Posts: 39 Lakeport NY (Syracuse area) New York USA Gender:	forum software question Aug 4^th, 2008 at 11:59am Gents, more out of curiosity than anything else, is there a reason that YaBB tries to access my clipboard every time I post? 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.

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.

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.

IE 6 asked once, IE 7 asks every time. I like how 7 works and all but some things are just not registering. Lately it keeps droping the cookies at certain forums I log into, like WR. I usually don't notice till I go to post something and I get the "you need to be loged in" notice, keep in mind that was the first thing I did when I opened WR. It's starting to get annoying, I might just take it out to the shop and have it out with it. See what a few minutes on the lathe does to 7's attitude problem. Grin

Well it sounded good in theory.

Honestly Babe, I don't know how it got stuck between the centers, guess it's time for that new pc I've been bugging you about.

Theres a link in that there post!

Once you install FireFox, it asks you if you want to import all your links and passwords from IE.

The transition is flawless.

Rev. Doug Miller

I misunderstood

On the top bar
Help > Check For Updates
or
Tools > Options > Advanced >Update Tab

As for speed, you bet, it will out run IE.

I also love the way you can customize FireFox
Tools > Addons - When the window opens click on the link on the bottom right hand side the reads "Get Extensions"

Some of my Favorite and consider them essential
Tab Mix Plus (Not ready for ver. 3 yet)
BBCodeXtra
FireFTP
ImageZoom
TinyURL Creator

A few others that are nice
FlashBlock
DomainFinder
Tweak Network

I have a bunch more but these should get you started.
