When i am replying or creating a thread here on PCReview the firefox browser doesn't have a 'paste' option on the right click. However it does on other sites, and the 'Title' box.

Is this something i can change on my end, maybe an firefox extention or something?

Its not a big problem as there is one on the standard buttons at the top of the browser under 'Edit'

I was just wondering..... :)

Same is the case with me,could not figure it out how I can manage it on my end. When I use Opera I have another kind of problem, the smilies cannot be clicked and inserted in the message :D

Thats a puzzling one? I think it may be because its a rich edit box, so there probably isn't anything I can change. Does CTRL+V work ok? If its a problem you should be able to pick a different edit box from the user control panel, and that may do the trick :)

I'll have a look anyway and see what I can do!

Ummm.... I have Firefox.. and I think I can cut and paste fine. You have the newest version of Firefox. Hmm I can't be certain I'm not at my own pc and work uses IE. But like Me_2001 said.... just use Ctrl +C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste.

Also I've noticed that if I don't open PC review up in a full window... it seems the page jumps up and down, leaving large white spaces respectively. But if I click those arrow on the sides to remove the cntrl panel and advertisments it works fine. Not a biggy... but can be bothersome at times.

I've always had to use ctrl+v for the forums ... mind you, we have to do that a lot in Linux anyway. :D

I've been w/out a working mouse before, here are my favorite shortcuts

Tab - Jump to next field
Esc - Most commonly exit or back
Windows Key + U shutdown
Windows Key + F windows search
Cntrl + F keyword search (locate keyword on page )
Home returns to top or beggining of page
Alt + F4 closes top window (great for those ads with no exit button)

I'm sure most of you know all of these already, but to some it may prove helpful. ;)
