It seems that if you want to use the tag, you need to switch to the basic editor: see https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/29094969-post822.html.

If you paste the whole of the EF-generated code into the basic editor's text entry box, it will reproduce as intended because the tag still works there. For example:-

Edit: But now the editor is different than before (the update). I now need to know every code. I really don't like this update!!

Join the club! In over 15 years of involvement with FlyerTalk, this is the first time I have ever had cause for serious complaint about the way in which something has been implemented here. It seems notable that complaints have also come from a number of other long-time members, including some who hold positions in the FT hierarchy.For me, that's now very difficult to use (although historically it has been my preference). In addition, IB has expressly said that it will no longer support the standard editor.

I can't use it either. So I'll go back to the advanced editor and not be able to provide any ExpertFlyer information anymore to fellow Flyertalkers due to the bug mentioned upthread. It's sad...

Is this FT's way of telling me my handle is too long?

Thank you for bringing back the ‘new posts’ shortcut in the mobile forum interface after it went MIA after the update.

column misalignment
The columns (Last Post; Threads; Posts) at the far right of a page do not always line up correctly.
(They were OK in the past.)
Will this be fixed?
