Chat on a Mac

Post by Nikki Everdeen »

Whenever I use the chat room on my Macbook, I can't copy/paste anything in there. I also can't click on links to open them. So I can never actually open anything when people are trying to show horses by posting links in there, and I can't put any of mine in unless I type it out (which is aggravating and takes forever). I've tried pressing Apple, Option, etc. while clicking, and still it won't work. What else can I do to get this working? I use Safari, if that helps.

I always reload the chat once after I get in, and then can click links and copy/paste. That doesn't work for everyone though :-(

I cant copy and paste some times either, the push button way..
But Control C is copy, and Control V is paste. (on a pc)
And that works for me, very well. Do you have keyboard commands for copy paste on your mac?

Regards.

*edit .. Google seems to think its the same commands for macs.
(NOTE: Mac users press "command-c" and "command-v" to cut-and-paste.) etc..

I use the drag method for the chat room. I highlight and drag it over and it will paste it. But i can't Command +v to paste. I can click links though just fine!

Apple + C or Apple + V doesn't work for me, I already knew about that command. I use key commands like crazy, since it saves so much time at work in Photoshop and stuff.

I'll try Jolene and Em's suggestions next time I venture in, and see if I can get them to work. Thanks!
