Sidewalk Surfboard Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 So, I was looking at the rules for posting in the Art Exchange, and then this happened.Is there any way to fix this? It's really clashing with the dark theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedal Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's some weird-ass feature that snapshots copied material. No idea why, but it seems to happen on these versions of IPB. Taralack quoted the description from FAF, and for some reason the background colour and text colour got copied as well. To avoid it in the future, the text should be pasted into a text editor and then copied again. That'll strip the colour and what not. Alternatively, there might be a way to switch it off on the forum software? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilishlyHandsome49 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I've rarely gotten this. Only seen it on a few threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosCalix Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Didn't even know there was a thread about this. I poked Kalmor who poked Taralack about this. Hasn't been fixed yet, but unless he forgets, I imagine it should be resolved soontm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKEditor is a bit too smart perhaps and I don't have a way to turn that feature off, annoying as it is. I'll fix the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really obnoxious, especially if you're copying a title or a definition, but you do get used to having notepad on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheagleAdler Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I seem to recall this annoyance when pasting text from FA into FAF... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
