 Why won't LJ let me cut and paste anything into it? it's driving me NUTS???? I'm thinking of quitting this platform. Any suggestions?

Because it's a feature, not a bug...
sorry, no real help, you have to use the keyboard shortcuts for it. It tells me every time I cut and paste into it, too.

(edited for bad spelling. Bad!)

I've tried the keyboard shortcuts and they won't work either...

Hmmm
I just ran a test so I could be a bit more use to you, but now it's working *exactly* as I expect cut and paste to work. Which means I right clicked and selected paste, and for the first time ever it actually pasted. It usually tells me to use the shortcuts CTL X and CTL V

Do you have your posting window on HTML format or Rich Text? If you're not sure what that means, if you look at your posting window, along the top is the line of icons, and at the right hand side are two tabs, once Rich Text and one HTML. Try switching between modes and see if that helps. And then go back to which ever mode you prefer.

I find I can cut-and-paste into HTML. Then I switch over to Rich Text to make it look nice.

Stupid thing to have to do, of course. I have no idea why they changed the system.
