Karlston Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Some posters seem to post in font colours that render text virtually invisible for users of the built-in nsane Dark theme. An example (and no, I'm not picking on the poster)... Could we either enforce text colours that are visible, or change the dark theme to force a text colour that is visible? Or perhaps this CSS newbie could cobble together something to force the text colour to black? I know we can use the mandatory link to the article to view it properly, but reading the post content spares us the ads and other garbage that sites like to show.

mp68terr Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Another way to view it properly is to select the whole page with ctrl+a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The reason for this is simple - the reason is copied text with the formatting of another website. You must thank copiers. This is not a forum error any way but the forum user big bug. The only thing the forum owner/administrator can do, is to deny copying text and/or copying at all. This is very simple and takes only couple minutes. Of course, also people could be understand that there is no need to copy the formatting of other websites. You even yourself see that it doesn't fit in any way. If on another site is dictated the text color, in current case it is set to color: #333333 (dark grey), then it cannot be changed if You change theme in current forum, ie here. To disable format copying is a selection button on the administrator panel. To disable copying at all, it is necessary to add one small simple script. That's all and everything is done. Such problems have disappeared for ever and many others will disappear for ever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Featured Comment Matt Posted January 27, 2019 Administrator Featured Comment Share Posted January 27, 2019 I was about to say what @Kalju said, but now I will add more. @Karlston If you see this error again simply report it or contact the topic author. Ask the staff or the topic author to remove text formatting, and the option has been available long time ago. I just edit the topic you mentioned above.

Kalju Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 @THORN There is one more tool what every time appears automatically if somebody copied something and there is written "Copy as plain text". That's all, simply click and unwanted formatting from article source is gone. And of course, the Tx button as Matt recommended. It does the same.

Administrator Matt Posted January 27, 2019 Administrator Share Posted January 27, 2019 @Kalju this is true. This option is available, but I didn't mentioned it above as a solution because if the members used it they will lose all words/sentences links. I recommend to use only the text formatting button.

steven36 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 What causes it to be in the wrong format they use Chrome instead of Firefox they are not many sites were Firefox has the wrong format and if it does it will just be rich text and you remove the format . I got so tired of people doing it that i just use the light theme now . One stops doing it then 2 more shows up and copies from chrome . The problem has exsited every since they got dark themes here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to mention that I post articles using Firefox with simple copy/paste and the post is readable. It didn't occur to me that different browsers may work differently.

The AchieVer Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Well it has been brought to my notice by @Karlston and thereafter by @Matt . I have explained that to @Matt and would like to state that I post articles using my phone as I hardly get time to sit with my PC and in mobile site there is no option to remove formatting. However, @Matt has fixed that now (mobile formatting button). I hope this clears all. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
