    For some reason unknown to me this function has stopped working. I copy links then come here to paste and nothing shows up. I have carefully gone over this normally simple process and no luck. All of my plug ins are up to date , latest versions, and I can paste everywhere else. Help !!

    Have a picture of urgh skinny dipping with his sheep in the Tay river I want to post.

    That comment is not likely to motivate anyone to help you, Gaines. :yuck:

    I suppose you have tried the universal repair procedure: reboot the computer?

    Are you using Internet Explorer?

    Jeff. Indeed rebooted several times, even called Charter and rebooted my cable . It may be IE. I run Windows 7 Enterprise through the university and was fine with IE10 then 11 popped up and stupid me said why not! Lots of problems since, going tack to 10 would be like taking Stalingrad. I guess I should try Chrome or Mozilla. Thanks for reminding me about IE.

    IE 10 has issues with forum engine. I have the same issue and use Firefox now to post in the forum.

    Occasionally this occurs to me. (Firefox, Chrome and Safari.)
    The default font I am copying from converts to white when I paste it, so it does not appear.
    Do what I do. Paste the text into a google search field, copy that and then paste it.

    Tis a drain on my time to put in paragraph returns... but at least this works.

    I was having the same issue, and the Firefox browser worked.
