[Added] Add full BBcode editor to trade settings

[cloven]

Currently when you go into your trade center settings, these are the options you get.

All BBcoding works, but there are no options like there are in the full editor options (when posting on forums)

So the main issue is not having a BBcode toolbar in trade settings

These options are available on forums, messaging, and for designing your signature. When experimenting with complicated coding in my trade settings, I currently copy the code from a comment post wip.

While BBCode is easier to memorize with things like underlining, quoting, or bolding, font colour is something particularly hard to memorize. I think it would be handy for new players too! Mobile players also have a harder time typing on small screens and on smaller, digital keyboards (which I personally also struggle with, too)

Trade rules also change a lot and are unique to each user, so having the toolbar would make customizing this page much more accessible

As a solution, I simply suggest adding a bar with the coding options above the text box
(like for full editor on posts/pms/signatures)

(The image above is edited to only demonstrate my suggestion)

In sum: add the BBCode toolbar to the trade center settings page

I know this is small, but it would help me and other players who are new to/struggle with coding to have the same tools in their trading settings that already exist on other parts of the site!

To support, please comment “support” and fill out the poll above!

If you have any specific questions, concerns, experiences regarding this suggestion, please comment them. I want to know people’s thoughts regarding this :)

Support! I've noticed this alot & while I have coding down for the most part, it would make trade rules much easier to write out!

I’m glad people agree! I like to code by experimenting with what works, so it’s hard to try things without these tools handy!

Yep, complete Support: +1
(+ Also for Trade Msg's...! )

BBCode Toolbar is available for 'Forum' + 'PM' + 'Sig', but BBCode also works for 'Trade Settings' (= 'Trade Rules') and Trade Msg's, a bit "strange" that the Toolbar is not present on those 2 Pages..., as it's "pretty obvious" even for new Users after receiving/sending 2 Trades after joining the Site (and checking the Trade Rules of their Trade Partner and noticing some "fancy" Formatting there) that BBCode "works" in 'Trade Rules'...

(I had already made the Sugg (about Trade Msg's) in 2016 btw, 5 years ago already, oops...!)

100%- I didn’t notice it for trade messages as much because I don’t use coding much there, but these are definitely helpful and definitely go hand in hand! Trade rules came to me first simply because I use them more/do complex formatting. I’ll go over and support your idea as well!! I hope these changes can be added some day for more accessibility!

Edit: just went and supported the trade message suggestion <3

Yep, I would say the "full BBCode Toolbar" for 'Trade Settings', and maybe like I had suggested in 2016, a "simplified" Toolbar for Trade Msg's, with only/at least: ']quote[' + ']img[' + ']url[', ... + maybe 'Bold'/'Italic'/'Underline', but that's it, I'm not "waiting" to receive Trade Msg's in Pink or Yellow or Lettersize=85 or smaller, ah-ah...!, as I would cancel those directly without even trying to read, ah-ah...!

I would definitely use this! My trade rules are pretty bland because I'm only knowledgeable in VERY basic bbcode, so this would be a huge help.

For sure! I’m also rusty hahah. My only solution atm is to make a reply on a forum post, mess around until I get my trade rules how I want, and then copy and paste it into my trade center… but that seems like a lot more work than it should be

Quickly bumping! I’d love to hear people’s thoughts

Support - if BBcode already works there's not... rly any good reason I could think of to NOT have the editor options in trade settings also.

My thoughts exactly- trade setting codes are super important too bc they’re unique to each user and are meant to be personalized^^
