It looks like I can only copy and paste in your reply. It still won't let me copy and paste when I start a new topic. I guess I am just being discriminated against here. Thank you.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt would have stood up in the Commons and delivered the Budget, bringing an end to three years of rolling geo-political and economic crises and multiple inflation shocks.

"Chancellor Jeremy Hunt would have stood up in the Commons and delivered the Budget, bringing an end to three years of rolling geo-political and economic crises and multiple inflation shocks."

Two different ways of presenting quotes but copy/paste definitely seems to be working in Firefox on Mint. I just lifted this short paragraph from today's BBC site and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V worked as I would expect it to. Are you by any chance trying to use the quote function in a topic in the SpeakEasy ? The use of the quote function is disabled for everybody in that forum section but you can still use inverted commas to paste a quote.

No, I was going to post a question on here about a problem with my computer. I copied and pasted it without any issues on two other forums from the MX Linux forum where I originally posted it. I have found the solution to the problem from one of the other forums. It is only here that copy and paste doesn't work for me when I want to post a question. I believe you that copy and paste works for you. It doesn't work for me which the only reason is I am being discriminated against. Who ever is behind this discrimination will show themselves when they say otherwise proving that they are a liar! Thank you.

You say - "It doesn't work for me which the only reason is I am being discriminated against."

Nobody at BC is preventing you from copy/paste, at least not until after you have made your post. There are two exceptions to this - banned spammers cannot post anything whatsoever and members who have been suspended from posting cannot post for the period of the suspension. Since you are neither a banned spammer nor under suspension then you should be able to use the normal tools in posting on the forum irrespective of the OS or browser you are using.

I regret but since no one else has reported this as a problem on BC, and all the evidence from the other posters in this topic is that copy/paste works for them, then i have to conclude that the problem is at your end. But I still don't understand how you can use copy/paste on Forum A and not on Forum B.
