Today I'm finding it impossible to cut and paste stuff into topics. when you right click to paste text or pics or links, the option to do so is missing, anyone else have that problem or is it maybe symptomatic of the latest upgrade to Firefox?

Yes - same here, but if you click Edit>Paste then everything works OK.

You can also use 'CTRL' and 'V' on the keyboard, after you have clicked the position in the text.

Standard keyboard shortcuts work like this
Click and drag the mouse over the text so its highlighted then release mouse button , hold down the Ctrl key and tap the C key ( that copies the text ) , go to the reply box click the mouse onto the text box hold down the Ctrl key again and tap V that pastes it ( been a standard PC feature for 20 years I think I can't remember not being able to do this and I've had PC's for close on 22 years now )

This is the way I did it Kenny. Just a shame the 'normal' cut/copy & paste isn't working at the moment.

Been around since 3.1 huh now they were the days! Todays computerists don't know they were born (hate to say it but my first puter was a Dragon 64 with a tape drive and all programming had to be done in machine code, nothing being available commercially)

I started on the Sinclair ZX81 with 1Kb of RAM !!! , upgraded to 16kb Rampack ( the one that overheated and if you touched it it lost everything on it....used to stick it down with bluetac lol ) , Had several Spectrum 48K ( still got a 128K+2 with the built in tape deck ) , then Commodore 64 ( had the 1541 5 1/4'' floppy disc drive for it , still got one as well ) all of which I learned to program on using first Sinclair Basic then Z80 assembler , Commodore Basic then 6502 assembler , also had additional tapes with Cobol/Forth/Fortran/Unix for them , "upgraded" to an Amiga A500+ then PC's from then on. It took Microsoft until Win98 to catch up where Commodore was with the Amiga operating system as well
