CC old messages to another player

[KonTiki]

In message box in the game, how do you copy (send, forward) an old message to another player in your FS. The mages want to update our archmage on our discussion by forwarding our thread.

Thanks!

You will just need to copy it and paste it in the message section of the FS. You may have to do it in parts as messages can only have so many characters.

Thank you Jewess. Copying text from a message window does not seem to be straight-forward. Is there a trick or a set of key-strokes. Right click doesn't bring up a cut/paste window, but rather some other window.

1: Left click text (it will seem like nothing happened, that's ok)
2: Right click text
3. Select "settings" from the pop-up
4. Close the new pop-up (everything should highlight now)
5. Ctrl-C
6. go to wherever you want to paste it and left click
7. Ctrl-V

I use windows... i highlight and copy text and paste it where I want it to be. for me using windows, it is extremely easy. I do not know what software you are using. I apologize that I cannot help you more.

You can do that from in-game chat and in-game emails without using the system I posted above?

depending on how the original message was sent you might be able to simply reply to it. A message sent to an entire fellowship auto updates new and old members. So sometimes to bring an old message back to the top of someone inbox or just for visibility to new members simply replying can have the desired effect.

Soggy, I was referring to copying and pasting from the forum to the FS chat window. I share announcements and updates provided to my FS as they are not forum members. The way you stated was for copying messages from FS chat to someone or somewhere else. Thank you for clarifying.

Thanks Jewess. I use windows too. But cut/paste from the message window was not as straight forward. SoggyShorts provided the answer if you are interested.
Thanks!

Thank you ALL for your input. From amongst all of you I got the answer I needed, and some additional golden nuggets as well. Thanks again!

Thanks Mykan. My original problem was I corresponded with only one FS person, but then wanted to "forward" or "cc" that thread to our archmage. (Note, the first FS person and I BOTH wanted to cc our archmage.)

Apparently, once a thread is started in the message box, you cannot change the addressees for that thread ... and I was forced to copy and paste, starting a new thread where the omitted member is now added.

If there's a will, we will find a way.

Thanks!

Also want to thank SoggyShorts! The issue of copy/paste came up yesterday in an email, so those instructions were most timely. Thanks!

You're very welcome. Unfortunately INNO has chosen to run their own wiki so there is no obvious place to gather all hints and tips in one place.
The closest we have is Mykan's guide which is awesome if you know about it =)

I do. Since these recent changes have impacted my play a lot, I have been haunting the forum (clearly as I'm shown as a new member) looking for help and answers. Lots of which (like this little tip) I'm taking back to my FS. You all are great with the help!
