Stolen Secret Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I don't know if this is really an important topic, but I can't paste anything I copy. It's really irritating. Especially if I have to copy and paste a table or a lot of information. Would appreciate it, if I could receive some feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanto Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Have you tried using Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V? I use it a lot and it works. It also works the normal right-click method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolen Secret Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well, I just tried doing that, but it didn't seem to work. Either that, or I'm doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsty Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 May I ask what you are trying to paste? The rich text editor can sometimes mess up and it copies the exact formatting and so it doesn't transfer properly especially things like tables. Try highlighting something, right click and copy as normal, but when you right click and paste select 'paste as plain text' instead. Try it now with the text in my post.

Vanto Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well, I just tried doing that, but it didn't seem to work. Either that, or I'm doing something wrong. Highlight the text you want to copy and click Ctrl + C. Then, press Ctrl + V where you want to paste it. Did you did it this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolen Secret Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I tried it both ways, the way you gentlemen explained. It does not seem to work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'm guessing you were probably trying to copy and paste white text which just wasn't showing up since, well the box is white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 One alternative is just copy-pasting as normal and then selecting all the text and pressing the eraser at the top in the rich text editor controls. That removes all of the formatting. GTANet | Red Dead Network | black lives matter | stop Asian hate | trans lives = human lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 When I copy something (that hasn't been posted on this forum) it wont let me paste it by right clicking the mouse and doing it that way. However if I use the Ctrl + V it will always let me paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai®a©ob®a Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I don't know if this is really an important topic, but I can't paste anything I copy. It's really irritating. Especially if I have to copy and paste a table or a lot of information. Would appreciate it, if I could receive some feedback.

I installed Firefox and i haven't had any issues since have you tried installing a new browser too see if it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Quote doesn't work on IE 11, it is a bug in IPB. GTANet | Red Dead Network | black lives matter | stop Asian hate | trans lives = human lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
