Posting problem

Why is it when I copy and paste something to a thread on this site, I cannot get a post trhough ...

Such thing as access...

Okay... so cut and paste really does not work... I type up a post in word or word perfect and try to paste it and error, error, error

So basically I find one cannot copy and paste to this site...

Must be operator error. I typed that quote in my computer notepad. Worked fine.

And this quote came from WordPad.

It's occurred ever since the installation of Java 2 platform at home, but now it occurs at work too.

I do all the things I have done before yet now it gives me grief... coincadink...

Fockin shiat is beginning to get aggravating...

Happening more times than need be...

Have no clue why, how or when... hits out of nowhere and disappears when least expected.

Forces me to spend time typing again, lose it, type again, lose it... bullshiot it is...

You could always type your replies in the reply window

I was copying them to keep from losing what I typed because it would not post from the reply window.

I'm typing in reply with this one... I just have no clue when I will get refused....

Can't get the error page pic to upload... something very wrong with net communications between my puter at work and at home when accessing td.com.

Might not be jave 2... might be it showed up after subscriber status...

Like you said, it might have something to do with your Java.

I'm beginning to regret Java 2 Platform... it started in and around the time I finally gave into their request to update.

... just looking to see if there is any glitch at your end?

...nothing on this end Dave

It's really wierd... I can go for a days or a couple of hours or minutes and nothing... everything is as it should be, then BAM, I go to post something and it gives me the error message and I lose what I typed.

Just a real pain in the

What exactly does the error message say?

Let me see if I can post a pic of it... I couldn't earlier...

a different pic just to see what happens

Has to be in the code or language... I can upload a file from weeks ago, but it seizes up when trying to upload the pic I made earlier today of the puter screen with the error message dispalyed.

Just too weird...

Time to go ask the IT guys... I can understand them screen CP's stuff, but this is occurring at home too.

I thought you could not cut and paste text.

Please read the error messages carefully, they usually explain exactly what went wrong, such as oversized pic, wrong format etc.

Says,

So did you get that when trying to post a pic or pasted text?

Also, if it was a pic, what was the file size and file extention?

i got that same thing yesterday when trying to load a pic. after 3-4 times, i just gave up. i just assumed it was the pic i was trying to load.

but i went back later and it worked.

I've gone through all the settings looking for restriction problems, and i can't find anything.

I know the board has trouble posting bit maps, maybe that's what's going on

I had trouble last week when I was trying to show my behind. I finally started posting in Fast Reply and they went just fine but couldn't post a pic there. I got aggravated and quit trying. Then about 15 minutes later (and a reconnect) I tried again it did just fine

I started copying my post after writing it in the reply box and holding it till I knew it went.

Strange. I thought it was my mistake the first time. I clicked on "In llu of" in the flat glass forum and got here instead... So after I finished posting I went back to that "In Llu of" thread to read it and clicked it and here I am again.

this was originally posted in the flat glass forum with that title, i moved it in here and gave it an appropriate title

Oh good. I am sick today. Fever of 102... so I was thinking I was delirious.

File was jpeg at 47.6 kb...

Good to see I am not alone in what I've seen... the web link I PM'd you, TD, explained what and why the error page comes up and solutions, but the solution seemed too complex for this puter novice.

HTTP 403 sometimes comes up when HTTP 401 has occurred... whatever.... it is just frustrating and like BS, I've resorted to copying my post until I know it goes through. Not much fun doing that all the time.

It can be a simple reply or a quote reply and I've been denied in fast reply....

Let's see if this one goes...

test...

my guess is the server is having hiccups, and you happened to be posting at the same time.

I cannot duplicate the error. I'm sorry you are having trouble metint.

you all need to talk to the resident nerd he will kow whats up

that "napalm in the morning" scene what a classic

It did it on this post...

It may have something to do with the amount of time it takes to post... the longer you take, the more likely it occurs...

Not getting through

Seems to be time related...

Shorter the post the more likely it'll get through...

Perfect....a good way to keep posts short and to the point. Now...if it can be intentionally set up to do this in the PPF forum then all will be good.

Metint, have you done regular maintenace on your computer lately? Cleared temp files and all that?

Also, please try another browser, like firefox, it's free and easy to install and doesnt have all the problems explorer has.

So until you try those things, you are probably still going to have trouble.

You said yourself, this all started when you updated your JAVA

I've said it again and again, theres nothing wrong on this side OK?

download firefox:

http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firef...=win&lang=en-US

IT guys said the same... clean my cache and it should take care of it.

cool beans. Try that firefox browser though, i'm using it and i'd never go back to internet exploder.
