Selectable server info text

Post by Honktown »

When joining a server, the info on the right would be nice to be selectable. Then someone can copy/paste things like discord links, info pages, whatever.

e.g.:

Can't copy and paste any of it!
I have mods! I guess!

I wonder why they put the server description in the server tags instead of you know... the description.

I was wondering the same thing :lol:. But upon double checking, there is no place in the server right pane that accepts any kind of selection : neither the tags, nor the server name, description, mod list, ...

The description field used to have a prohibitively small 120 character (!) size limit which is why abusing tags as the description became the norm; it was the only way to do it. In FFF #304 Sanqui announced in July 2019
Dear server owners: the server description field is being enlarged from 120 to 5000 characters, and it now loads immediately. As soon as the next release is out, you may stop abusing the "tags" field for your colorful descriptions
It appears that the server owners have yet to receive that memo.
