Can you be more specific about what you're trying to do? Copy and paste are browser functions, the site software has no control over them.

Zam92 - 2011-04-09 3:19 PM I have tried to copy and paste but nothing happpens.  How do you do it?

As Marmadaddy stated, please be more specific.

What OS are you using?  What browser are you using and version?  Can you copy/paste in any other program, i.e. if using Windows can you copy some text off the web and paste into Notepad?  Are you trying to copy/paste text or a picture?  Are you using the mouse to do the copy/paste or keyboard hotkeys method?

I can copy and paste in all other programs.  When I do it in BT a question mark appears.  The paste feature is not greyed out but nothing appears and later the ?.  I am using Explorer 7.0 with Windows XP.

Thanks.

How about this question, 'what' are you copying?  Is it from a Word Document, another web page, etc?

Ron - 2011-04-12 4:49 PM How about this question, 'what' are you copying?  Is it from a Word Document, another web page, etc?

I have the same issue at work using IE 7 and XP.  If you try to copy from another website into BT nothing happens.  Even URL's.  I have to go to HTML mode to paste.  A "?" ends up in the spot where you try to paste directly into the editor. 

I had just written it off to the HBSS/Anti-Virus/etc they use at work vs. home that caused this since I don't have the problem at home.

Is it possible that it's related to the following -

Do you use Firefox?  If so, do you still have the same issue in Firefox?

<p>I don't think it is related. I am using IE 7.0. </p><p>I don't get the clipboard message.  I just get a "?".  I think the "?" appears after I hit the "submit" button. </p>

Anytime I have weird copy and pasting issues, I always paste into Notepad first and then recopy and paste from there.  That will strip out any special characters, coding, formatting etc because Notepad only speaks text.
