Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 9, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 9, 2014 OK: in Firefox, on both Mac and PC Control+C, followed by Control+V does not copy and paste text. http://www.lotus7.club/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png.That's a bu88er. I have found that Control+C (or Command when working on a Mac) and Control+V does not work. I have dodged around this once in the past fortnight by pasting into Notebook and copying from there into my entry box. - See more at: http://www.lotus7.club/forum/test-area/copy-and-paste-test#sthash.7GqxmLgf.dpuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 9, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 9, 2014 OK, I have boxed the text in the formating controls (which can be revised using the Remove Format button) but by copying to Notepad and from there to the entry box does work.Now let's find out what some of the other controls do.

I have dodged around this once in the past fortnight by pasting into Notepad and copying from there into my entry box.OK: This might be how it is supposed to work, although it results in more clicks that the old system.That was created using the source button. Select Source, then text from the post you wish to quote, then copy and paste. Then enter the preceeding text (to indicate from where your text has come) and the succeding text before boxing the quotation. http://www.lotus7.club/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.pngIs there an easier way?

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 9, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 9, 2014 It certainly allows you to quote a particular item, but is laborious compared to the or [pQuote] we are used to using.All the formating is nice but several items are a mystery to me. I have no idea what "separate teaser and body" means (yet but I am about to find out), nor yet IFrame and what a a Div Container is (apart from something you use for dim people (unPC, I know)). Lilkewise what Blocks can I show? I can use the block quote, once I have used Source to copy and paste someone's text. Long way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 9, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 9, 2014 If I select Boxed first I can never get out of the box (I am trying to think outside the box) but the system will not let me. http://www.lotus7.club/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angry_smile.pngNor can I revist and return to standard entry. I can turn it into an "Intro Paragraph" with bigger text.You have to click the div container, hit return (there is an entry box - but for what?) then you can return to standard entry.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 9, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 9, 2014 I am, at the moment, of the opinion that the DotNetNuke forum software is better than the Drupal one selected.Here are screen shots of the appearance.Our current forums look like this:http://www.stephenhubbard.biz/MiscPix/Forum1Our AR Forums, in use since 2007http://www.stephenhubbard.biz/MiscPix/Forum2.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 12, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted October 12, 2014 Here I am trying to attack the Quote issue."Reply to" is not satisfactory for several reasons.If you are replying to a post, you may not be commenting upon the entirety of the post, just to particular points.The post replied to may be separated from the response by several others (BlatChat being a busy forum) and scrolling back and forth is wasteful,It was frequently the case that a poster would address several points, sometimes by several posters, and respond point by point, interleaving original points with their replies. This is helpful and adds clarity. To use the "Quote" button, it appears to require text entry.either by handor by copying and pasting using the "source" facility.Silly This appears to be the closest to BC second favouriteThe "source" facility is slow and inconvenient for a couple of reasons.Firstly you are adding keystrokes to the chain to get in and out of the facility. Secondly, the entry window changes to a code based visual appearance rather than WYSIWYG which is a shock the first time and which I would find confusing if I was trying to insert the section within a reply I had already started.Thirdly, there is a reference added at the end of the portion copied, which, within a thread is a lot less useful than an opening statement "Quoting Golf Juliet Tango"I can see that this will be a difficult item to conquer.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted November 8, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 8, 2014 The prohibition on Copy and Paste applies not merely in BlatChat but elsewhere too. I tried to copy my Area Meeting notification to create this month's entry but had to copy to Notepad, edit there, then paste the result into the site.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted November 21, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 21, 2014 Friday 21 November. Working within Firefox on a Mac.Highlight.CMD+C, followed by CMD+V does NOT result in anything beyond a jump to the post I had highlighted.I've been using this procedure since the 1990s, why has it been discarded. I'll try again on a PC when I return (2 hours or so) Still on a Mac: try right-click and Copy, then a Paste box appears, Select and an "error" box appearsBecause of your browser security settings, the editor is not able to access your clipboard data directly. You are required to paste it again in this window.Please paste inside the following box using the keyboard (Ctrl/Cmd+V) and hit OKSomething odd has happened to the formatting (when I was trying to box the error message). All I can add to the error message is that this NEVER happens anywhere else.My security settings are "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons" "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries" all selected. Strikes me as pretty ordinary.IF the software means PRIVACY settings they are "tell sites that I do not want to be tracked" and "private browsing mode" I still don't understand why Copy from a right click differes from the same command from a keyboard. Here I am at Ascot.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 13, 2014 Author Area Representative Share Posted December 13, 2014 I still can not make CMD+C followed by CMD+V work.Nor the obvious alternative of highlight - right click Copy - move - right click paste.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted March 16, 2015 Author Area Representative Share Posted March 16, 2015 Android L issue, in that the meaning of their pictograms are unclear (or ineffective). It is also unclear to me what different duration of contact with the screen The scissors are obviously "cut", but which is "paste" I can not work out.
