Lightningfall Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 So, @Timberwolf, I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but I can't select more than a single word in any of the forums. 1 Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I’m sorry @Lightningfall, I don’t think I understand. What are you trying to select, what are you using? Also, can you take screen shots? Quote
Lightningfall Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm using Microsoft Edge and I can't select a single word of text in any post on the board. For example, if I wanted to quote just the last sentence of your post I'd have to Quote the whole thing and then delete the parts I don't want by using backspace. Even if I wanted to edit my own post, before I post it, I can only select one word at a time, not a whole line, or 5 words, just one. I'd take a screen shot, but I don't think it would help you very much. As a note, I was able to select things just fine yesterday. 1 Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Interesting. It sounds like a browser issue, but I’m not sure. When I’m back in the office, I’ll fire up the dreaded Edge and see what I can see. Quote
Lightningfall Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Sounds good. Now, remember that this is Microsoft's new browser Edge, not the old Explorer. 1 Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 LOL. If I’m not mistaken, it’s just rebranded. Lol. But yes, I will have a look. Lol. I am particular to Chrome and Opera at the moment. I wish Apple would update Safari for Windows, but I don’t think they will. Lol. Quote
Lightningfall Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 They've made some changes, but yeah, it's mostly the same browser. I'm not a huge fan of Chrome, I have to use it at work a lot and it really doesn't do the things that I need it to do. I used Opera many, many years ago, but it kind of went to crap. Maybe it's better now, but for a long time it was just terrible. As far as Safari goes, I'm not a huge Apple fan either. I do know that they're not making it a priority. Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 What is it about Chromd you don’t like? Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 @Lightningfall, when did this stop working? Do you know? Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I found out what the problem is. Damnbitalltohellphuker! Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 @Lightningfall, you should be able to highlight and copy/paste now. Damn Edge.. 1 Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I would like to formally lodge a complaint against Microsoft for making the 2 shittiest browsers still running. Lol. 1 Quote
Lightningfall Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks, Dom, you're awesome! So, what was the problem? Sounds like something that shouldn't have been a problem. Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Because so many coders don’t like Internet Explorer and Edge, they tend not to rest things on there. The person who made the back to top button being one. So when I have that enabled, you can’t select anything. I have to go back to him and see if there is a fix. 1 Quote
Lightningfall Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Ah, I see. Well, far be it from me to deprive the rest of the board the back to top button. I can do without the selection options for a while, it's not that big of a deal. Crap, I can download Firefox or something if I need to. Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Lol. When I started using the Internet, I used Internet Explorer. When I started doing more and more, and talked to more coding people, so many recommended to not use IE (still do to this day), and they switched to FireFox, so I did. Then FireFox started to become clunky and frustrating, so I switched to Opera. That was good till so many people recommended Chrome because it was stripped down, so I did. I got into using Safari because of my MacBook and my iMac. When Apple priced me out of their computers, I switched back over to a PC, and that’s how I found out that Apple no longer supports the PC version of Safari, so I did some research and Chrome and Opera were recommended. Lol. I can leave it off for now and see what the cider says about the back to topbutton. Lol. 1 Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I'm going to take a guess and say you can;t copy again? I tried to message the developer, but he doesn't support the plug in. I can turn it off. @Lightningfall Quote
Lightningfall Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 I can't, no, but it's fine. I know there are a lot of people on here that really want that back to top button. It's not a big deal. Thanks though, Dom. Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I'll keep looking. Sorry. You could always use a better browser.... You know, like Safari. 1 Quote
Lightningfall Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 22 hours ago, Timberwolf said: What is it about Chromd you don’t like? Oh, it doesn't play well with the PAC program we use and our IT guy doesn't like for us to other browsers that the program does work with. It irks me greatly and has made me dislike the browser because of it. Also, sorry I missed that question before. I wasn't ignoring it on purpose. Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wow. That’s the first I’ve heard of an IT guy not liking it and it not working well with a program. No worries, I figured you would get to it eventually. Lol. Quote
Lightningfall Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 No no, the IT guy loves it, but it and our system don't get along very well at all. 1 Quote
Timberwolf Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 @Lightningfall, can you try the selecting thing again for me please. Quote
