anyone noticed new format

[Alby]

when you post or reply the format is new.
the only thing, i cant highlight my text and cut or paste anymore???

[FlashfyreSP]

Yes, I noticed it as well. But I can still highlight and cut-n-paste as usual.

[Alby]

while you are posting?
if I highlight this sentence, while posting and right click i see
"back", "select all" Create shortcut, add to favorites..bla bla...

[FlashfyreSP]

Nope...if I highlight, I see "Copy text to clipboard", "Print selected text", and other options.
Using Netscape 8.1 with Firefox display emulation.

[Alby]

[Alby]

Well, went back to system restore to a point before I downloaded IE 7
same thing for IE 6 no copy and paste
firefox still showing grey background no "I" start text indicator
ok I am not liking this
I can't "cut" anymore either
I can copy but Can't Paste!!!
[:(] [:@]

[FlashfyreSP]

Background is the same color as the rest of the page, a sort of soft grey. Big blinking black cursor for the "start point" of typing...smilies that appear in your draft like they would for real (no more keyboard code). So far, nothing wrong that I can see.

[Alby]

 yes i if hit the space bar the blinking cursor appears, but
sometimes it vanishes.
Can you "cut" ?

[FlashfyreSP]

Cut from where? Posted stuff on the page, of stuff I write? No, all I can do is copy to clipboard. If I want to cut, I highlight and "backspace". Removes it neatly.

[Alby]

 roger that same here, except for the "to clipboard" part???
I used to be able to "cut" my typed text, then paste it somewhere else.
if i wanted to move a sentence or something.
I can "copy" now but can't paste back into my post...

I can copy and paste as normal both in the fast reply field and the separate-window post reply. Using Firefox 1.5.0.2 on Gnome window manager.

EDIT: In a related matter, did you know that the word 'gullible' is not in the dictionary?

What I said was correct, but it must have looked pretty stupid trying to paste different blocks of text and removing them just to discover that everything is as it should be and had always been. Which is kind of similar to the classic 'gullibility test'.

Hi Guys
 
Try CTL-V and CTL-C to Copy and Paste.  See if that works.

What you actually said was rude. Everything is NOT

as it should be and had always been.

If you had bothered to read the MANY complaints in the General forum about this very problem, and that memebers of the Matrix Staff are working to fix these things, you might have saved yourself the time wasted making your comment, as well as the time we wasted reading it.

The fact that you had no problem does not negate the other fact that others may have had one; you are not the sole proprietor of knowledge about this, nor are you privy to the inner workings of the forum software that Matrix has installed. You do not know exactly what settings have been used, and whether one or more of them could be the culprit. As has been stated in the General forum thread, the probable issue is a Javascript problem, because similar things have happened in the past when the forum software has been upgraded. Without this knowledge, you could have simply, and graciusly, stated that you were not suffering any problems, and provided the browser and any settings that might be relevant. Instead you chose to insult someone for having a problem. How noble.

To trot out that old, childish "gullibility test" was uncalled for. If I were Alby, I believe I would ask you for an apology.

[Alby]

figure he was just being a jerk
so thought i'd play along
[8|]
not even worth my time Kev
[:)]

hmm background is now white when "replying" or "posting"
Cntl-C Cntl-V works for copying and pasting but my cursor keeps vanishing
so kinda hard to tell where I am pasting...[;)]

Thanks for reply Mr Heath

[KG Erwin]

Hey, I'm discovering that the new format IS getting easier to negotiate, so everything's cool. 

Once you get accustomed to it, it IS better than before.  Faster response, too. Nice.
 
Don't let the jerks drag you down.  [;)]

[Alby]

Geez now I notice I cant copy from any Word or Text Documents I have, nor from any other site, be it another forum, or a military site, or wherever, and paste here.
[:@]
Nor can i even copy from the Matrix General Discussion forum, or any other Matrix forum for that matter, and paste here.
[:(]
This aint better

[KG Erwin]

Lemme test this:

"The concept of ad hoc "assault squads" had been done as early as Tarawa, but these were improvised from rifle and engineer units. The group that comprised "Forlorn Hope", led by MOH winner Alex "Sandy" Bonnyman, is a classic example.




The G-series Marine TOE formally established a 55-man Assault Platoon for each regiment. This was implemented in the organizations of the 1st, 2nd and 6th MarDiv"
 
(To Alby -- I just copied and pasted the above from another forum.)

[Alby]

well I can paste from somwhere else using I.E.
 but not with Firefox!
 
so either I can use firefox, copy only things here in my own message box.
but not be able to paste them elsewhere at matrix.
 
or Use I. E.  and be able to copy from somewhere else, but not be able to
copy from here. unless I use the cntl-C, Cntrl -V routine
 
It was much simpler before, highlight text, right click, copy- paste
not all this switch from one browser to another, hit cntl this, then cntl that
