Is there some specific reason that we can't copy URL's or text?
While I figure it's probably due to some aspect of the inter-group poop, it really is kinda annoying. I sometimes like to copy bits of stuff into a "tips and tricks" file of my own, things that are meaningful to my brain and the way it works, in the way I like to arrange it...like a personal 3 x 5 note collection, or stickies kinda thing.
If this "measure" has to stay in place, then I'll learn to live with it, but it would be nice to be able to copy bits of stuff that I want to reference later.
Thanks!

Are you talking about when someone posts something with a link and you click on it to see what they're talking about and this annoying box comes up & says
NO COPYING
If that's it I also get it and I'm clueless as to how to get rid of it.

Yes it has something to do with the trolls.
There's a quick way around it, PM me for details if interested...
Also you can click on URLs, just be sure you don't move your mouse while you do it. If there's even the slightest "drag," the script will think you are trying to select the text of the URL rather than clicking it.

All you have to do is click on quote, and copy from the quote box. No biggie. Not sure what it stops to have the copy guard on.

Well that's the hard way. There's a MUCH easier way.

I noticed that too. It helped remind me I haven't configured my browser since my last reformat (a few days ago). JS turned off thank you very much ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) It annoyed me too. I simply like to high-light text as I scroll so I know where I was reading...

Was the big secret to hit 'print', and then 'have your way with it'? ...v
