New Copy/Paste error...might affect tomorrow's Dice Game

Noticed a new quirk this morning…

Copy/pasted the WootyBot command for the Dice Game. Instead of the normal paste, it produced the following:

color=#397d3c]@WootyBot[/color] [color=#dddddd]roll 6d6[/color

And it has done it several times this morning. It may be nothing, but it certainly didn’t do this before this morning. It might affect tomorrow’s 4-OF-A-KIND DICE GAME play. Or maybe not. Just thought it better to mention it here, jic.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @wootybot display help.

I have experienced the same issue today, when copying text in other threads as well as in the Dice Game thread.

Thank you for the note. I’ll send an email off to Discourse to see what happened.

In the meantime, you can copy/paste using CTRL-SHIFT-V which strips all formatting.

That’s actually what I use most often. And the above was the result.
Hopefully they’ll figure out what’s happening.

CTRL-SHIFT-V worked for me.

With CTRL-SHIFT-V, I get the following result…

color=#397d3c]@WootyBot[/color] [color=#dddddd]roll 6d6[/color

EDIT: I forgot to Copy first.
:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Now I Copy, then CTRL-SHIFT-V and am getting the right results! Thanks. :folded_hands:
I do hope they get the main issue updated though.

So just curious, if you had just now received 6 consecutive in a row, would you have sent yourself a BOC?
:wink: Or would I be responsible for sending you one?

A similar issue happened last month too. And it affected some users, but not others.

They turned off rich text while they work on what caused this to happen. We’re good for dice game.

@WootyBot roll 6d6

Need me to send a B0C to you?

@WootyBot roll 6d6
My copy/paste works. Maybe my computer doesn’t have any of that fancy rich text stuff!

Copy/paste wootybot just worked for me in that thread on a tablet without a keyboard, but since they turned off the rich text thing this post is moot. I haven’t opened up my laptop in a long time.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow :four_leaf_clover: :game_die:
