I can't figure out what the problem is GW... the copy and paste works perfectly fine using the quick controls (ctrl+c and ctrl+v) and simply right clicking.
And also, just so you know, if you click the farthest button to the right next to Quote, and the " button next to it, opens up the quick replybox at the bottom of the screen so you don't have to load a new page to reply... much like the old gunboards forum.
But I don't quite understand why you can't highlight and copy some text and then paste it here... that's what I did on those other threads I posted here, and am having no problem still today cutting and pasting stuff. Try highlighting the area, and hitting CTRL+C and then coming over here, opening a new topic or hit reply, and put the cursor in the box and hit CTRL+V... shouldn't have a problem. If you are, let me know what you are wanting to paste over here, and I'll bring it over for you.
