LithiaWx Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Is there a way to allow text that is copy and pasted from say the NWS for example to appear exactly as it was laid out? For instance if I copy and paste this Record Event Report it should be formatted where it is easy to read. When I paste it into the post box it appears correct but once you hit "Post New Topic" or "Post" it then becomes linear and all running together and all those neat spaces are removed automatically. Is there anyway to subvert this? 000 SXUS72 KFFC 212134 RERATL RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 431 PM EST MON NOV 21 2011 ...RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE SET AT ATLANTA... A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 77 DEGREES WAS SET AT ATLANTA TODAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 76 SET IN 1942. Here is the example, when I copied and pasted it it looked like I wanted but once I hit post it reverted back to the linear mess that's hard on the eyes.

snowman21 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Seems like this option has gone away. It's a pain to post fixed width stuff now. How are people doing it? Even using the code tags don't seem to respect fixed width like they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 In the "advanced post maker" there's "paste" button that also does the same thing I believe, although I haven't messed with it too much.
