EDIT: In a related matter, did you know that the word 'gullible' is not in the dictionary? :)

What I said was correct, but it must have looked pretty stupid trying to paste different blocks of text and removing them just to discover that everything is as it should be and had always been. Which is kind of similar to the classic 'gullibility test'.

Try CTL-V and CTL-C to Copy and Paste.  See if that works.

What you actually said was rude. Everything is NOT
quote:

as it should be and had always been.

If you had bothered to read the MANY complaints in the General forum about this very problem, and that memebers of the Matrix Staff are working to fix these things, you might have saved yourself the time wasted making your comment, as well as the time we wasted reading it.

The fact that you had no problem does not negate the other fact that others may have had one; you are not the sole proprietor of knowledge about this, nor are you privy to the inner workings of the forum software that Matrix has installed. You do not know exactly what settings have been used, and whether one or more of them could be the culprit. As has been stated in the General forum thread, the probable issue is a Javascript problem, because similar things have happened in the past when the forum software has been upgraded. Without this knowledge, you could have simply, and graciusly, stated that you were not suffering any problems, and provided the browser and any settings that might be relevant. Instead you chose to insult someone for having a problem. How noble.

To trot out that old, childish "gullibility test" was uncalled for. If I were Alby, I believe I would ask you for an apology.

Once you get accustomed to it, it IS better than before.  Faster response, too. Nice.

Don't let the jerks drag you down.

Nor can i even copy from the Matrix General Discussion forum, or any other Matrix forum for that matter, and paste here.

This aint better

Status: offline 		Lemme test this:

"The concept of ad hoc "assault squads" had been done as early as Tarawa, but these were improvised from rifle and engineer units. The group that comprised "Forlorn Hope", led by MOH winner Alex "Sandy" Bonnyman, is a classic example.




The G-series Marine TOE formally established a 55-man Assault Platoon for each regiment. This was implemented in the organizations of the 1st, 2nd and 6th MarDiv"

(To Alby -- I just copied and pasted the above from another forum.)

Status: offline 		well I can paste from somwhere else using I.E.
but not with Firefox!

so either I can use firefox, copy only things here in my own message box.
but not be able to paste them elsewhere at matrix.

or Use I. E.  and be able to copy from somewhere else, but not be able to
copy from here. unless I use the cntl-C, Cntrl -V routine

It was much simpler before, highlight text, right click, copy- paste
not all this switch from one browser to another, hit cntl this, then cntl that

Below are two tests I just did using IE.  Both were done by highlighting the test, right click, copy then paste here.  Of course, this does not help You....
 
Trip
 
Copy Test from another site using IE
 
Sicily - Operation Husky
Colonel James Gavin's 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) and the 3rd Battalion of the 504th PIR parachuted to take the high ground near Ponte Olivo airfield northeast of Gela, Sicily on July 9,1943. Despite the wide scattering of the assault, the objectives were seized and the units linked up with the 1st Infantry Division the next day.

On July 11, 1943, the remaining Battalions of the 504th PIR were dropped in the vicinity of Gela with heavy losses from both the German and Allied (friendly fire) antiaircraft fire. Despite the heavy losses the division was moved up to the front by motor and reinforced by the 39th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Infantry Division on July 12, 1943. The crossings of Fiume delle Canno were secured on July 18, 1943 and the division pushed along the coastal highway, seizing the Marsala-Trapani area of Sicily's western coast by July 23rd.

All others are non-selective and there is NO copy command anywhere.  But one pops up when right clicking on other posts.  Hmmm...  Ya may have something.

You're making it too difficult. Look at the line "click here to upload".  I took that picture from my PC, and simply uploaded it.  Has to be in jpg format. Click "embed picture in post" and here it is. 

Put a pic you wanna upload on your HD,and use this method.
