    How do you cut, copy and paste when you're typing a post? I haven't been able to figure out how. There's no edit menu on the little window and I can't find any commands that work. I'm hoping I'm just being a numbskull at not figuring out something obvious, b/c it's really a bummer if you can't. [sm=smack.gif]

    I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for but maybe these keyboard commands will help:

    Ctrl + C - copy
    Ctrl + X - cut
    Ctrl + V - paste

    Im not sure exactly what your looking for either but you can always highlight things and then right click and select cut or copy.... then go to where you want it and right click to select paste...

    Ya I've had this problem too.  I used to be able to do this on the old board but now when I right click to paste, there is not option to paste.  I'll have to try the Control + V thing.

    When I am typing in the separate "Reply to Message" box, those key commands only work on my Mac. But nothing works on my PC. There is no "copy, paste or cut" option given when I right click, when I am in that box, as there normally is.

    Can't you just click on the text, highlight it and then do control c to copy and then control v in the new post to paste?
