NC Scroller Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 For some strange reason I can't seem to be able to paste items into threads here on SSV. It is just on SSV since I can use Copy and Paste on other sites I frequent. I am not sure when the issue started. If it matters I recently became a patron here on SSV.

Travis Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 A couple of people had a similar issue in this thread.Seems to be a problem with Internet Explorer. Lots of people are having trouble with copy and paste (https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=IE11%20can't%20paste). There really isn't a good solution from what I can tell. It seems most people get frustrated with IE and switch to Firefox or Chrome. Here's a workaround, though. In the upper left corner, click the icon that looks like a light switch. This will take you into BB Code. You can paste your text there. It will strip away all of your formatting (if you created any). Then click it again to get back into your formatting mode.

BTW the issue also impacted my ability to do a Quote or MultiQuote here at SSV. The only way I was able to do the quote here is by clicking the "light switch". It is just strange it only happens here but I have seen stranger things on the internet. Thanks Travis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
