both functions are the same but its not saving it for a paste. So now writing long stuff in word and copy pasting that over.

Ctrl C works for me and then I can right-click and Paste. I can't right-click and Copy though.

Right click, copy and right click paste work for me, Firefox

As does the highlight,Ctrl C, for copy, and Ctrl V for paste

ok, ive figured it out...
when your posting in the top right of the grey window (above the smiley selection!)
there is a little box with a big and a little capital A in it (its called 'switch editor mode') click that, wait a moment until your text moves
and then for some reason you can cut, copy and paste again

i have to copy each reply or they just keep dissapearing and there is nothing worse than writing something out and losing it!

Or you could go to User CP and change Miscellaneous Options to Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls.

I had mine set to Advanced - Full WYSIWYG editing which I would have thought was better. However it took away the Copy & Paste options. Seems a bit odd.

BUMP!!

Can we have an official reply to this please? I REALLY miss this function.

This function was bringing down the forums on a regular basis, so it has been diabled until we figure out a way of tweaking it to make it more efficient.
Sorry for any incoveniences caused,
Thank you.

Natasha, please let me know privately if I can be of assistance. There's usually some way.

There is still a way to find all thanked posts, however as Admin has said it can bring the forums down I won't shout about it but I'm sure you intelligent folk can work out how.
