Can't Copy/Paste

Title basically says it all. Cleared all cookies. On iPhone, if that matters. Wasn't initially having this problem when I signed up here, but it's been giving me issues for the last couple of days. Not sure if anybody else is having a problem with this.

Thanks in advance
:D

What's the extension of the image? It might not be added to the list of allowed images yet.

Apparently, the C&P only works with images from the web and not images stored on your device. I tried it on my laptop and it wouldn't allow stored images but worked fine from the web.

You're gonna have to use the attachment tab below and you have to be in full editor too.

I guess I should've elaborated ;)

I can post pics just fine (by adding attachments). I can't copy/paste text here. I "quoted" a post here, earlier this morning, and tried "breaking it up" into 2 separate quotes to address 2 separate statements/questions individually. In the full editor, I couldn't copy anything (the text). I also copied the link to a YouTube video (on YouTube, not here) and it wouldn't let me paste it here

On my phone, if I hold down on what I want to Copy/Paste, the options to do so come up, but when I actually hit the copy or paste buttons nothing happens

Maybe my phone's just acting up because I didn't initially have this problem (?) :D

Sometimes if right-click-copy and right-click-paste don't work, I can still use control-c and control-v.

I might have figured out the problem. You can't C&P in a quick reply window, only the full editor. Try that and let me know.

Nope. Still can't. In "Quick Reply" or "Full Editor." Phone is working fine for C+P in texts, notes, other websites/forums. It's literally ONLY this forum, lol (shrug). So weird

Sorry to cause a ruckus :oops:

Wasn't working in the separate Google app on my phone, but looks like it's working fine in Safari :roll:

Thanks again, and sorry to make you go through all of that work for nothing! :)

Obviously it's your phone Mike. Throw that thing away and go out and mortgage the house for that next new-fangled, does everything, turn on the lights, walk the dog, pick up the kids new phone. MIGHT work then. :mrgreen:

If it comes with a built-in beer fridge, I might think about it ;)
