VaBeach_Eagle Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 3 hours ago, NOTW said: @VaBeach_Eagle 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm confusing it with pasting an image link, could be. Completely minor, unimportant topic for a slow Friday at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).
