Bullethead Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm accessing this forum from a Windows desktop and have 2 problems: 1. Can't Paste Anything Whether I try to paste the normal way using CTRL-C and CTRL-V, or whether I use the various "Paste From" buttons at the top of this window, nothing happens. As a result, I have to type everything in manually. 2. Can't Quote When I click on the quote button, the forum thinks for a little while (green bar at top with animated white dots), and then the reply window opens with no quote shown in it. Are these problems common to everybody? Do I just have to get through some newbie probationary period before these features start working? Or is there some setting I have to change to make them work? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob carr Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I have the same with quotes. I thought it was something with windows 10 which came on my new pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_holden Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Can you try a different browser, e.g. Chrome or Firefox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullethead Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Can you try a different browser, e.g. Chrome or Firefox? Aha, Chrome works for both quotes and pasting. Thanks. Although I hate Chrome...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Hardy Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Aha, Chrome works for both quotes and pasting. Thanks. Although I hate Chrome...... I confirm - Internet Explorer doesn't work properly for the forums under either Windows 7 or 10. Neither does the new Edge browser under Windows 10. So I have to switch to Chrome for these forums. This is odd, as as far I can see, all other web sites work fine under Edge, and I rather like it (other than lack of ability to right click on a link and save target).

JimR Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I confirm - Internet Explorer doesn't work properly for the forums under either Windows 7 or 10. Neither does the new Edge browser under Windows 10. So I have to switch to Chrome for these forums. This is odd, as as far I can see, all other web sites work fine under Edge, and I rather like it (other than lack of ability to right click on a link and save target). Agreed. With Edge on Win10 I could not Quote or MultiQuote using the corresponding button, but I was able to copy/paste, then add the quote /quote tags (surrounded by square brackets).

David Barnert Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 FWIW, no problem on a Mac or iPhone (both using Safari browser and the iPhone using the desktop version of the forum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
