    Can't paste into this forum?

    Hi

    For the last few days I've noticed that I can't paste into this forum.

    If I need to copy something here, I have to copy and paste it into Microsoft Word, then drag it from Word to the message window.

    I've tried using both Ctrl, C, V and the right click Copy, Paste options.

    I don't think I'm seeing this anyplace else, i.e. I don't have any problem copying and pasting into Word from the web.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Mike

    I just tried it and it works for me...try refreshing the page by ctrl F5 or if that doesn't work try logging off and back on.

    Hi

    I just copied the above by dragging it from the post above, but when I try and copy and paste it nothing happens.
    Either using Ctrl C or the right click menu.

    I can however, copy and paste it into Word.

    I couldn't paste this text into the Windows 7 forum either, but I could paste the same text into the Poser and PCMech forum as well as in Word.

    Weird!

    Mike

    Copy/Paste works for me too, Mike.

    Maybe you could try changing the skin, and see if it makes a difference? I doubt it, but Mike can maybe advise on that.

    Hi

    I figured it out, (I think for the second time, I think I went through this before) it all has to do with how the Editor Mode is set in the upper left corner of the compose window.

    I think it has to be in the Source mode.

    It's working now.

    It's working now.

    It's working now.
