I don't know why this happens ?
Not just websites, but anything I want to copy & paste, but doesn't happen every time.

What do I need to do ?

Thank you,
Kevin

Anything.... lol

I left click, highlight, copy, then paste. Whither it's a link to a website like, OPRHEK (have a question on my new thread about them) to copy to that information and post it. Any other site or even from my email that has information I want to past.

I know for a while I could not separate a sentence, so I posted asked a member and told me to click on the "A", at the top left that says, "switch Editor to source mode" and it worked. Their were other members that had the same problem. I don't suppose it's something like that ?

I tried to copy & paste your pic thread here, and did not work. I copied the name of your lighting company from your thread then pasted it on Google and worked just fine.

By the way, your tank is very impressive. Great job !

Does it happen on any other forums or just here? I just copied and pasted your post and it worked fine.

I can't paste here on my Samsung tablet either. I have to use tapatalk. I asked about it a while back but seems I was the only one. Dont have any trouble any where else.
 
It makes me wonder if the text or image is being successfully copied to the clipboard. If the paste fails, can you paste the text elsewhere, word document, notepad, etc.?

Are you using a PC or Apple computer?

Did the problem just start or has it been problematic for a while?

If running Internet Explorer version 11, take the following steps to add this site to it's list of sites to run in compatibility mode and see if that helps.

1) Have the home page of this site open in your browser
2) Press the "Alt" key and the "T" key together at the same time. (This will open the browser's tool menu.)
3) Left click "Compatibility View Settings"
4) Left click "Add"
5) Left click "Close"

Tradewinds-

I have a PC and a tablet, and it happens with both. Can't a moderator help us out ? I wrote to one days ago, no reply yet, but I know their busy. I just tried to copy and paste your steps, and part of this thread notice sent from R2R in my email, but did not work either ?
 
Are you clicking "Edit" and "Copy" or are you using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C?

Do you have the same problem using either method?
 
I left click, run across what I want to copy, high light, right click on the blue high light and click on copy then paste. That's the way I do on all other websites, email etc.....with no issues, just here.
 
A problem I had a few weeks ago, I could not drop down a sentence, and one member said to click on the button on the left side, "aA", switch editor to source mode", and it worked. So, is there button/tab or everywhere else on the site ?
 
Hopefully a moderator can provide some insight. It would also be interesting to hear if others are encountering the same problem.
 
Yes please !

More I've found. I can copy anything here and paste it on my home email.

I can's use some of the dashboard either. Like clicking on the font size, smiley face, link, color, image, video ?
But I can use the, Bold, Italic & Underline ?
