Cut and paste help

[kikie]

Hey, I found this thread so I can post my question.


Why can't I copy/paste when I make a post? I can copy things but I can't seem to paste these copies into my post.

You mean text? From here or somewhere else?

 

[kikie]

Text, smilies, everything.

 

[Beerz]

Weird, at least text should work perfectly. Not smilies or pictures, but text should.

How do you copy and paste? Hotkeys or menus?

 

[kikie]

Menus (mouse)

Okay, so what exactly doesn't work?

Have you tried pasting a text elsewhere (Windows editor)? Have you tried using hotkeys (<Ctrl>+<C> & <Ctrl>+<V>)? Or aren't you offered "paste" in the menu at all?

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't

I just tried to copy/paste a word text and a text from a website and it worked.
sometimes I try to copy/paste smilies from another source than GTP and it doesn't always work. Sometimes it does.

I can copy but when I try to paste this smilie into the post, the paste thing isn't highlightened.

You can't paste a picture into a post. Text will paste, a picture won't.

To get a picture into a post, you have to get its address and paste that, and use the image tags.

EDIT: Thread split and moved into here.

Thanks Daan. Will try that.

A couple of days ago I managed to copy a dancing banana and a woohoo in my post from another source. I can't find this post anymore but it worked without the image thing.





This the post: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showpost.php?p=3031583&postcount=37. I didn't use that IMG thing to post it. I used copy/paste.

I think you may be able to paste an image if you are using the WYSIWYG editor. That would explain why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, because using the quick reply is not WYSIWYG, even if you have that set in your preferences.

And on a sitenote, the forum translates the appropriate text into smilies. You find the texts that represent the smilies in the smilie list. So it may be that you can copy smilies as they are recognised as a text, while a picture is just a picture (or a link if you will).

Thanks Eric.
I remember that I changed the options in My GTplanet.

I'm so happy, w00t,

. I hope I won't get banned due to excessive use of smilies.
