guys PLEASE keep sending feedback about how awful the beta editor is because now wip is blaming us for having blog themes that add padding to posts (they’re kinda throwing theme makers under the bus here lol) as if there aren’t a dozen other issues with the beta editor such as:
- the terrible formatting
- difficulty arranging photos in photosets
- not remembering tags
- not uploading gifs are that between 9.5mb and 10mb
- not being able to edit posts in the drafts folder
- gifs still looking bad on mobile dashboard (so not the blog theme)
- the insanity of shoving every media type into text posts because reasons
we can’t let them get away with replacing the post editor we have with an obviously inferior version of it. please reblog for visibility.
staff has announced that on may 15, they’re forcing everyone to switch to the new beta post editor. this is very, very bad for gifs. @saintalicent made a post detailing the difference between the old and new post editors, but basically the new post editor shoves gifs into a text post and slightly resizes them, lowering the quality of the gifs.
gifmakers are the backbone of this website, and staff needs to be reminded of this. if you’re a gifmaker, please send polite feedback to staff explaining that you don’t want the quality of your gifs to be reduced and that this will negatively affect your experience on this website.
we got them to back off on the gif to mp4 thing last year, and we need them to back off on this. please reblog for visibility.
