JimD 3,347 #1 Posted December 3, 2011 I can't seem to be able to paste a link in a reply here on the new site. Anyone else having a problem? Is it in my settings, or do I need to do something to enable this? Thanks, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,289 #2 Posted December 3, 2011 What type of link are you trying to paste? Here is a link to McMaster and Carr that I just copied and pasted. http://www.mcmaster....#screws/=f7e80x I don't think that I have done anything other than a normal setup.

JimD 3,347 #6 Posted December 4, 2011 When I try to paste I get a drop-down window that says: Back forward reload stiop bookmark save page as send link view background image select all this frame view page source view page info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,878 #7 Posted December 4, 2011 If you're using a PC, instead of right clicking use <control> V which will paste the link, but right clicking in the window should work also (it does on a Mac) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,289 #8 Posted December 4, 2011 When I try to paste I get a drop-down window that says: Back forward reload stiop bookmark save page as send link view background image select all this frame view page source view page info Sounds to me like you did not get a good "COPY" when you tried to copy the link. If you just right click in the post having not copied anything, all you will get is the drop-down as described above. There has to be content on your clipboard in order for the paste option to show up. Does it work elsewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,347 #9 Posted December 4, 2011 http://www.google.com/ig Control v works but what a pain. I'm so used to just clicking it and it's there. I guess I'll have to adjust. :eusa-think: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,347 #10 Posted December 5, 2011 Ok, dumb question time. Why is it I an right click to paste in the chat room but I have to use control v in the forum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,878 #11 Posted December 5, 2011 You should be able to right click and paste in both. Is this what you are seeing? http://screencast.com/t/ylym2vzwgI8 There is an open report with IPB but it isn't likely that there will be a patch. The solution is to be sure your cursor is on an line then right click. Give that a shot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,347 #12 Posted December 5, 2011 Karl, when I right click to paste I get a white popup window with this information in it: Back forward reload stop bookmark save page as send link view background image select all this frame view page source view page info It doesn't link me to anything. I should get the popup window that says paste in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckrancher 2,694 #14 Posted December 5, 2011 I had that problem too Jim but I found that if I right click on the flashing line at the start of your sentence I got the little drop down box with paste in it Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
