Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
aia Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 "Paste as plain text by default" - when we will be able to turn on this option for all existing and future users in ACP?
stepy Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Agree, thanks Mr 13 to point it out ! Average communities users will prefer "paste as plain text" being as a default.
chromaniac Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Having switched from vB, this is a major issue for me. Members paste text that ends up appearing in zillions of different fonts! Hard to explain to them to use clear formatting button or use Ctrl+Shft+V for pasting!
stepy Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Members paste text that ends up appearing in zillions of different fonts! Exactly, also lines formatting goes crazy, this making post difficult to read. Please, consider this suggestion.
Hexsplosions Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 "Paste as plain text by default" - when we will be able to turn on this option for all existing and future users in ACP? I suggested this and it was immediately dismissed. It didn't seem to evoke any responses from other users so I assumed I was a minority. I'd go as far as to request this be an admin configurable option. I have to edit load of topics that have crap formatting. My forum looks a mess if not.
chromaniac Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Is there an existing thread in the Feature Request section? We can all vote on it to well show that there is a demand?
Jυra Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I think this thread shows that people want a simple editor for forum members.
Laurencio Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 100% agree. I usually just go to the plain text editor and paste it in there but there should be an option to just automatically paste as plain text. I've seen some of my users paste news stories etc and it looks horrendous the way its pasted in.
chromaniac Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I am not sure why IPB does not show the toolbar in text mode. I have to turn on the GUI mode just to add a link to a keyword!
Nimdock Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 I was coming to say that I agree with this but it looks like I already did. :D
chilihead Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Where is this setting anyway? I can't find the individual setting.
chilihead Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Found it. Yes, global setting needed. Too many members pasting wrongs colors and fonts.
Hexsplosions Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Found it. Yes, global setting needed. Too many members pasting wrongs colors and fonts. I know they read these forums so hopefully they've taken this onboard. My forum sometimes looks like a rainbow!
chilihead Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I hate when it grabs the background color when they paste from another site or area of your own site. NO members know about the setting, as admin, I couldn't even find it. We need to be able to switch the default.
Cyrem Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I hate when it grabs the background color when they paste from another site or area of your own site. This here, had this problem recently. White text background on dark forum? No thanks.
Hexsplosions Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 This here, had this problem recently. White text background on dark forum? No thanks. My problem is worse. I have both a light skin and a dark skin. On one background it looks fine, on the other it looks invisible. I sincerely think IPS failed to think this one through. I argued that an admin should have control over this but, well, here we are. My preference... disable it altogether. Force users to paste in plain text. I have no requirement for users to copy and paste formatting, it neither meets nor exceeds my needs.
ogbrandon Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 +1 as this always results in a youtube link instead of a video. Edit: The option does not even work for me sadly. Chrome 28
Jelly Belly™ Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 this editor is particularly naff imho, it makes posting more than a few lines a chore, trying to post html is a nightmare, the editor messes with the code, inserts loads of </BR> where they never were before and it causes my sites members no end of problems which in turn causes me extra workI wish it would go back to the old style where you could diasble the feature rich editor completely
Gam3ronE Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 This needs to be done! Is it done? PS can anyone like to an editor design topic e.g. to make it dark!
chromaniac Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 It's not done and it still drives me crazy 6 months into using this product. i am hoping that the new editor in IPB4 would be much better in this regard.
