Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 10, 201312 yr "Paste as plain text by default" - when we will be able to turn on this option for all existing and future users in ACP?
February 28, 201312 yr Agree, thanks Mr 13 to point it out ! Average communities users will prefer "paste as plain text" being as a default.
February 28, 201312 yr 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!
March 1, 201312 yr 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.
March 1, 201312 yr "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.
March 1, 201312 yr Is there an existing thread in the Feature Request section? We can all vote on it to well show that there is a demand?
March 5, 201312 yr 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.
March 5, 201312 yr 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!
May 20, 201311 yr Found it. Yes, global setting needed. Too many members pasting wrongs colors and fonts.
May 20, 201311 yr 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!
May 20, 201311 yr 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.
May 21, 201311 yr 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.
May 21, 201311 yr 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.
July 26, 201311 yr +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
July 26, 201311 yr 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
August 1, 201311 yr This needs to be done! Is it done? PS can anyone like to an editor design topic e.g. to make it dark!
August 1, 201311 yr 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.
