The overall feedback has been positive. Specifically, a number of people have highlighted how adding images has become considerably easier.

In addition, some Rosetta (non-English) forums are already successfully using the block editor, including Russian, Swedish, and Dutch. Before rolling out the block editor in the remaining Rosetta forums, we will first test it in a single RTL (right-to-left) language forum.

Documentation

A new documentation page has been created, which explains how to use the block editor in the forums, and other references throughout the existing documentation have been updated. 

Known issues, reporting bugs, and suggesting enhancements

There are a couple of remaining known issues we are currently working on. As always, any help would be most welcome!

• To paste most types of code, you must use a code block; otherwise, it’s stripped out. An upstream issue to resolve this is still under discussion, and it would not only solve the issue in the forums, but for all sites using the block editor.  
• Emojis sometimes display an </img> tag 
• There is an issue with the underline option outputting inline code.
• This Meta Trac issue outlines other known issues.
