SUPERNOVADAVE 50 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 I am having the exact same problem. I wonder if it could be a compatibility problem with internet explorer 11 also when I try to add photo attachments - only the basic uploader works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simul8r 114 Report post Posted February 13, 2014 I am having the exact same problem. I wonder if it could be a compatibility problem with internet explorer 11 also when I try to add photo attachments - only the basic uploader works. Same here, it seemed to happen after a new upgrade with explorer and all my PC's are about the same. I'm currently using my Nexus pad right now with no problem and Google Chrome also works but Explorer is "no bueno". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul GT73 1,398 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 still no copy and paste function...and its not just me, this needs to be addressed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulG 79 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 Hasn't worked for me either. Firefox. I used to be able to at least copy and paste if I made a post and then did the C&P with an edit, but C&P are now completely off the table. If it's just a copy and paste (and not something I want quoted), I can C&P the info into the "Link" box and then just remove the link tags, but that only works if I'm copying outside info and is a pretty bad solution.

mikedem 124 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 I had this happen once on my work laptop - try clearing cookies and cache. I recommend a program called Ccleaner or you can just do it manually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulG 79 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 Like Paul T, this is not a common issue for me either. And I use copy and paste a ton. The only other time I can ever remember this happening was years ago when ebay instituted some new site design. I'd have to switch back to the older format in order for copy and paste to work. But that was years ago. And has long since stopped being an issue there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avenga76 835 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 I have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. It works fine on Chrome. It also happens on other forums which use the IP Board forum software so I think it is a browser interoperability issue with the forum software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky Davies 326 Report post Posted June 9, 2014 refresh browser, deleting cookies etc should fix it. or total reinstall of a browser. CHEERS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulG 79 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 Ran into this issue on another website. Luckily they were aware and popped up this link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Midas/Security_preferences Test copy/paste: tried it on a couple, its only on this website, seems to work fine everywhere else. It works now. Assuming nothing was done by you guys to address the issue yourselves. Directions are pretty technical though. So you need to follow them closely.

Wid_Fo! 48 Report post Posted November 14, 2014 It seems the copy/paste gremlin has struck again I cannot add in links or photos to any post I want to make. Using the tool icons (link or image) above in the topic reply toolbar, opens up a dialogue box to paste in your chosen link or pic as normal, but pasting in the text then clicking the OK button then opens another box saying that some of the information has changed and you can either click OK or cancel. This then goes and I'm left with the original dialogue box, my pasted in text and a greyed out screen behind. It's not possible to close the dialogue box by clicking cancel or the X button in the top right of the box. The only way to clear it, is refresh the screen and this will close the dialogue box and also erase the text I have typed into the main reply box (what you're reading here)...not too frustrating! I've cleared IE cache, refreshed IE, wiped clipboard etc. All the usual stuff and I have no problem using another forum's reply/post topic boxes when including links and/or uploading images. The annoying thing is it was working ok here last week and it's only been the last couple of days that I can't do any of the aforementioned. Kinda stumped now so any suggestions would be appreciated. I would post up some screen shots to help but that's a bit difficult at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Maltby 185 Report post Posted November 14, 2014 It's an IE issue. If you press F12 before posting it will refresh the page and then work, pain in the backside tbh. There are JavaScript errors on the page - I say errors just changes that MS made in their wisdom that cause older code to not work on their later bowser versions. For example they changed one of the field types for a very common function so it now always falls over. F12 lets you change to emulate an older browser version, not that I have to do that, just pressing F12 and leaving the dev IE box open while posting does the trick.

Wid_Fo! 48 Report post Posted November 14, 2014 Cheers mate, I shall give it a go Nope still won't work F12 brings up the console dialogue box and shows various SCRIPTS errors, saying access denied. Tried switching the compatibility over on IE, still not able to post links etc and I've lost the "Quote" button ability as well now...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
