Copy/Paste option / myLot

United States

March 6, 2007 7:49pm CST

Now that I’m at that magical copy/paste ability I love it. I tend to make long discussions & responses. I make mistakes a lot. Now I can type them 1st in another program, check them, and then post it for review before submitting. There are times when I submit & there were other things than numbers letters & punctuation marks so the whole area went blank. Now I can just paste it and review it for that odd ball asterisk or carrot etc. Thanks for allowing me to babble. I’ve still a lot to learn about copying/pasting before I’m good at it. Happy postings from Grandpa Bob

i can't wait till i can. A lot of times when i go to post something an error will occur and it won't post and so i just lost my long response. I would copy it before posting if i could to prevent me from wasting all my time in case it errors when i hit submit. I feel like the copy/paste option should be lower than 500 cuz it's so annoying!

Congrats!!! You are so lucky. I can't wait untill I can do that. I keep forgetting too. I will try to paste something that I was thinking or something that I can't spell.

Congrats on making 500 I personally thought it was quite a mile-stone. Second what a brillant idea to write up a large response in another word processing program so you can check spelling and what not, before putting it in a response. I think I may be using that trick. Thanks.

Congragulations on hitting the 500.I loved it when I hit 500. Before that I would be writing a discussion and there was a few times I would lose the discussion and have to start all over again. Now after I write my discussion I copy it and then if I lose it I can just paste it. It is so much nicer once you hit your 500 mark so you don't have a problem with losing your discussion and having to start all over again. I shouted hurrah when I hit my 500.

Congrats on reaching that landmark! Excellent achievement. Now you are in a position to type your message in a separate file and proofread the same before posting. This will help avoiding grammatical errors to a certain extent. Best of luck.

I have a humble suggestion to make. Switch your browser to Firefox!!! You can get it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US . Firefox has an inbuilt spell checker so you won't need to write out your thoughts in e.g. Word before pasting it at myLot. With Firefox, you can just type and have auto checking enabled. My experimenting has also shown that myLot is much faster while using Firefox than IE.

Well Done, keep it up and you may even be able to design your own website soon enough. Mind you, not everything on a website is typed out, some of them are copied from others.

Congrats on reaching another milestone =) I reached it before they put that rule up, however I hardly ever use the copy paste thing anyways, but I might consider doing it in the future =)

As I have dial-up I have slow response time a lot & the posts sometimes come up blank. So the copy/paste is great for me. Thanks for the GRATS also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!!

I will suggest you to be careful people on mylot when they get the ability of copy and paste they start breaking the mylot rules like copying others posts and pasting it in theirs.That way they will be at loss.

coy and pasting is pretty easy thing to do. LOL . Of course im use to doing that as i work in a office most my jobs i have had. I cant wait to get to 500. To be able to copy and paste and earn for posting photos into discussions I wish i had enough time to just sit in front of the computer im sure i would get there pretty quick if i just had the time .
