Having a bit of a problem with the new format

[perch]

Since I am a slow typist it has been my experince in the past to type out my posts on my e-mail and then copy it and paste it on the "New Post" . this is'nt working for me now.
Ho can I do this ? I have a contribution that I would like to post but am at a loss.
Help would sure be appreciated.
Have'nt posted for quite a while but have been hanging around.
Thanks a bunch,
Perch

Perch,

It should work the same for you as before. You should still be able to copy and paste. I do it all the time.

just type out your response or contribution in the reply box and skip typing it in the email.

Norm, when you type slow, or post a long posting while trying to look up information the site times you out, and you loose what you typed.

Pearch, OK I just tried to cut and paste from my word processor to this site, it didn't work. I don't know what the trouble is but your not alone in that trouble.

Try Notepad. It's the text editor in Windows. See if that works. It might be the formatting characters that are being refused.

I just tried typing in my email, then I tried typing on a Word document then copying and pasting it to here. It worked. I typed the stuff, highlighted it with the mouse, then clicked the right button on the mouse and chose copy. I then came here, clicked the reply to thread, and then clicked the right mouse button and chose paste. It worked both times. Not sure why it isn't working for some folks.

perch:
can I get more details, because I cut and paste here all the time. I'd go nuts getting a new issue out if I couldn't (granted that's a short trip, but I'm just saying..)

What email client or word processor?
How are you copying the text (what keys did you push etc)
What browser are you using?
How are you pasting it into the edit box?
Which edit box? The quick reply? Or the "Go Advanced" edit box?

The details matter if I am trying to replicate it so I can fix it.

I didn't have the problem until I went to windows 7 yesterday with my new computer. an hour or so ago I switched from Internet explorer to google chrome, now it is working. I use the post quick reply link.

AH-HA! I knew I'd be able to blame it on Windows!

Yes, I am deep into that "elitist Mac User" mode again.
