Hey, I was just wondering: is there any particular reason I can't copy text from quoted posts and edit them to my already posted responses? (like, for example, I quote the wrong post and/or want to add multiple quotes but forgot to click the "multi-quote" icon)

Is this an actual thing with the boards or just something wrong with my thing?

Just so I'm clear on this, You can't copy text that have quote tags around them?

If that is the case then I think it's on your end.

Nope. (Nope as in I can't copy text)

For example, I selected the quote button to quote you. I cannot copy ANY of the text that I have quoted, or that I am typing right now from the posting box I am typing in this very second before hitting submit.

Wow... It's definitely on your end. When did the problem start? What browser are you using?

Wow... It's definitely on your end. When did the problem start? What browser are you using?I've had the problem since I first signed up here. I use I.E., but the weird thing is it's just this site. I can do it on TFW and other sites, and I can still copy text from this site, just not from the posting box while I'm replying.

Oh crap... I just figured it out. Y'know that little "Switch Editor Mode" button in the very top right corner of this reply box? Yeah, I clicked that and problem solved.

:o

Great! I never knew what that button actually did, now I know never to click it.:)
