I've never had this happen.

My copy and paste function, going from photobucket to this place for example, won't work.

??? Any ideas?

I'm going to go to Mac support now to see if I can find any info. Oh, and I'll go to Photobucket's help site also.

Weird.

Copy and paste worked in my word processing program....."Pages"

Not working on Internet programs. :-(

It's a photobucket problem. I think.

Photobucket problem. Sorry. Found the answer, but now I can't get the solution to work. Too long to explain.

I wish I could delete this thread! Todd, you can do that if you want! :-)

Made it work. :heavysigh:

lol...what were you doing wrong?

Yeah, Photobucket has a problem with that. They use some kind of fancy javascript that screws it up.

FOREVER, all I've had to do to copy something from photobucket and paste it here was to left click on the image code and then the word "copied" would flash, then I would right click and paste.

Two nights ago it wouldn't copy the code.  I read in their tech support message board section that they've done something with their Adobe flash program and it's messed that up.  It said to manually copy the code (drag and highlight) and then paste.  It was a little difficult at first as everything would highlight, instead of just the code I needed.

Also, the problem started back in Nov, I guess.  That's when photobucket recommended to copy code manually.  Just started for me.  ???

Oh well.  Maybe they'll fix it and make it super easy again.

What a pain. That took me several attempts to post that little green guy. Ugh.....I don't have time to fool with it now.

If you want to add a smiley here, just let me know.

Thanks Doc. It is a real pain to manually copy and paste from photobucket now. That should sound very easy, but I have to be very careful when I highlight the code, hold down the control key, copy and then paste. Sometimes it takes me several attempts to make it work.

They upgraded to Adobe 10 or something and that has messed it up. Maybe they will be able to fix it soon, I hope.

Added your green smiley.

PMC likes to "sigh" a lot.
