VectorGamer Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 This was driving me nuts until I decided to poke around with the forum editor. Gimme reps if I awared you on this feature. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm so used to pasting in Notepad first as a "filter" then copying/pasting out of that for nearly everything. So I never end up using that feature "paste as plain text" in most things.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I use Chrome and right click paste has paste as plain text paste option by default that I always use, yes just pasting directly can have some weird effect (typically discoloured or in weeny barely readable text) but your suggest which honestly, I was not even aware of, would be definitely useful if I were not using Chrome.

Albert Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I give you mad props. I hate to tell you the editor is completely new in the next version of the software. But seems to be for the better, since they rewrote the forum software from the ground up. It's a third-party editor, but should have many fewer headaches than the current editor. And it supports plugins (not written by Invision, thankfully), which will allow things like creating tables again. Good times are coming.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Seems like it would be quicker and easier to click on the BBCode Mode button (or icon or whatever it is called). It's above the B (for bold). I'm always clicking on it to switch between plain text mode and fancy-pants mode. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, the new forum software does NOT have a text-only mode. So enjoy it while you can!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I use Chrome and right click paste has paste as plain text paste option by default that I always use I use Chrome, and also do this. I didn't even think of it as a Chrome feature until now. Guess I've just been using Chrome for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Interestingly, the new forum software does NOT have a text-only mode. So enjoy it while you can!! As long as it allows pasting source code without removing leading zeros and tabs and supports a fixed font, I am fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
