Is there a way to paste something that you have copied unto this site. Sometimes I would like to be able to post something I have posted on another site, or copy and post a long URL rather than having to type it all over again.
Have I missed something somewhere?

Thanks, LIKENIT

There sure is! Like any Windows based program, you can copy from another site and paste in the reply block here.

In fact, when I'm sent a good joke I want to share with the gang here, that's the way I post it.

I see where I can past in a reply, but I don't seem to be able to paste to post a new question in a particular area. When I go to the top of the window to edit in order to paste, the screen to paste my post on disapears.

Go to the light blue tool bar at the top of any forum page and click on "New" and then "Discussion" to start a new thread.

To copy:

Highlite the words or area you want to copy by dragging your cursor over that area making it turn dark, place your cursor on the highlited area, right click on it and in the box that appears, click "copy".

To Paste:

Bring up a "reply" or "new" box, place your cursor in the blank message area, right click on it and in the box that appears, click "paste"

Experiment!.... you won't hurt anything.

If you don't like what you see, there is a little yellow file folder with a pensil eraser on it in the lower right corner of the post you made which will allow you to edit or delete the post.
