Why can't I copy and paste ANYTHING on this site?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

For example, I wanted to post a thread I had in one forum, and copy it to another relevant forum since there's hardly any traffic in the one I posted it in, and it won't let me copy and paste. At all. I click the right mouse button and literally nothing happens. It's not a computer setting- I can copy and paste anywhere else. Also, if I'm writing a post and I'd rather a paragraph be moved to another part of my post, it'd be nice to copy and paste, instead of re-write the whole thing.

 

Help?

I can copy and paste your text. I don't know why you can't and I don't think we've received another complaint about c&p issues. 
 
Please send your complaint through our feedback form, which will also provide our tech team with your browser and computer info.

Have you tried highlighting the text and doing Control C (or using your menu)? That's how I always do it.

 

Yep, I just tried it and it worked for your text....as witnessed below.

none of my right click functions work here.  i have to do all kinds of cray things here to copy/paste (I have never figured out copy and pasting inside the forum.  Just copying from elsewhere and pasting here) and cannot use my internal spell checker.  It sucks.

You can complete the feedback form about this - which will give us specifics about your computer system and browser -  and I can check with tech support to see if there's a conflict: http://www.mothering.com/community/feedback
