Curious: Pasting a link works, but there's a link icon where you can past the URL as well.  Is the only reason for that so you can relabel the text of the link?

If I recall, didn't older versions of the board not allow you to paste the link you HAD to use the link icon?  It seems like now you can just paste.  Or does it depend on the type of site?  Example I just copied and pasted this link without using the link icon:  

https://overthecap.com/player/darius-slay/2358

I don't recall not being able to just paste a link directly into a post. But yes, the link icon is so that you can re-label the link like here, where I took your link and did that: Darius Slay Cap numbers, same link just a different way to display it. 

Unless my memory is playing tricks on me, I used to (usually), just past the link directly and don't recall ever not being allowed to do that.

Maybe I'm confusing it with pasting an image link, could be.  Completely minor, unimportant topic for a slow Friday at work.  :lol:

Could be, I don't remember links themselves being forced through the link icon.

Whew, close one.

That was a real emotional roller coaster.

That and Facebook are issues with those services. I've asked Invision about it, as have others who run boards, and they are 'looking into it'. So we'll see. 

Any update to this? Instagram and Facebook links still don't embed

Invision has fielded a lot of inquiries/complaints on this and they're supposedly looking into it. I haven't checked on it for a while, but I'll see if there's any updates.

I sent a message to Invision a little while ago, this is the reply:

Our developers are still investigating this and potential next steps.

If it's something that they can fix, it'll likely be in a future update. But it may be something on Facebook's end that they would have to fix (and won't).

It would make sense if FB didn't want to make it convenient to share content elsewhere. They want people on their groups for discussions, sharing content on timelines.

Bold no longer works.  If you try to bold something ... nothing.  If you post something from an article in which bold is in use, it does not post with bold.  Example below (first is as printed in article, second is from after having posted in 411).

@VaBeach_Eagle @Moderator12 just following up on this.  Any reason why being able to use bold text no longer works?  I add a lot of content in 411 and used to use it often.  Thanks.

Bold does work, but when you're in Dark Mode, it's just harder to notice because the background is a dark color. This is BOLD this is not BOLD. background The difference is there, but it's slight enough to make it seem like it's not. I'll see if I can increase it any. 

For now, or if it can't be made any more obvious, bold it and maybe underline it also to indicate the emphasis that you want to indicate.

Hmmmm.  I post most articles (411) from my laptop … it’s just easier.  I’d always paste the title, usually have to adjust font size, and then would hit bold and you would observe it change to bold.  When I do so now I never see the change.  And many times where there is boldface text within an article (e.g. when covering a list of draft picks and each player’s name is bolder within the article, when I paste it it no longer appears to be bold (on a white background).

If you can, take a screenshot of what you're seeing and post it.

That's a bold statement.

Below is how it looks to me. I can see the difference on mine, but on yours it's not so noticeable.

When I have a chance, I'll see what can be done.

A few examples:

(1) When posting article title (first one not bolded, second one supposed to be bolded):

(2) When posting from an article (first one as included in original, second one what is actually pasted):

(3) When trying to add bold to text within an article:

No I am not.  In that 1st (and 3rd) examples I presented earlier, you can see where the bold icon is highlighted to indicate the text should be bolded but you can see there is no difference.  That is what I see on my end.  This has been going on since the upgrade.  I didn't make any changes on my end (to settings, etc.).  Weird.

Which skin/theme are you using (check the dropdown at the bottom of the board)?
