Site Updates - New Editor, Wiki Histories And More

We've rolled out some new code onto the site. Help us make sure it works!


Editing a hamburger was never easier.

This is just a quick note from the engineering team to alert everyone to some new features we've added to the site in the last week. Here's the quick list:  

  • A brand new WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor.
  • Wiki histories and rollback functionality for moderators.
  • Slightly modified the Private Message's UI to include more GMAIL like abilities.
 
We're most excited about our new editor which took a whooping 4 months of Ethan's development time. Considering we built the entire Giant Bomb website in a shorter period it only makes that fact even crazier for us to admit. Using this new editor should not only be a more consistent experience on our sites, but now allows you to edit Wiki articles in-page rather than in a popup. If you notice any bugs please report your browser (including version) and OS combo along with a screenshot. Editors can be extremely finicky with certain combos so the more information you can report to us the better.
