WYSIWYG editor doesn't work in Chrome

[MaXimus]

I tried copy/pasting a post, which has links, formatting, and a picture

In Pale Moon/Firefox, everything gets copied with the hyper links, formatting, and the image

but in Chrome it just pastes plain text

I always thought it's a Chrome issue

now I tried in chrome, to copy a similar post but from a vBulletin 4 forum and that works perfectly!

so why doesn't it work with vB3?

is there anything I could do to make it work?

I tried this (http://helloiamchris.com/vbulletin-3-6-wysiwg-editor-for-chrome-browsers/)

But after adding the following, when accessing my site I get a syntax error on line 5024 which is:

if (strpos($useragent, ‘chrome’) !== false)
{
preg_match(‘#(chrome)( browser)?/([0-9\.]+)#’, $useragent, $regs);
$is['firebird'] = $regs[3];

if ($regs[1] == ‘chrome’)
{
$is['chrome'] = $regs[3];
}
}

=======================

I think this is line 5024:

preg_match(‘#(chrome)( browser)?/([0-9\.]+)#’, $useragent, $regs);
$is['firebird'] = $regs[3];

It's always been that way. I don't know that you can do anything about it.

I wish Chrome's WYSIWG worked with vB3 then I can switch to it :(

Chrome/webkit wasn't a really good rendering engine back then. In fact, I remember having a conversation with the developers at the time. They had spent 8~ hours doing everything imaginable to get WYSIWYG support to work. But couldn't. Everyone else at the time came to the same conclusion. Thus, wysiwyg support was abandoned.

Actually, about 6 months ago, I installed this extension for Chrome and WYSIWYG worked like a charm on vBulletin3 but now Google has banned it! I don't know why the heck! :(

oh darn! I forced install the extension, but it doesn't work like before. It did work perfectly before :(

I wonder why no web developer thought of making such a useful extension or in this case, continuing to support it :(
