Right click on the mouse?

B15M · 10-22-2006, 10:34 AM

For a long time I would spell check my posts by doing a cut and paste. Ever since the format change when I right click, the cut or copy option are gone. I copy by doing ctrl C on the keyboard.

Why did copy and cut disappear?

Tootsall,

I know you replied because I got an email but I can't see your post.

Here is the message that has just been posted:

"It didn't. It's still there. Maybe your mouse drivers need refreshing/updating? I just "copy/pasted" the following."

Maybe it's with cut and paste in the outer limits or the twilight zone

Yeah, I deleted my post once I saw the precise problem you were having. It seems that you cannot "copy/paste" from-to within the posting page but you CAN "copy" from the original post before you go into "reply". Perhaps it is set up that way to minimize the potential for "putting words into other people's posts?". I don't know... perhaps an admin will come along and explain all.

Try right clicking on something thats highlighted rather than just anywhere in the box. I tested with both internet explorer and mozilla firefox and the copy option is available to both times. The exception is in IE, if you click in a white space in the box, there is no copy, but if you click on the text you highlighted then the option is there.

Perhaps I'm not understanding your question?

Still not there. I did upgrade Internet Explorer, maybe that's it.

I cannot do the "right mouse" stuff either in the post.

I use firefox, so I don't think it is an internet explorer issue.

I've tried the text box where you write your posts, both quick reply and advanced, and the posts by other people both on the main page and at the bottom of the reply page. Every time I can right click and copy.

I think i tried all of those in both Firefox and IE 6.0. I didnt download IE 7.0 because I'm lazy and almost never use it anyway. >.>

Isn't this weird? I'm in Fire Fox and I can Copy but no cut.

Thermos · 10-22-2006, 07:07 PM
