Hi storm2,

I would like to thank you for enabling the visual editor on this Wiki. I have been testing and experimenting with it the last few minutes.

It is certainly more interesting and looks more fun to use than the classic editor, but I have noticed a few bugs/ and performance issues.

1) Loading the editor is pretty slow - can take up to 30 seconds maybe to fully load the Visual Editor. At first I thought it was my connection being slow, and everytime I refreshed the page I received a pop up from the wiki along the lines of "error receiving data from this wiki. Reload the page?". This was just me not giving it enough time to load.

2) Linked words can not be pasted into the Visual Editor - as I am editing the opening paragraph of the levels articles, I have certain words like Jelly level and Sugar Crush linked to its appropriate page. To save time I simply copy and paste with the words linked already, but when pasting a linked word into the Visual Editor I have to re-link it. It is a minor annoyance but a fix would be nice.

3) Publishing an edit can take a while, it can be unclear if it is just processing the changes or if the page has frozen.

For the moment I'll continue using the classic editor, mainly to prevent having to link the words again on every edit, but I hope this feedback is useful :). Look forward to using it in the future!
