The purpose of forums is to discuss problems with the question of allowing us the choice to opt for the classic editor and the reason why we aren’t being given that option. The new updates alas give us nothing except what has already been decided. And is apparently as immutable as stone.
Apparently we’re going to be given the amazing feature of “alphabetized” tags …. while being deprived of the ability to use “revisions”. Why do you suppose so many people are frustrated?
Remember of course that even to access these forums reguires an astonishing amount of legerdemain. “Forums” is not easy to locate, even if one is aware that this feature exists at all.
We few people posting here and asking for choice … are the tip of a huge iceberg. WordPress is well aware of this. From skewing their “data” by channeling people directly to the new edtions, they can claim people are “happy” with it. Bu shutting down features, they can rely that most people will just grumble and carry on. This is pretty well wired to quell dissent.
And of course if a poster eventually becomes provoked by topic diversions and complains about them … then the thread is closed.

asking the question again
Hi there, I actually asked @lizthefair a question on the now locked account and it was never answered. I am not familiar with how this works here, but I would have assumed that a questioned asked directly towards a happiness engineer would have been answered or at least acknowledged.
It might have been overlooked due to the fast moving and off topic-ness of the thread, but I do know that staff members were removing comments. This question was not removed, but it was not answered either. I would appreciate an answer, thank you so much :)
@lizthefair – are any of the Happiness Engineers going to take our complaints more seriously? This has 30 pages and a poll with over 1000 responses, stating that the old editor button needs to come back as a default.
Why can’t this be done? I am a developer myself, and there is no reason why that button cannot be put back.
I would also love to have a reason why the link cannot be put back as well.
thank you so much for taking the time and attention to respond to my query.

Many that posted in the closed thread about how easy it is to reinstate the quick access button were web developers or computer techs. So we know for certain that the solution is simple and possible.
The archives of unresolved threads on this question going back a year are staggering, most links lead to pages of threads about the same technical problems, none of them fixed:

People ask questions, I answer them, they complain I didn’t answer the questions they didn’t ask.
And here I was, thinking about volunteering here again. I’m out.

@raincoaster, I am asking the Happiness Engineers the question. Please see the subject line of this thread. thank you for your answer, I am not complaining about your answer, but unless you are a Happiness Engineer, the question was not directed towards you.
please do not take offense

-
thank you again, @raincoaster, but I am sure that there are others here who would like to see the answer. Happiness Engineers do post here.

as some people like to say, I won’t be bullied into silence. I will ask here. Sorry to disappoint.
-
It is not we who have the expectations of response, so it is not we who will be disappointed.
-
@cbiancardi I’m also awaiting a response. Which is the purpose of this thread. There’s an “unaswered question” and some of us here are asking it.
