Since the answer is (so far at least) 'No' as a matter of course, I was wondering what causes that. I checked in the profile controls and don't see a switch box for that. TIA Ned

No problem Ned. The software for this site automatically wants to add your post to a clipboard. The reason is that sometimes there are issues or glitches that cause a lengthy post to get lost and not post. I believe that if you will click the "yes" button that you will quit getting that message. I will just kind of automatically copy your posts to the clipboard and if you loose your post you can open a reply box, hit ctrl + v and you'll have your post again, ready to post. Hope that clears up that issue for you.
Cool

HeyDoug
I understand what you are saying but I have two computers here and on one computer it does it but on the other it does not. I find it to be a very huge irritant and would like to be able to stop it. If you know how I would sure appreciate it.

OH and clicking on allow does not stop the message from happening, it happens everytime I post regardless of what I click.

And saying 'yes' earlier didn't change the situation at all. Now that I know what it is, I'm less 'concerned 'with it. Still 'annoying', of course.

I use Firefox on both of my computers. When we started up the new software, I got the message the first couple of posts on both computers. I don't get it on either one now. Curious that some still get it and others don't. Maybe it isn't working on all of our computers. Derek, could you check this out for us? Could there be a glitch in the coding? I know, it's never happened before Roll Eyes

, but maybe just this once there's actually a glitch.
Cool

In my administrative stuff, Firefox will remember my password in one particular spot where IE never does. That's one reason why I'm a Firefox guy now. Rev. Doug Miller

DerekJeffries Active Member Offline Posts: 194 Gender:	Re: forum software question Reply #13 - Aug 5^th, 2008 at 2:37pm I believe that it is an IE7 issue. IE7 is a little more picky about security items, and notifying you of them. The other browsers either just block it, or do it without the warning.
