Forthcoming new editor for MSDN forums posts

Published 22 March 07 10:35 PM | John D'Addamio 

Have you ever posted on any of the MSDN forums? Did you think the editor was adequate? If not, I have some good news for you. Our team was recently asked to write an improved rich text editor for MSDN forums posts. It will support IE and Firefox browsers. We don't know yet when it will get released because we are contributing it to another team and they will control the actual release. But, when it is released, the new editor should provide an improved experience on both Firefox and IE but I think Firefox users will see the biggest change. We're testing it on both Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 so the most common Firefox versions should behave pretty well.

After it is released, feel free to add bug reports/repros or feature requests as comments here. We need to hear from you to improve it!

About John D'Addamio

I am a Software Design Engineer in Test (SDET) on the Developer Aftermarket Solutions team at Microsoft Corporation. Basically, an SDET is a programmer who specializes in testing other people’s software and/or writing software that is used for testing. I joined Microsoft in 2003 and the Solutions team in 2005. Prior to joining Microsoft, I was a developer and developer lead writing real time software; mostly air traffic control systems. The fun thing about testing is that people are happy when you find a way to break things! I like to balance my high tech work life with low tech activities. So, outside of work, you will probably find me on the back of a horse, doing the maintenance that horses require, or reading a book.
