Difficulties inserting links

[carbking]

When attempting to insert a link to a reference in a post, I receive an error that my browser settings are too high to access the clipboard and a dialogue box opens, asking me to allow access to my clipboard. To date, this happens only on this forum, and only since the new software was installed.

 

If I allow access, the link is posted AT THE BEGINNING OF MY NEW POST, and attaches itself to the first word of the post, thus changing the link.

 

If I do not allow access another dialogue box opens telling me to copy the link into the box. Then the link is posted, but like the previous sentence, at the beginning of my post and attaching itself to the first word in the post.

 

So far, the workaround is either:

 

(A) copy in the link PRIOR to typing anything in the post.

(  type in the complete link.

 

Somewhat annoying, but I really do like the new software.

 

EDIT: the unsmiley under the (A) was typed in as: left paren, capital B, right paren

 

Jon.

carbking,

I asume you are using a PC and not a Mac. What O/S and what browser and version are you using, i.e. Internet Explorer 11?
