Re: Text Formatting Bar Suggestions  

Please add Link/URL icon to add hyperlinks to referenced sites.

Please add [BlockQuote] function. This is something I often used under the old system to indicate I'm quoting someone...

Direct quoting other posts, if possible.

Insert option for media (photo, video, audio, gifs, screengrab)

Formula formatting, if possible.

Signature, please

  At least the features there was (even if hidden) before IT Team stripped them off, please.
  I really feel the need of a link creation icon (the write-url-yourself method works 1 time of 10, and 0 to 10 when copy/pasting) with text editing fields not black-on-black, if possible (I'll buy black-light goggles, if not possible ;-)).
  Worth noticing I'm not asking to implement something new as, I'm sure, the current framework is very full of editing features (nicely exposed by the good @nihylum de), even if disabled.

The actual implementations remove markdown entirely. I strongly recommend to let the user decide what is used and provided a switch to a markdown editor that allows a proper markdown syntax (markdown + markdown-extra + custom tags for quoting with references + latex math notation).

The WYSIWYG Editor (this is what we currently can use) should also allow expressing math equations (using latex math or whatever is considered as good), should provide a quotation interface for previous replies, code and external resources, maybe github gists.

The editor should also add a guessed names list for name notations (triggered by an @) to ease to mention someone.

I agree: that's why, in all my posts, I refer to other persons as @<full_profile_name>: maybe, in the future, all these meta-references will be correctly replaced by @<link_to_profile> as someone is currently doing, by hand, at now.

P.S.
welcome back, @nihylum de :-)
