Alby,
Below are two tests I just did using IE.  Both were done by highlighting the test, right click, copy then paste here.  Of course, this does not help You....

Copy Test from another site using IE
 
Sicily - Operation Husky
Colonel James Gavin's 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) and the 3rd Battalion of the 504th PIR parachuted to take the high ground near Ponte Olivo airfield northeast of Gela, Sicily on July 9,1943. Despite the wide scattering of the assault, the objectives were seized and the units linked up with the 1st Infantry Division the next day.

On July 11, 1943, the remaining Battalions of the 504th PIR were dropped in the vicinity of Gela with heavy losses from both the German and Allied (friendly fire) antiaircraft fire. Despite the heavy losses the division was moved up to the front by motor and reinforced by the 39th Infantry Regiment of the 9th Infantry Division on July 12, 1943. The crossings of Fiume delle Canno were secured on July 18, 1943 and the division pushed along the coastal highway, seizing the Marsala-Trapani area of Sicily's western coast by July 23rd.

I used to be able to "cut" my typed text, then paste it somewhere else.

I can "copy" now but can't paste back into my post...

Hmm seems i can right click and copy from posts, but not in my own "reply box"
&nbsp;

Let's try a pic. Sorry that it's off-topic , but I just uploaded this from my PC.&nbsp;

All of the former features are stll here. I don't understand why you guys are having so many problems.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Since there is nothing there to copy, I do see where I can:
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
All others are non-selective and there is NO copy command anywhere.&nbsp; But one pops up when right clicking on other posts.&nbsp; Hmmm...&nbsp; Ya may have something.

You're making it too difficult. Look at the line "click here to upload".&nbsp; I took that picture from my PC, and simply uploaded it.&nbsp; Has to be in jpg format. Click "embed picture in post" and here it is.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Put a pic you wanna upload on your HD,and use this method.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Alternatively, just copy the pic link:

who said anything about pictures???
i am just talking about text here.

Copy & Paste still works if you use the Edit button at the top of your browser window. It's only the right-click "hotkey" that isn't working under Firefox.

Highlight text in another post; click the Copy or Copy to Clipboard, depending on which you see. Click inside the Reply message box, then go up and select Edit, then Paste. Text now appears in your message area.
