What happened to the ICODE button in C/C++? Could you please add it back, and on the quick reply, too? It would be nice to have a keystroke for it, also. Pretty pleaseeee???

Jump to PostSorry about that ... I was trying to fix something and ended up breaking it. Unfortunately I can't add an accesskey. Sorry.
Jump to PostvBulletin's editor is the one part of their system that I think is poorly coded. It relies on multiple javascript files with a lot of its elements hard coded in multiple places. Every time I've tried to make any change to it, I ended up breaking something else with it.

I'm curious as to why? Can't a keystroke be added the same as a ^B or ^I?

Apparently vBulletin agrees, and the new version of vB (currently in beta, that we're waiting on switching to) includes an editor that, while functioning the same, was rewritten from the ground up behind the scenes.

Dani, could you please add ICODE to the quick reply, too? I answer many questions in the QR box and would like to format there, before previewing the message. Then we don't have to run around highlighting all the ICODE pieces and maybe miss one.

Didn't know adding an icon had the same problem, esp since you added it on the other input box. OK.
Seems to be somewhat of a hacked system if you ask me...

It's a built-in vBulletin feature to add custom icons to the regular editor.
