heya, i dont know what that is about sorry. it doesnt happen to me and as you can see i dont have 500 posts. i usually only post from mylot but just then i tested to see if i could post from another program and it worked.

Your rating is the number in () next to your user name. Not allowing pasting to anyone under 500 rating is a way mylot is trying to reduce the spam postings on the site. There are a lot of people who copy and paste other peoples responses or discussion as well as writing one response and copying and pasting that in all discussions that they respond to. Mylot is trying to deal with these by instigating that no paste until 500 rating rule.
