An excellent point raised in the testing ground...

An excellent point was raised in the testing ground which I will paste here.

Emoticon support looks very neat and I like how it's done except for the continuous flashing in the preview screen as I type this. That is rather annoying.

I know it's probably down to the refreshing of the live preview every time a new character is added, however when you embed an iframe or an image, it repeatedly reloads. It's probably a tech limitation of how the live preview works, but, just wanted to create a discussion on it.

Yes, this is an issue we've noticed, but a solution is harder to come by than expected.

You'll notice that Ghost suffers from this as well. The post editor (which eerily looks like ours :wink2:) refreshes every time a character is typed.

We've implemented a throttler, at least, so the preview doesn't refresh until you stop typing (more or less)...

Edit: Wow, a whole bunch of people popped in after I posted.

Upon inspection, it does seem that the images aren't re-added every time something is typed... that's neat, I wonder how they do it...

@julian you've got a cult following.

The issue with it not updating until you stop typing is sometimes when typing emoticons is the preview looks like :laughi while the composer has the full code, so sometimes it's a bit out.

I've heard they're nice guys, could be worth asking them?

Edit: Since when did the quote include the topic title. Ha

I was actually just rambling to myself while typing and wasn't really trying to make a point. BUT let's pretend I was

@a_5mith if you are quoting from a different topic it puts in a link to that topic but it was using the old format which is fixed now. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1840
