It's not just you nor is it just here. I have seen that issue on other sites as well. Or should I say issues like that. I am not sure if it is the softwar or if it is the users PC that causes the problem. One thing that I see my wife do when she composes long posts... She creates the post in a word document first and then copies and pastes it in. I will look around and see if it is something from here.

I also compose long postings in word with promps where the pics are to go then copy and paste it into the forum.  You can always tell when I've done a post this way :-   :scratch:


No spelling mistakes  :headbang:

I was ok starting in Open Office (Ubuntu), & pasting in.
The problem came when I ran out of time to finish, & tried to copy & paste back into document to save for another day.  :scratch:

This always works perfectly with my other forum......  ::)

Hey David,

I'm asuming you are using Firefox/Mozilla as your web browser?

There is a known issue with the Gnome clipboard manager in some versions of Ubuntu you could try to install the Parcelite clipboard manager which will almost certainly solve your problems by all accounts.

The download link is herehttp://parcellite.sourceforge.net/

Well....... It`s happened again!

Or, rather it hasn`t.......  ::)

I know nothing about this box of buttons.
Only that I`m on Ubuntu & Firefox, and it works for me...... Mostly!  :thumbup:

When it goes wrong, my computer wizz, 37yr old son eventually calls in and sorts it.....Usually.  :clap:

SEVEN times over, it has copied & pasted perfectly...... When he was here this afternoon.  :bang: :bang:

It has just operated perfectly again, posting Chester Mini Mill......  ::)

I just wish he wouldn`t laugh so much, when he`s on his way home.......  :doh:

David H,

Thanks for the link.
Something to save for the future, maybe.......

Embarrassed of Staveley.
