Followup from the WoA5 thread. Text coloring was removed (which I deem a good thing).

However there's an automatism, where you post a link, which is auto-colored blueish. When you edit the message and continue typing after the link all the text following is colored blue as well (as can be seen in post (https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/689072-week-of-awesome-v-administration-thread/?do=findComment&comment=5351953). I can't unblue the text.

 

Furthermore, I consider the message editor must have a markup mode. The web is not a word processor, stop make it f*cking behave like one, esp. when it fails so hard.
Pray tell, how do I copy a message with complete formatting to another document?

I was actually going to mention the link-pasting behaviour myself. It's not so much that it colours it blue, more that it preserves the hyperlink (which are coloured blue by default), and then - rather annoyingly - the rest of what you type becomes part of that link. I'd like that behaviour to stop!

If you do want to remove the linkiness from a link, hold Ctrl and right-click on the link for some options.
