I'm hoping there is a way to resolve this issue.
Right now, if you if try to copy a post and paste it into a new thread post... (eg. From the Twitter Discussion thread to the Archive thread).
1. It won't keep any of the text formatting (eg. Bold/Italics/etc.). 2. It won't copy images or video. 3. It won't copy anything behind spoiler tags.
The only way to do this right now, is to Edit the post (if you made it), view it in BBCode, copy and paste that into your new thread, then "back" out to the thread to find the next post to copy. And since the site is somewhat slow, it becomes a fair bit of work.
Worse, if it's a post you didn't create, then you have to copy/paste the text, then copy/paste the image links one-by-one, then the video links, then format the text, and then manually recreate the spoiler tags, if any.
When it's slow, it's not that big a deal, but when it's busy - as when the PS4 video dropped, it's simply too much work to keep up.
Ideally, I want to be able to select and copy posts as is and paste into a new thread post - done. That's the only way I'll be able to feasibly keep them up to date over the long run.

Is this something you could possibly use the Quote Selection function to work around? I'm not sure if there's a limit on how many quotes you can have saved at one time, but conceivably, you could Quote Select all of the tweet posts on a page, then go to the archive thread and dump them into one post, preserving all of the formatting of the original post regardless of who made it. In theory. The Powers-That-Be might know of a better/more elegant solution, though. *scurries back under the bed*

The main issue with that though is you now have to go and delete all the quote tags, and in a gigantic post it can be time consuming to get them all. And then there are quotes you want to keep (Dev replying to an earlier Dev tweet) so it can be tricky to delete just the right ones. So in the end you don't actually save any time.

The only solution I can see would be for you to have custom permissions on your account allowing you to be able to edit other peoples posts. Allowing you to copy it all.
