Due to a change in the boards, to keep the correct font while pasting, you need to make a slight change to your reply options.
1) In the reply field, click the gear icon shown below:
2) Then, uncheck "Paste as plain text by default", and click "OK".
3) Hit F5 to refresh your screen and the setting will become the default setting.
Note: after a Fizzgrid™ paste, the font will change to "Courier New Bold" for the remainder of the reply. You can switch this back to "Arial" and uncheck the "bold" box to revert to the default font.

Fizzgrid™ Technology FAQ:

Q)
How much does Fizzgrid™ Technology cost? Is there a monthly fee?
A) Fizzgrid™ is free to the public, as payment for all the future shenanigans I plan on pulling here in the forums. I am sure that in a few months, you'll be begging me to shut the hell up.
Q) How do I use Fizzgrid™ Technology?
A) Easy! Just copy/paste the grid and you're on your way! Replace the underscores with other characters to represent figures, objects, targets, whatever. Make sure you note what things represent. Oh, and don't forget to put "Powered by Fizzgrid™ Technology" at the bottom!
Q) Do I have to put "Powered by Fizzgrid™ Technology" at the bottom if I use Fizzgrid™?

A)
Don't ask. I have my ways. Trust me.

Q)
What if I don't like "them apples"?
A) Then you should put "Powered by Fizzgrid™ Technology" at the bottom whenever you use it.
