SeattlePioneer Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 What do you need to do in order to cut portions of a post out and paste them in a reply? Occasionally this works, but most of the time the pasted portion is deleted, even when it is displayed when a post is previewed.

fgoodwin Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 SP: when you post a reply, the entire thread is listed below the box into which you type your reply. You can cut and paste any of those comments. You can also use HTML to set off the quote; see below:What do you need to do in order to cut portions of a post out and paste them in a reply?

packsaddle Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I used to have a problem with deleted sections of my messages. This had nothing to do with pasted text. But when I terminated the use of Starband.net, a two-way satellite link, this problem ended. I now use both DSL and cable modem. Neither has ever exhibited the problem. Beyond this observation, I have no idea why the problem happened. Perhaps something to do with the latency of the satellite link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
