why cant you copy and paste anything off AB?
It ALL goes blue if you try.

[weeal]

eh?
which bit u copying and what u pasting onto?

[wizard69]

weeal...for instance, if I wanted to copy and paste your reply, (for use in another thread, say) then I cannot, as when I try to highlite anything, the entire screen turns blue. Is it a problem with my computer?

[weeal]

yeah its your PC wizard

or your wee moose? is it set fast?

[wizard69]

will have to check settings (im a technophobe, so may take time .lol) However its fine anywhere else for c&p
Thanks for taking the time to answer

[weeal]

i am just assuming of course

but i can copy n paste ok within AB so unsure what the problem is at your end, soz

i always highlight anything from the end, working backwards if that helps any, seems more accurate for some reason to sit at the last letter and mouse backwards on it

C&P working here, too

[weeal]

It works if you use firefox but not internet explorer.
The "refresh post" is the other way round. It works in IE but not firefox
AAARRGGHH!!!!

[wizard69]

So it may not be my computer then square?
weeal...are you on firefox then?

[aka pixi]

I have internet explorer and it works for me (i just tried lol) I

[squarebear]

No it isn't your computer. It doesn't do it for me either using Internet Explorer. It just highlights the whole page. Works a treat using firefox though.

[wizard69]

so why the f*ck can some c&p and others can't?
sheesh...

[weeal]

ive never heard of firefox, Im IE

the plot thickens

[wizard69]

aint technology a wonderful thing?

wizard- if you right click at the end of the text you want copying three times, control C then control V to copy it, it works- it's a bit crap, but it does work- honest!

[aka pixi]

wizard you have to do the highlighting pretty slowly otherwise it goes mad and highlights the whole page

[wizard69]

pixi...no matter how slow I go, it still high lites it all.
Boo...right clicking does nothing, but left clicking 3 times does highlite the text so we are getting closer. However, nothing after that (control c etc) works

[weeal]

gawd you'd be quicker re-typin it lol

what u copying lol

[weeal]

wizards are you using IE version 7?
