Can't print topics ... can't cut and paste ...

Us dinosaurs occasionally like to print out some of the tips for future reference. I used to be able to do that with the old forum by setting my printer to Landscape so it would print the pages the long way. BUT, that does not work with the new improved forum - it cuts off part of the right edge of the page whether I print it out Landscape or Portrait. This is not progress, Finescale.

And I would join others in saying that, to day, I have not found a way to cut and paste items into the new, improved forum. This is not progress either.

Speaking of printing, when I hit the “print” button on the top left side of the page…here is what I get:

I’m using IE 6 (right now) [yuck]

That was just copied from a Word document. Highlight, right click, copy, open the reply, right click, paste.

You can do the same back into Word from the forum.

Well maybe that glitch has been fixed, at least when you post from an outside source. All I know is it wasn’t working for me and it was getting very frustrating.
