Before was able to copy an article off the net and paste it in a reply or new thread typing box by right clicking paste directly in the reply box. ... now that is gone. What changed?

Nothing on our end. Works for me. Try clearing your browser cache, logging out, then back in, or restarting the browser. Worse case, a reboot most likely would solve it.

nope still doesn't work... dunno what how or anything to make it work again... very frustrating... someone is going to have to hold my hand and walk me step by step on how to correct this problem... I'd really like to be able to copy a quote from someone's post and paste it in my reply (breaking it up or from another thread) or copy something from my computer (text) and pasting it or whatever... a news article whatever!

ARRGGH...

help.

Instead of right clicking and hitting paste place the cursor in the reply box where you want the article to begin and hold down the shift key and hit "insert" or "Ins" key. That may work.

copy and pasting into a text box would be a issue on your end, not on martialtalk's.

I've had this happen too, usually the refresh button took care of it for me though, does copy and paste work on other sites?

shut your computer completely down. Unplug it. Wait for a full 30 seconds. Plug the computer back in. Restart it.

Aye, it works elsewhere but not here. Also (gently spoken :wink1: ) never said it was a MT problem... :D

I'll try those suggestion and see what happens.

I've had this problem before - still do. Followed all the above advice as well, still have it. I can copy, but not paste in the text box, say, for this post. Where I'm typing right now, I can't right-click paste nor use the "paste" button on my keyboard - neither will work. So I added a paste button on the Firefox browser toolbar and use it instead.

If you ever figure it out, lemme know.

I have the same problem. Sometimes the right click paste works sometimes it doesn't.

What I have to do is to click in the text message box to get the cursor where I want it then go to my browser title menu "Edit" and select paste from than menu.

I am using Firefox as my browser.

I also use Firefox. When I copy, I will right click. When I want to paste, I will use the edit droplist from the top of the browser, not the right click within the text box. That's how I do this with MartialTalk and Firefox.

For those of you using Firefox, there are two potential problems.

1 - Firefox will randomly stop copying, and restarting the program will help. This occurs with all operating systems and Mozilla products.

2 - The other problem is not a bug, but is caused by malware on your machine. This only occurs on Windows PCs and results in a complete inability to copy and past in Firefox.

To solve the first problem, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/upgrade-2.html and upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.4

The second problem is a bit trickier.

1 - IMPORTANT! Close all Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer windows.
2 - Click on start
3 - Click on 'run'
4 - Type regedit.exe and hit OK.
5 - Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Windows
6 - On the right hand side you should see a string called AppInit_DLLs with a value of pushow*.dll (*will be a random number)
7 - Right click and delete this string, then exit regedit.
8 - Open windows explorer
9 - Browse to C:\windows\system32\
10 - In that folder there will be a file called pushow*.dll where the * is the same number you saw above. Delete all pushow*.dll files.

And you're done!
