Site Updates and Issues Discussions #9 - Page 26

Hello Team,

I want to start by expressing my appreciation for the updates and new features on IF - it's great to see the platform evolving. However, I have some concerns regarding the recent changes, particularly the copy-pasting restrictions:

I’ve noticed that when I try to copy and paste, only the first 50 characters are included before a link appears, which feels a bit limiting. For example, I wanted to respond to a user’s review on my fan fiction update line by line, but since it was a members-only post, I couldn’t quote it directly. Instead, I ended up copying everything manually to respond, which felt a bit like doing a scavenger hunt with my keyboard.

Additionally, while editing my fan fictions, I faced a frustrating situation where I lost a 7,000-word chapter because only half of it copied before the link popped up. It’s been quite a challenge! I know I can work in Word, but let’s just say, that copy-paste experience was more of a horror story than I bargained for ... because while I was pasting from there; the space between two words just disappeared .. like this (@bold)

Miss thosedays .. it was funback then

IF is a space eater too

I also noticed that we can’t hide our active thread posts anymore, which adds to the clutter. Just yesterday, I wanted to copy an original story to post on Wattpad, but I was reminded of this new update. It’s proving to be quite inconvenient.

While I understand these measures are in place to protect our content,

(Also, as one user pointed out few days ago in this very thread) - I think it’s worth noting that there are tools available that can extract text from images in no time at all. Jisko copy karna hoga wo karke hi rahega.

I don’t believe I’m the only one facing these issues. It might be helpful to conduct a poll or gather feedback from the community regarding these features.

I sincerely request you to consider my request! Thank you for all your hard work in improving IF

Happy Diwali!

Best regards,

Anushka

Dear Anushka, if you are copying your own posts please use edit option

Edit >>>> select all >>>>copy>>>> paste where you wish to inside IF …

I am doing this all the time for my updates . All those restrictions you have mentioned are placed when you are copying posts not your own , which you can’t edit and for copying IF content to other sites .

I hope I could help you

Happy Diwali 🪔

Am I the only one whose log out button is missing ? To logout I have to click on Setting --> Logout.

If this is a bug please fix it.

I tried the edit option to copy my posts but it does not work, I guess it only works for mods.
