It seems to be impossible to paste info into our blogs (New Topics or Answers). Sometimes it may be usful to do so e.g. the result of a Command Prompt or a strange System Message. Other Blogs do allow that. Maybe the Geek can clarify why there is that constraint.

Thanks Scott, I'll check the 2 Geek postings. But Picture does not work. If you right click on the e.g. Reply space, it does not even allow PASTE (at least not with jpeg on the clipboard).

This is what it does if I copy a path:

"C:\Users\WHS\Documents\System Help\List shadowstorage.JPG"

I like to see what it does when I post it. A path on my system is of little help to the reader, I think.

Go to a site like Imageshack.us and upload, paste here:

By blogs, I assume you mean this forum?

And just to clarify, you are unable to copy from the clipboard into the textbox? Can you paste into something else, like notepad?

There's definitely no limitation on pasting text, everybody does it all the time.

We don't currently have file / image uploading capabilities on the forum, but you can upload files to other places and then include the path to the file.

I guess one can make it work - but it is utterly unelegant

I know it's small solace, but it is on a to-do list.

From The Geek, this suggestion (I had no idea):

To copy from a Command window, right click on the title bar, use the menu option to select text, then hit enter to copy to the clipboard. To paste, right click the title bar, hit Edit, paste. Wow.

I take the solace. I have been waiting all my life for something. And for a "Forum" one should have smart facilities.
