DEFCON Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I sent a help request to admin last evening and haven't heard anything back yet.I was wondering if anyone can tell me why I cannot 'cut & paste'? This is only a problem with this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W5 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I only have that problem when using Internet Explorer as a browser, not any of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEFCON Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Don Hudson made a simple suggestion on here a decade or so ago which resolved certain site related frustrations of the time; create your message off site and then cut and paste it in to avoid losing your work to gremlins etc.As it is, I'm unable to cut and paste in the manner described above and now that you've mentioned it JO, I tried and am unable to cut and paste quotes from within the site either.I've always used the IE browser W5 and never had a problem with it.

mo32a Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 As I stated before, it is a software problem with the hosting website. There is a simple, I'm told, fix that can be made, Admin has just not done it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo32a Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 ^^The problem only exists if you are using IE, and there is a fix for it. I had the same problem on another forum and they fixed it within a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo32a Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Admin - can you tell me what software you are using to run this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo32a Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Admin, Admin, come in please. I am trying to get an answer to the cut and paste problem in IE, but I need to know what software you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deicer Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 When posting, if you click on the top right button, "BBCode Mode", it opens up your msg and you can paste whatever you need to. Click it again and it returns you to the 'original' mode and your post will post normally.This is what I have been using since the crossover and I have had no problems...FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inchman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It appears to be ipboard based on some of the page code.http://www.invisionpower.com/apps/board/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt* Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Seems to be a known bug in the software. Sorry not much I can do at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo32a Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ok, I click on it and it comes up "special BBCode" and asks you to select from a drop down box. What do you select? It didn't open up my post it went to a new pop up box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest longtimer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ok, I click on it and it comes up "special BBCode" and asks you to select from a drop down box. What do you select? It didn't open up my post it went to a new pop up box.I am using IE11 and don't get any drop down box, just the ability to quote post. I am using AEF Theme.

mo32a Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Deicer has come up with the answer that works for me. Thank you very much!OK, here is my latest try, but it was the top left button that got me this far, it still doesn't show up in a quote box though, or identify the original poster.

Guest longtimer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 mo32a. Just press that left button and then go to the post you want to quote and press quote. That should put the quote into your new message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo32a Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Admin, here is a possible solution to the copy/paste problem when using IP boards.https://www.invisionpower.com/support/kb/_/ie11-copypaste-linking-and-quote-issues-r58 (https://www.invisionpower.com/support/kb/_/ie11-copypaste-linking-and-quote-issues-r58) https://www.invisionpower.com/support/kb/_/ie11-copypaste-linking-and-quote-issues-r58One of those links should work, I had a little trouble cutting and pasting........Yes the "left button" works, but there is no reason not to be able to use the normal operation.
