Correction:
  • New CKEditor has been in vBulletin for more than a year
  • It is a MyFlyerTalk individual opt-in option to activate, meaning that a user has to go in and change their settings, it's not automatically turned on for anyone.
  • The new editor is more in line with 2016 editor standards, is a full WYSIWYG and comes with an AUTO-SAVE, which is definitely a nice to have feature.
  • Eventually, instead of automatically setting the old editor as the default for brand new members, we will default them to the new editor - because most new users don't know how to format correctly with bbcode and are expecting certain base-level functionality - like CNTRL+B to Bold.

This isn't as scary as it sounds, nor are the old editors ever going away. This is an option available to those who want a more modern editor. If they love the current old format editor - great, its still available.
