Hi Friends, Just a quick question. Somewhere recently someone told me not to paste text into the website pages editor, from a word processing type of text document (like LibreOffice). Apparently it transfers conflicting codes or something.
Is it the same for using the website's private message? Should I only use Notepad?
(I'm just making myself some templates for when I need to message members as a moderator. Then I can just paste in the message, change the member name and maybe the name of the image.)
Thanks, brynn
Hi Brynn,
Good question.
The pastebin should be fine. the only reason the editor copies the codes over is because it's a 'rich-text' type editor with all the extra buttons for bold/headers etc etc. If it's just a text box, it should just paste text only.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hhmm.... You lost me.... I'm talking about using the website's private messaging. Are you saying to paste it into the pastebin before I paste it into the private message field?
Or do you mean that the private messaging uses the pastebin text field, somehow? Or maybe you think of Notepad as a pastebin? (It's Windows' plain text editor.)
Or do you mean that you want me to make the templates that I use public? Or that you want me to make templates which all the moderators can use?
I thought since moderators can use any way they want to contact members, and they can pretty much use any reasonable approach that suits them, that the template I use for myself would probably not fit for other moderators' styles. That's why I put tips for contacting members in the guide, rather than create formal templates which everyone has to use.
I know the private message editor doesn't have rich text, so I thought pasting the text which comes from LibreOffice would be ok. But I just wanted to be sure.
Sorry if I'm being dense.
Thanks, brynn

- That's correct. It's only when it allows you to add plugins that copy-pasting from one page with plugins to another page with plugins will cause problems, because plugins may only be used on a single page.
Copy-pasting into a plain text editor cleans the plugins out from the text.
