publish the story then edit it later. But sometimes the text is so out of wack that I'd rather just go back and edit before publishing it where readers can see it.
Also, when pasting text the webpage sometimes lags or even freezes. I've tried using Firefox, Opera and Safari (I sincerely hope no one advises me to use IE...)
I couldn't find any discussion on this on the forum so I wasn't sure if these issues have already been answered.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
