Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Can anyone enlighten me as to why the hell IE won't allow pasting in to forum posts atm? It used to until fairly recently and is really rather annoying! Are there any settings in IE I need to change to enable it or is it just MS being an ass as usual? Please be aware I'm not interested in advice on which browser I should be using, I have Firefox installed also. <edit> typo Edited December 23, 2013 by Cohen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 23, 2013 I Only switched to IE as Chrome stopped allowing access to web sites. I am also unable to Paste when replying using IE11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) A quick google search(https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=IE11%20can%27t%20paste) reveals that plenty of people having the problem but no one's had any real solutions beyond don't use IE, which I 100% agree with. I didn't think anyone actually really used IE anymore except the people that didn't really know other browsers existed.

Posted December 24, 2013 I am/was just to lazy to switch. Anyone recommend a good browser? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 24, 2013 You can actually paste, but you have to click a few times on the first line of the post. If you click lower in the window it's not going to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 24, 2013 you may also want to try the little light switch at the top left of the screen. I'm sorry I don't know the proper name for this switch but it works for me when nothing else seem to work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) to be more clear if you are posting in a Wum form there is a line just above the reply box it has options for bold italic and such. the far left of that option line has a little switch. flip that switch and you should be able to paste.this reply brought to you by Google Voice to Text Edited December 24, 2013 by Gramuly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
