As per the subject - pasting a URL into a text used to create a nice set of <a> tags, with the selected text as the displayed link text. That no longer happens, on Chrome or Firefox (Windows) or Safari or Firefox (OS X).
Sorry if it's a repost/known issue, but it's one of those features you really miss when it disappears.

Which browser are you using? Can you give me an example?
I've revamped the copy/paste in order to make it a little nicer but I may have busted something.
(If you're using FireFox 2 then you could be in trouble: Paste on that was flaky and has been discontinued on the assumption that Firefox makes it painfully difficult to stick to an outmoded version)

WTF!?!
It's always worked fine for me on FF2. Why did you have to turn it off? So just tell people it's flakey on FF2 and leave it at that. Tell them you won't listen to any complaints on FF2. But please turn it back on. I have no choice about what browser I use for most of the day. Please!

I don't think it's a case of deliberately turning it off, as much a case of not trying to support it and letting it stay broke after some other updates bust it.

Actually it was the combination of auto-encoding HTML and pasting that was not working properly. FireFox 3 supports the 'paste' event which 2X doesn't.
3% (FF2) of our Firefox users (39%) use Firefox 2.0. If it's important for you personally that I support Firefox 2 for 0.78% of our users then I'll do it.

Chrome v.current (Windows), Firefox v3.0.current (Windows, OS X), Safari 4 beta (OS X).
[edit]Chrome = v2.0.169.1, FireFox = v3.0.4, v3.0.7. Also, the same non-behaviour is exhibited in IE6[/edit]

In that case I busted it, and busted it properly.
I will fix.

No, it should have worked in the first place. Well, it *did* work during testing. Looking into it.

I'm using FF 3.0.7 and now it doesn't work for me either (it used to work earlier). If I paste a URL, it gets pasted as text. I think the revamping didn't go very well.

Chris, I just had it fail completely on FF3 pasting the line

Works with Safari 4 on OS X as well - call it 4 out of 5
Nice one - thanks, Chris!

Hi. I posted this question in the Article Writing Forum[^], and Hans Dietrich suggested that I try here if I didn't get an answer. I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question.
I'm toying with writing a new article (not about Silverlight), and I'd like to include a little interactive example of what I'm talking about, to help the reader visualize what's going on. An embedded Silverlight control would get the job done well. Am I allowed to include a Silverlight control with my article? Or do you shy away from Silverlight, either because it restricts the audience of the site too much, or it doesn't fit in with the standard look-and-feel of the site, or something?

Not only are you allowed to, we've even included a button in the WYSIWYG article editor toolbar that makes it easy. Look for the 'Movie' icon at the far left (second row) of the toolbar in the article editor.

This[^] account is created today and has only one post. But the account icon is bit different and when I hover it says 'financialadmin' and it is social group type with no members.
It seems the icon is bit strange for such account. Am I reading too much?

Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

It reads member for me, and looks like a standard member icon.

Yep, I only met the new financial admin today, and Bob has already sacked him. On a Sunday. Apparently he did not pinpoint the memorybudget leaks fast enough. So he got disposed of.

Today I wrote a link in a message, selected the link text and clicked on 'link[^]' but instead, it make a link text, it posted the message. I'm using opera and that problem used to happen when there is no selected text and I click on 'link[^]' but now its happening everytime, weather text selected or not. Every button is working except 'link' and 'link[^]'.

CP's never supported Opera properly. 
Has anyone tested to see if 10alpha's Acid3 compliance has managed to fix any of the issues?
