Windows 7 Cut and paste in forums

[LGJ]

There are a couple of forums I go to and I can no longer cut and paste or "quote" anything in them.

The function works OK outside of these forums, is there some setting I am missing to allow this function?

I am using Windows 7 and IE11.

It seems like you're facing an issue with copy-pasting or quoting text within specific forums while using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to address this problem: 1. Check Compatibility View Settings: - Open Internet Explorer. - Press the Alt key to display the menu bar. - Go to "Tools" > "Compatibility View settings." - Make sure that the problematic forum website is not listed under "Websites you've added to Compatibility View." 2. Enable Scripting: - In Internet Explorer, go to "Tools" > "Internet Options." - Navigate to the "Security" tab. - Select the zone where the forum website belongs (e.g., Internet, Local Intranet) and click on the "Custom level" button. - Ensure that "Active Scripting" is enabled under the "Scripting" section. 3. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: - Sometimes, clearing the cache and cookies can resolve various browsing issues. - Go to "Tools" > "Internet Options" > "General" tab. - Under "Browsing history," click on "Delete" and select the items you want to delete. 4. Update Internet Explorer: - Ensure that you have the latest updates for Internet Explorer installed. Outdated browsers can sometimes cause compatibility issues with certain websites. 5. Try a Different Browser: - If the issue persists, try accessing the forum using a different browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to see if the problem is specific to Internet Explorer. 6. Check Forum Settings: - Some forums have specific settings related to copying and pasting. Check if there are any forum-specific settings that could be affecting this functionality. 7. Contact Forum Support: - If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the forum's support team for assistance. They may be able to provide specific guidance for the problem you're experiencing. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the issue with copy-pasting and quoting text on the forums you visit using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7.
