I am writing this short blog because I am not getting any response from this site's admin regarding a problem I am facing.
Since iroon's new site started I can only perform paste in title and link boxes. I don't know why I am having problems pasting in other boxes? It icludes this box I am writing. From your exprience could it be a general technical problem or my OS. At the same time that iroon changes, I moved into Windows 8.1. I am not sure if this is deliberate or a problem and his lordship JJ is not responding either.
The other problem is even before switching to this new design, errors were not and still are not highlighted. Most sites have dictation error support but not sure if this site has it for other users or not. As far as I remember it seems there was a discussion in the past with some users not having this problem.
Your comments are apreciated and thank you.
The site works best with Firefox and Safari browsers. IE is problematic.
Thanks Jahanshah but I thought IE was more popular just don't know why you gone for other ones.
Anyway I was hoping other users commented on their experience too.
Poor JJ now has to answer for Microsoft's shortcomings.
It is an IE issue. It is not limited to this site. IE after a certain release (7?) stopped working with some (judging by the Google search, many) Web Editor programmes. I only use IE because of the corporate police (work computers). IE did not used to have this bug.
No problems with Chrome which is a far better browser. So I just run it alongside for personal browsing. Ditch IE.

MS is not bothered about fixing its software expecting the Editor software designers to fix their software.
No I did not blame him. Thank you fozole. You are my best fozole.
Anyway the paste works but SUBMIT does not. What do you think is wrong now???
I solved it.
A lot of browsers have certain things and certian popu up windows blocked for spam control and viruses. I use Chrome, which seems to work perfectly. Also someties you need to check to see if cookies are workign correctly.
Another option is to see if you ahve any sor tof adblokcing scripts or filters or plugins and add-ons running. Sometimes those can cause websites to not behave properly.
I would recommend that the next iteration of this site be built from the ground up, for a Smartphone, if you can get it to work on smartphones, more people will use it, and posting will be faster and easier, and if it works on a smartphone, it will certainly work on a computer.
Over 55% of all websites are viewed by Smartphones now, so the computer is dying or will be dead by the ttme I finish this comment.
Yea of course.
Thank you for your comments.
So how did you managed to sovle the paste issue? Can you share?
Yes as was mentioned by your fozoleness (as in holiness) I changed to chrome. I only had this problem because my new device being a tablet was originally set on IE. I did not want to try the other ones mentioned by JJ because they are not as popular as chrome. I maybe wrong.
However when the keyboard is connected all is well but since I changed to chrome the tablet or windows 8 mode does not work as smoothly as it did with IE. I am hoping to solve it some other time.
Your Eminence is too kind. Thanks. Windows 8 is a disaster. I read MS will be ditching the user interface in the next version of Windows.
