RAW buttons are non-obvious

  • Had to look at the code to figure out why RAW was showing up on posts - there is no tooltip or anything explaining it other than a single word. Thought initially maybe it was an indicator that the post could be rendered without formatting or something.
  • It doesn't show up as a button or change the cursor when you mouse over it.
  • Unless you're looking at the console, clicking it seemingly does nothing.
  • Position within a post is dependent on whether or not the post has a channel tag. For posts without one, it's positioned on the right side. For posts with a channel tag, the RAW is pushed to the left and no longer lines up with anything.

Oh yeah, this was mainly because I was debugging something related to threads, forks and replies. I fixed a few things there. I've always liked the ability to view the raw message in clients. And agree that all of the points above would make it a lot easier.

So...a question. What does RAW view do that right-clicking the message and going to "View source" does not?

Lol true, I totally forgot about that :) Will remove

Sounds good. Easier to remove redundancy than fix it. :)
