copy paste security

[maritimer]

what’s the reason we can’t copy paste anything from this site?
it is just a chat forum

can’t even paste anything we have written ourselves

i am presently on 6 boards some of which have much more sensitive info and have never seen this

just wondering

not sure what you want to copy or paste, but I have no trouble if I want to do so……meanwhile, wouldn’t that question be better addressed to the Administrator of the site?

Or, are you referring to the many articles and links from the home page?
Those are proprietary, I believe.

I copy from Notepad or another simple text editor (where I normally type up my posts) and paste into the Discussion Forum nearly every time I post so the problem is not the forum.

I dunno . . . The following is a copy/paste copy of the original question in this thread and John Dungan’s reply. What can’t be copied and pasted?

You are free to email any Discussion Forum information you wish to someone for private use – not commercial use.

What wouldn’t work obviously is to email them the URL because they cannot access it unless they are registered as a member – which most forums require.

Having said that, standard membership (including access to the Discussion Forum) on WeLoveCostaRica.com is simple, fast and free so if they couldn’t be bothered registering, I would suggest they’re probably not going to be that interested in the contents…

hmmmmmmm……..strikes me that perhaps you could stand to make use of your own PC’s (or, are you using a Mac?) Help and Support system. Notepad is a standard inclusion in most Windows applications that allows one to quickly and painlessly create documents. Smaller than Wordpad, but much like it. Just go to your start (or, in Vista & prolly Win7, the windows logo at the bottom, left of your screen. Click on it, and look for Help and Support, then click on that………ask it anything you want……..you’ll be amazed (if you’ve never done this before) at the vast information you can find.

On my iMac, Command-C and scroll-down copies anything.

Command-V pastes it. In a new location.

I’m sure I remember a similar function from Windows XP and its predecessors although I’m trying hard to forget.

yes macbook i tried a few different ways to copy paste a few different conversations from the discussion forum onto my email it worked until i hit send so i figured there may be a security block guess the problem is me and this thread is useless thank you for the feedback and sorry for wasting your time

Try pasting it into word or a similar program first.
