Order of letter formatting buttons

Post by TuckJohn »

Right now, when editing a post, the order of the buttons above the text box is

Code: Select all

(B)(i)(u)(Other buttons)(strike)
when It should be

Code: Select all

(B)(i)(u)(strike)(Other buttons)
As strike is just another type of letter formatting and should be next to the other letter formatting tools.
Also, while I'm on it, I would recommend changing the label of the button from (strike) to s.

1. The additional buttons are not configurable like so, they are added to the end. To change it someone needs full access to the server. If you give me a better reason I can try to make this a higher prio. :)
2. I won't change it to "s", cause nearly everything here is like in HTML and otherwise it is unclear, what "s" should mean (and old text cannot be interpreted anymore if I change it now).
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

1. Oh yeah- I can see that. for some reason I had thought that you guys (mods) had more control over the order of the buttons. :P
2. Perhaps it can be changed to str? right now it seems really inconvenient to have to type "strike" inside brackets. I donno though, I might be just be really lazy or something. ;)
Also- another thing that I would like to change is for the work "strike" (or whatever is in the box) to have a strikethough, just like underline and italic have their effects.

"Strike" is HTML standard. "Str" is for me "String"... or "Street"...
How often are you striking stuff? And why don't you use the buttons: Mark text, move the mouse to the "strike"-button and press it.

I'll look if that is possible the next time I do admin-stuff.

I guess str does normally stand for string (I program a lot). Whenever I need to strike something (usually a rant that was promptly called false) I look for a letter with a strike though it located by the other buttons that do similar things.
