Ability to cut/copy and paste.

[Wowoklol]

Something with the chat app and the versions of Java do not allow users to utilize copy/paste. You have to downgrade to Java update 23 or earlier. Ver 26 is current as of June2011.
http://www.oldapps.com/java.php?old_java=70 to download the older version. Compliments of ElapidSVT!

Any way to update the chat app so we don't have to downgrade Java? The rest of my applications aren't very happy about this change! heh.

seems they've changed the applet such that it won't allow copy/paste even with Java6.23. it's unfortunate, because that functionality makes it possible to link n00bs to posts that can help answer their questions, etc.

I havent been in chat lately but when I was, control c worked for copy and control v for paste

Chat room is fun!!!!

i emailed the addonChat people about the problem. i don't think it's a software problem, i believe it's been disabled by admin.

it would be nice if the admin here could address this issue.

seems rather silly to disable functionality, i'm sure kelli wants us all to have a rich, fun-filled chat session! she wouldn't mess up chat like that, cuz that would hurt all the n00bs that come in asking for advice. we all know that this site is here to educate people about leopard geckos, it's not some money-making venture.

thanks kelli!

I have been on other sites with the same Chat program and the cut / paste works Great and its the Free one too ! so just wondering whats the deal?????
P.s. my java is up to date!

 

[KelliH]

What is going on with the chat? I don't use it so I do not know

 

[KelliH]

Did the Addon chat people ever write you back?

Anyway, of course I did not disable ANYTHING LOL. The issue is due to the latest Java upgrade and has nothing to do with the Admin here.

It can be fixed but it might be a few days.

 

[KelliH]

Just to be clear, I did not disable anything. The copy/paste issue has something to do with a Java update, and it can be fixed. It might be a few days but I will work on it when I have time. Thanks for directing my attention to the problem.

 

[ElapidSVT]

sweet!
the email the addonChat tech sent me said "Do you know if the chat owner has placed the new chat code on their web page? This could make a difference. You might want to make the owner aware of the copy/paste problem and direct them to the thread in our company forum."

here's a link to the thread he mentioned.

I know Kelli is busy with shows right now, might want to give it a bit more time.

 

[ElapidSVT]

thanks for taking the time to reply, russ!
as i speculated in my earlier posts, i really didn't expect anyone would do anything about the problem.

It isn't fixed yet?

Nuh - uh! Takes me 5000 years to type a link for ElapidSVT.

 

[Russ S]

I have made a post linking this thread in the moderators area reminding Kelli about this issue. Hopefully we can get it resolved soon.
