View Full Version : Cutting and Pasting Into Posts

One of the things I've been wondering about for a while now is why cutting and pasting seems to break links. If you write out a lengthy post in notepad, say, so that you can save it and not lose your progress should disaster strike, when you go to paste that post in to the post box, none of the links will work. The UBB code shows up as raw code, rather than a link. Does anyone know anything about this?

Nothing other than this has been happening since the upgrade. I used to be able to do this perfectly prior to that.

line breaks are probably screwed up if you go from notepad

I have the same problem from Word, but I see your point. Do you have an alternative?

i don't employ the pasting practice much. i could try it from vim sometime, but i don't think you'd like that editor...

i would guesstimate that vim has about 16 trillion times more users than winvi

Vaguely. WinVI is a Windows-only notepad replacement that borrows what it can from vi. vim is essentially a vi replacement. It enhances old school vim by adding functionality people today expect like multiple undos. It's also cross-platform. Pretty much anyone nowadays who says that he uses "vi" as his editor probably actually uses vim (that includes me /images/graemlins/smile.gif). It won out as pretty much the standard vi implementation; I've never known anyone who actually used elvis, etc..

If anybody can help me deal with the URL issues when pasting a long post I'd appreciate it. We're trying to get an FAQ up in MTT but it's proving to be difficult. You can see the file here. (http://www.provada.com/faqcomplete.txt)

thanks.

Here is your problem, Lloyd:

"What’s the best way to keep records on my MTT performance?
ExitOnly created a comprehensive Excel document for this purpose which he shares with anyone interested, or SnG tracker ( http://sng.pokercomment.com/) is a small piece of software which may also be handy."

The URL code is broken in the entire post when you leave a space between the "=" and address in any link.

Unfreakin' real. You're awesome. I can't believe that one error breaks all the code but that's exactly what happened. Thanks so much.

I was basically talking about searching for users based on their IPs. But I'm sure you guys can find a few other uses for me.
