"copy shortcut" broken for me

[Divalent 89]

I tried to use the "Copy Shortcut" link so I could reference one thread in another, and at least with my browser in it's current format, it didn't work (nothing got copied to the clipboard, so there was nothing to paste out of it).

I don't use it often, but have used it without a problem in the past.

Just to be sure, you right clicked on the shortcut and selected to copy the link location (or your browsers variant on that) ? As opposed to just clicking on it?

What browser are you using?

Again, what browser are you using?

Make sure it's not this 'bug' that was fixed:

either method fails: if I right click on "copy shortcut" and select copy shortcut from the browser popup menu, I get this:

"javascript: postShortcut(4482820)"

when I paste. If I left click on it, the first time I get a popup notification asking me if I want to let the website copy to the clipboard (but nothing gets into it to paste), and then subsequent left clicks do nothing (except it seems to clear my clipboard: if there was something in my clipboard that I could have pasted, it is now gone and any paste action elsewhere yields nothing)

Using IE 9.0.

AH! but I many have disabled Java (it just occured to me, now that I look at what I got into my clipboard by right clicking).

I dunno, maybe just my configuration is wierd. (the site otherwise seems to work fine. is Java used elsewhere?)

Looks like something in IE9. I'll dig a little deeper.

Try this:

a. Open Internet Explorer.
b. Click on Tools.
c. Click on Internet Options.
d. Under Security tab, Click on Internet and then click on Custom level.
e. Scroll down and under Scripting, you will find an option “Allow Programmatic clipboard access”.
f. Under that click on Enable and click OK and again OK.

(restart IE afterwords)
