PSA: Copy/Pasting

By FourDogsInaHorseSuit, in Star Wars: Armada

For those of you who copy and paste fleet lists from a fleetbuilder, please Please PLEASE use "paste as plain text" (ctrl+shift+v) so that your lists are readable. The color scheme that so many of you copy from your fleet builders is neigh unreadable.

Alternatively you can also just copy-paste it in, highlight it, and hit the little erase at the upper right of the text editor menu bar to remove all formatting.

Thank you.

Yea, I have to highlight everything to read them, that gets really annoying on a cellphone!

From which builder are you talking about? Armada Warlords text export shows up just fine. Do you need to use a different browser on your phone?

Also pasting as text removes all hypertext links. Those are handy to look at the list.

I'm guessing there's some people who don't know what the problem is here as they've never seen it.

The problem is some people have selected the grey background option for the FFG site and some have the white (which I think is default?).

Some of the army builders spit out grey text. So the people who have grey can barely read it without highlighting it.

Grey is the Default

White is the "New"

Accessable by "Change Theme".

On the New White, its down in the bottom left corner of the Forum.... But if course, if you'r eon the New White, most of the time, you don't want to change back...

Grey screen all the way. Easier on the eyes, until people paste text without removing the formatting.

Everyone, remove your formatting or paste as plain text, please!

Gray text? Why, for the love of ...why???

I think a part of the UI programmer inside me just died a little.

Grey is the Default

Heh, that's weird. It's white until I log in, so I assumed white was default.

What sorcery is this??

Edit: holy crap, this looks way better!

They could have reset the Defaults.

Once upon a time, all was grey, after all.

Mine has always been grey on multiple computers and my phone.

Grey is annoyingly letterboxed on my screen, which is why I prefer the White - it takes things neared to the edges of my "Its not a Cheap TV I bought at WalMart, its a Monitor, I swear..."....

I blame Armada Warlords for everything.

mine was grey as a default, but then Ben made it white as a default. Classic Ben.

Everytime one of you yahoos does this, I'm bumping the thread and calling you out.

If 98% of people view the forum in white scheme, and 2% view it in grey scheme? who is at fault?

Right at the bottom of the page, you will see a button called "change theme". Click it. White is so much nicer on the eyes too.

2 no its not. Light on dark background is easier on the eyes. This is like one of three lessons I've learned from imagery analysts.

1 interesting stat that you've made up there.

Irrelevant. The light version is just laid out better.

While I agree with Imagery analysts that Light on dark background is easier on the eyes (Having been a US Navy Imagery Analyst I think I qualify in agreeing here) I prefer the lay out of the white background. It helps that when I transition from one tab to another, going from grey to white is jarring so I stick with white.
