Copy and paste?

Is there a way to not have to reformat every time I copy and paste something?

What isn’t working when you copy and paste? Might depend on where it is copy and pasted from?

It comes out in block shape. For example:

The crappy lineup thing is overplayed. Freddie has been getting
pitches to hit all season. He just hasn’t been hitting them (until the
last week or so).

Also, when Enciarte gets back, Freddie will hypothetically have
Inciarte and Markakis batting in front of him- guys with a .338 and .370
OBP last year, respectively. Far from the worst table setters.

I guess the real concern is the guys who bat behind Freddie. They’re
the kind of guys who make you think “really? these are the most talented
players in the Braves system?” I say throw some youngsters into the
fire. Really, what do the Braves gain by playing Jeff Francouer and
Adonis Garcia?

That is from here:

but it’s happened to me everytime I’ve tried to copy and paste something that is more than one line.

Weird… It pastes fine for me. What browser are you using?

Firefox. Try copy and pasting that into a post here. I have to see it to believe it.

That’s with Chrome on a Mac. I’ll try to investigate.

What the heck lol.

The big kick in the balls is when I want to italicize it or bold it. Look:

**The crappy lineup thing is overplayed. Freddie has been getting **

Yeah, it doesn’t work in Firefox. Just tried it, not sure why.

At least I know it’s not just me.

From the thread:

  • Copy from Firefox, paste in Firefox → as reported.
  • Copy from Chrome, paste in Firefox → no newlines at all.
  • Copy from Chrome, paste in Notepad, copy again and paste in Firefox → works.
  • Copy from Firefox and paste in Chrome → works too.

I checked the thread out. Apparently they never got around to fixing the bug.

Cheap workaround: paste into a text editor, copy the pasted text, paste into the forum.
