When you copy text fro ma website (And for example it is in red), and paste that text in the editor of MYBB. MyBB copies that text to be red. I would like to disable this. I want it to ignore any styles that are pasted in.

For example, i copied the rules for this post, and it is red, bold, and has bullets. How can i disable that and get just the straight text?

I don't think there is a straight forward solution to do this, there is however a remove formatting button (last button in the 3rd group of buttons) in the editor itself.

Ive noticed. But if you paste a lot of text that has different styles, you could be threading through it forever to just extract the text. MY solution at this point is to copy to Gedit, or some other editor, then recopy from that, then paste into MyBB editor. I was hoping to skip those steps.

oh.... i didnt even see that before. I thought you were talking about the view source button. Nice!

This is exactly what i was looking for. But i would like to automate this. Such as either remove all formatting in editor completely all the time, or remove all formatting in certain code tags.
