Professor Threadkiller Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I know it sounds stupid, but I can't get the paste function to work. I can copy text to my clipboard, but when I right click and choose "paste", nothing happens. Shift-insert doesn't do anything. None of three "paste" buttons up above work either. I can hit one of the buttons and I get the pop-up box "If you allow this, the webpage can access the Clipboard, etc..." I hit "allow access", but still no paste. So... Any guidance as to whether it's PEBKAC or something wrong on the site? Something so simple, but when it doesn't work, you realize how much you need it!! I used to be able to paste just fine. Now, sometime in the past few weeks something happened and now I can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarner Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I've had this problem as well. It's particularly frustrating went trying to paste a website link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Threadkiller Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Well at least I got over the first hurdle. I feel a little better already knowing that it's not just me and thanks for that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Then the issue is the latest IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Threadkiller Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Not sure if what I have is the latest version, but I'm running Windows 7 and IE 11.Anyone got a workaround or setting I can tweak to get it working again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Posted Today, 01:03 PM Actually I'm running Windows 7 64 bit under the latest IE. Mine works. Pasted the above from Post #5. I have 32 bit Windows 7, with Chrome browser. Text will cut and paste, images won't. Maybe there's an image in the text you think you've cut. For quite a while I had all three of the main browsers installed. Each one had its own strengths. IE and Firefox bloated and slowed pretty rapidly over the last year though. Chrome works great. As far as privacy, it's pretty apparent now that there is none, no matter what browser you use. Pasted an image below just to be sure. edit - well I guess some images do paste. Better.

Professor Threadkiller Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 No, there were no images, just simple text. I dug around on the site and determined that the forum S/W is from IP Board (lower right hand corner of the footer at the bottom of the pages). Then I searched for "problems with paste IP board". It's clearly not a unique issue, http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/bugs.html/_/ip-board/problem-with-copy-paste-r32040http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/bugs.html/_/ip-board/internet-explorer-11-copy-paste-issue-r42941http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/514262/cant-paste-text-on-bc-using-ie-11 There's apparently an issue with IP board and IE 11. However... No, there were no images, just simple text. No, there were no images, just simple text. No, there were no images, just simple text. And... Paste seems to work just fine in Chrome. So I guess I've got my workaround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I use Win 7 64 bit and Chrome, zero issues with copying or pasting. I use ctrl+v to paste though. Chrome >> IE. Since switching to Chrome years ago, I have had a lot less browsing issues than I had with I.E. or even when I HAVE to use I.E. (some websites I use the specific features of require I.E. to be used :facepalm: ). Give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 This has been the situation forever, no linking either. About time it was fixed, it's hardly been a secret, I wouldn't bother but these faults are detrimental to this exceptional site which used to be the best depositary of accessible Z car knowledge and discussion. To head off the 'it must be your system' excuse, no problem with five other forums so back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Threadkiller Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I'm using Chrome for this site now.That's how I did this: No, there were no images, just simple text. No, there were no images, just simple text. No, there were no images, just simple text. And... Paste seems to work just fine in Chrome. So I guess I've got my workaround?

260DET Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 So the deliberate arrangement whereby HybridZ is effectively isolated from the rest of the Z enthusiast forum world is going continue, for no apparent reason other than perhaps a overinflated ego or two is perhaps involved. Or is it just plain obstinate bastardry? Pathetic anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socorob Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 after copying, hold the ctrl button down and press v, the keyboard shortcut for paste works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
