Where has the copy code button gone?

Hi there,

am I blind or is this an Apple problem?
There used to be a copy function copying forum members’ posted code. I can’t see this function anymore. In my forums account settings I don’t see a change.
Any hint much appreciated!

Most likely not. I’m on Ubuntu 20.04.3 with Firefox 95.0.1 and I can’t see it either.

Seems like this is a feature of discourse that is off by default. Maybe the setting was lost during an upgrade.

@Tinkerer I’m really sorry for tagging you, but I believe only admins can change (or even see) the settings. Could you please confirm if it is off? It was quite a useful feature, so unless there were some problems with it, would you please consider turning it back on? Thanks

It was disabled as the plugin was not compatible with the new forum software.

Are you sure it was done using a plugin? Seems like this functionality is now part of discourse itself.

Thank you Tom.

It is not meant in a bad way. It’s just irritating that the software for a forum that lives from code examples clashes with the copy function.

is there any plans to re adding the copy code Button?
