Editor Selection

In the control panel, there is now a feature setting that lets you select the "editor" for each forum, forum group, or default for the module (remember that you can have forums inherit from groups, and groups inherit from module defaults, so you might only need to set this for the module defaults and it will flow downward):

The default TextBox is very simple and easy to use; however, other options provide more flexibility with formatting and HTML input. While you can also use the Default DNN editor, these additional options support #tags and @usermentions:

Forums-Delivered TipTap editor

DNN CKEditor4 plus Forums plugins

#tags and @usermentions are powered by either our TipTap-based editor or some custom plugins we install for the CKEditor4 HTML editor provided with DNN. We have a new editor option that allows you to select one of these editors instead of the default DNN editor.

If you are upgrading, and it was previously set to Default DNN Editor, it will change to the new DNN CKEditor4 plus Forums plugins option. For new installations, the Forums-delivered TipTap Editor option is the default.
