Thanks for the response.

I feel like if there was a way to get the "button" added to all of the places you've mentioned would be a great place to start. As for how to implement without breaking your current dialog boxes and button colors and templates is an entirely different question.

Sending money to players, using items, certain events that are tied to the events page in general could probably be ignored and add the button to the event tabs like in this crappy picture below.

It could match the same design as the rest of the page but would require changing column sizing a bit.

I really hope more people state where they think it would be the most beneficial. Cause in my mind, in a text based game like Torn, my answer is "the more the merrier". <3

Elaborating just a bit on this:

any time a text-based confirmation is provided in any situation, using an item, using a boost, etc, as well as sending, spending, buying, etc.

anytime you have to click "yes" to confirm something. The next text-based confirmation would have the option to copy it with said icon from his reply.

It could also be added to the event list to copy individual events. We can forward events to people, but not channels... Although... Wouldn't it be nice to be able to forward events to a channel as a whole?

I think this is one of those things where everyone would opt for the text-based functionality and ease over the possible aesthetic of a cute little icon that may take months to implement.

Okay | Copy

Okay | Copy



I see no issue with the above formats which the OP suggested



Those 'areas' you listed sound perfect. Copying these types of messages is most common on personal item / money sends. It would be super useful to have the function on any completed action message which currently has the 'Okay' button, but how would we find and list every single one of these... ;-;


I would love to see this added soon. Mobile users rejoice!


Love, deca <3

I'm not keen on anything that's going to clog up the UI like that, adding a link alongside other actual actions which is only going to be used one in a thousand times is just adding additional noise and complexity to the panels.

We would need to create an official 'copy text' standard. My first thought was to add a button to the top-right of these panels, but it could be simpler just having all 'result text' site-wide copy to clipboard upon clicking/tapping it, although there would be some conflicts with text that contains links.

However I'm starting to think this would be a waste of our time to actually implement this fully and properly support everywhere. You can just tap and hold any text to copy it currently, it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Maybe one day when we're really totally out of ideas of what to work on next, but we're many, many years away from that point.

This 3 year old suggestion was requested to be graved after it was made obsolete with the addition of the activity log, released over a year ago.

No action is needed as the function exists within the log feature itself. Only improvement I would suggest on the log, would be single click copy to clipboard instead of requiring two clicks on each event but that's nit picking at this point.

Prior to the activity log every player would manually select events, and manually copy and paste them (made especially obnoxious for mobile players). The activity log solves this quality of life problem and therefore makes this suggestion irrelevant.

Happy Sunday.

I think it's also worth noting that the areas that were pointed out all generate a log, which does have a copy log button already.

EDIT: Apologies, I just saw the above post
