I'm getting kind of annoyed by the message boxes in the forums not letting me paste things into them! Can somebody make it?

?

You can paste.

It's probably just your browser or maybe you're on mobile?

I am using Google. I'm talking about when I right-click the box, there is no "paste" option. I know I copied some text earlier, but the site won't let me paste it.

If you're using a keyboard, then holding ctrl + v is an easy way to paste things. And ctrl + c for copying.

I assume that would be the first thing he tried, I mean unless...huh, actually, Azure, have you tried CTRL V?

It's definitely something on your end.

Could be he's using the rich text editor. That thing was always wonky.

Are you using CYS on mobile by any chance?

Also, this would be a bug, also please specify what you're trying to paste

 

Are you talking about images and stuff disappearing by chance?

This thread is just begging to be renamed "Let me eat paste!"

I got the thread what it wanted so it would stop whining.

It's a browser/CKEditor thing. It's a bit picky, but if you right click around where the text cursor is, you should actually get a menu with the paste option. ...And then it'll tell you to use the keyboard command for paste anyway.

(Security reasons. Usually you wouldn't want any old iframe to have access to your clipboard data.)

Alright, got it. Thanks, all of you.
