Member Contributer fink Posted May 25, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hi New here, spend most of my time on the 8th Gen part of the site. I am having a slight problem copying and pasting one here. This is the only site i'm on where I have experienced this problem. I have written an article and want to put it on the forum. Normally what I do is write it in word or word pad, then copy and past onto the forum page, then press post button. Everything works fine and dandy. On this site I wont allow me to do this. Can someone please advise what to do. Regards Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a problem here.

Member Contributer CHUCK2 Posted May 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 Whenever I copy & paste here I always get a dialog box asking for permission to access my clip board. Unsure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer adeyren Posted May 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 Can you copy and paste the other way round? ie text from the web into Word. What version of Word are you using? 2010 2003 etc. Have you tried using the Snipping tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted May 26, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 It wont all copy and paste what you've just typed. using IE in the reply box. I can copy and paste it to word 2003 from this site, but cant repaste it back in here. Have never used the snipping tool in my life It works ok in Chrome which I have now downloaded. Would still like to get this issue resolved though and fully appreciate the assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer adeyren Posted May 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 Snipping tool. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/use-snipping-tool-capture-screen-shots#1TC=windows-7 Stick with Chrome, IE is shite. Been googling this and seems IE does have conflicts with copy and paste into web forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted May 26, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 Cheers for the info. Have got to say I am on loads of different forums and have never had this problem before. Was wondering if it may have been newbie restrictions.

No newbie restrictions that im aware of, always found this site dead easy to use not like a certain other VFR forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer The mailman Posted May 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 I had used IE for years and then found some sites didn't like that method and started using Google Chrome. Now I generally use GC and have to swap back to IE for a very few sites that don't like GC. This is one reason I hate computers as much as I love them. The operating systems are all like a Mario Brothers game. You have to know a few secrets and just hop into a specific open space to get your coins! Finding those secrets without a bit of tutoring drives me CRAZY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
