Road Runner Posted October 4, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2021 When you copy and paste text on this site, this prompt will appear right after you paste. It is always best to click on "Paste as plain text instead". If you use rich text, the font size and color will remain as original, possibly causing the pasted material to be invisible or nearly invisible to people using a different theme than you are using. At the very least it looks like crap. Here is an example of RG's recent post regarding comas. I use the carbon theme. He is using something else. His text is nearly impossible for me to read. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted October 4, 2021 So when I paste text and I don't use the "plain text" option, it looks like this to you non-carbon people.

Like I said in that thread, I think people may tend to ignore most of the YouTube videos posted here and just don't bother to watch. I am guilty of this as well. But in this particular case, skipping your video would be a real shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one little problem, maybe... When you copy and paste an image, the same prompt comes up that asks if you want rich or plain text. If you select "plain text" when trying to paste an image, the image does not paste. So if you could have all text pastes paste as plain text and all pastes containing images paste as rich text, that would be ideal. Or maybe you have a better idea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share #38 Posted October 9, 2021 I know most of you aren't all that interested in the theme incompatibility that was a constant source of aggravation for some of us, but our leader, the esteemed Mr Square Wheels, has fixed this problem and made everyday life on the forum much more pleasant. He deserves much praise for his efforts in this regard. Seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
