So I've found lately that I (and others) are having trouble copy and pasting things into comments...
Whether it be articles from AFL.com or write-ups for XVs competitions etc. it seems like the item that has been copy and pasted will cut out after a symbol (so writing will be copy and pasted until a symbol, like an apsotrophe, occurs). It can be a bit frustrating because it might mean that we lose what we're trying to put into a comment. :(
I've only really noticed this problem since the new servers were used, not sure what can be done (if anything) to fix this?
Thanks. :)
Giving me the showers.

Don McLardy arrives at AAMI Park ahead of Neeld's 2pm board meeting

I'm using Chrome but it's still an issue.
It's strange because if you preview the text it all comes up but then you go to post and most of it vanishes. :(
Have noticed this issue. Another issue is some special symbol letters don't work. For example in the WXV my team is the Sao Paulo Pumas. Sao is meant to have a special a, but when I type it in it doesn't post correctly, as I will demonstrate here...
Hmm doesn't even show up, and any text I write in after doesn't show up either... ???
Yeah when I copy my X team from a word doc... It never copys and pastes. There is a trick to it.
Preview then copy and paste from the preview which will for some reason work...
i just tried to copy an article from facebook and put in the Neelde sacked thread and it lonly pasted the first line glad Ringo knew what i tried to do lol

Yeah I think this is a problem for some reason... A 'special' letter or symbol, sometimes even a dash, causes the writing to cut out completely ???
But yeah, just a bit annoying :( Hopefully we can fix it..
I had the problem in a PM, annoyed me greatly. I'm using Firefox for what it's worth...

have noticed if you click modify after it not working and paste it again it works well for me anyway
I haven't changed anything so I have no idea why this would be happening.
Monty are you going to address any of the problems? That the scores don't always load, the rewards things on Andriods and phone and my stupid IP Adress banning from 8 weeks ago?

I did notice that when the server change occurred it mucked around with quoted text in my rookie thread. The quotation marks were in some cases replaced with a different symbol. Example...

Kevin Sheehan says: “Medium midfielder/defender who attacks the ball aggressively and rarely fumbles. Strong and courageous in the air, he also excels at the stoppages.

Possibly related to this issue?
Hmm, might be an encoding issue?

i had to take out ' and - from the quote
Would really appreciate some attention being put towards this.
It may seem like a small issue for some but I've got the 2014 rookie thread starting in September where I'll be quoting heaps and I sure as hell don't want to type out every quote I want to use.

I believe this started happening (for me at least) when the forum started being hosted on a separate server.
Around the same time people had issues with quick reply (which has since been resolved).
Still happening for me m0nty and really annoying. have tried a number of cut and posts regarding the Voss sacking yesterday and today and if there is a - or an ' cut and post stops there so to get one post up required 2 edits to complete.
Probably a coding issue but needs to be addressed
And this is still happening
I tried to copy and paste it will show when you preview it but once you post it ,it's only part of it there

These seem to be the two that cause the problem
Yeah, the hyphen and apostrophe seem to be the ones causing issues, happened to me again today...
This is a strange one. The clue is the new server, maybe it's pointing at resources that don't exist on both.
Can I get an update on this please? I fiddled with a few things and may have fixed it.
A LATE trade that saw Bernie Vince join Melbourne in exchange for the Demons' free agency compensation pick capped off a busy day of trades to end the free agency period.
On a Friday that brought back memories of the old-fashioned trade week, four players changed clubs:
- Vince moved to the Demons for pick No.23 (compensation for losing free agent Colin Sylvia to Fremantle)
- St Kilda's Nick Dal Santo joined North Melbourne under free agency
- The Sydney Swans' Shane Mumford joined Greater Western Sydney in exchange for pick No.35
- Melbourne landed exciting Giants youngster Dom Tyson and picks No.9 and No.53 in exchange for pick No.2 and No.20.
The tortuous negotiations between St Kilda, North Melbourne and Dal Santo's manager Tom Petroro went close to the deadline with the deal only guaranteed last night when Saints list manager Ameet Bains rang his North Melbourne counterpart Cameron Joyce.
Finally, and just before the 2pm deadline to end the free agency period, Dal Santo became a Kangaroo, bringing an end to his 12-year, 260-game career with the Saints.
Latest indicative draft order: what picks does your club have?
St Kilda is expected to take a breath before beginning negotiations to secure Luke Delaney from North Melbourne
EDIT: IT WORKS I THINK MATE :)
Looks like the problem persists. The above is meant to read....
"I think he's a better user of the footy, he appears to have more time and space and he makes better decisions than Bryce did at the same age." - Mark Ross, former Adelaide recruiting manager.
Obviously the quote marks are still an issue.
Still not working correctly for me either.
Had some troubles with apostrophes, hyphens, speech marks and dashes.
Still having the same problem as BB Monty problem existed as soon as 10 minutes ago with hyphens and dashes in a cut and post I just did.
mOnty is this being addressed ? seems to be an issue with ' in articles
I'm due to update the SMF software soon, hopefully that will fix things.
Hey m0nty
Any update on this at all?
Its still a big issue on the forum atm
I updated the software, and it's still going? Hmm. I'll look into it.
Not sure exactly what is going on but have found that if apostrophes, speech marks, etc are on an angle they will not work.
If I change the speech marks from this (http://i58.tinypic.com/11ipq3d.png) to this (http://i59.tinypic.com/zv2blv.png) then it works ???
Hey m0nty - this problem is still here and mainly relates to apostrophes in names. With copying and pasting of SC scores it is frustrating especially with some teams having 4 players with the apostrophe in their name especially the O'
It must have something to do with the change in font?

That's what I think. When copying bodies of text from other websites, articles, etc myself, I have noticed that usually the ones that don't work are due to the font being one that has the apostrophes on an angle.
I have looked into this, and it appears to be fixable by changing the language in the database from ISO to UTF. However, I will have to wait a few days for when I regain cable internet to back up the database and perform the risky manoeuvre of switching over.
Huzzah!
Hey m0nty, have you had any luck in fixing this?
I just posted my ridiculously long captains article only for it to cut off in the first sentence. Of course, I then had to go through and manually change every piece of punctuation...
In total, I had to change 88 punctuation marks manually so that it would post. I'm sure you can imagine how awful a task that was!
If it's not fixable, I'll keep working my way around it, but it'd be great if it could be fixed so that I don't have this issue every week.
Yeah I am having problems with this two
Last night I started a thread, didn't copy and paste anything, just typed it all myself, and when I posted it half of the text disappeared, and then I tried all sorts of stuff, eventually I copied my text into notepad, then copied it from there back into here and it worked.
Any update on this yet?
Its getting damn annoying having to remove pretty much all punctuation from things.
Every time I post the word nyeev it never works, it shows na and then everything else is cut off and not posted
Only happens for "nyeev" which is incredibly bizarre!
(Had to spell it wrong here because it was happening again!)
Try it yourself. Type nyeev but spell it the right way, and then type text after it and when you post everything after na will disappear!
Naive

You need to remove any punctuation like " - and sometimes ` as well or it won`t copy and paste
I have found and it takes work that if you replace the apostrophes and the " with the ones on the keyboard and remove any dashes it works fine 99% of the time.
Should not have to do this as we should have a FIX by now.
Yeah, this issue popped up around mid last year from memory (without checking the OP of the thread).

It's on the list for the post-season.
Which one?
Not to be too snarky, but this thread was started in June 2013.

Guys I didnt know I wasnt causing this much trouble. You know, I am a human being, I make mistakes, I try my best to do things and I am learning everyday. So If you dont want me on this forum then tell me, because I can see the majourty of you guys dont appreciate the effort I go through trying to find informative articles to post on the forum.
Nobody here is really sure what your on about mate to be honest and equally unsure why you would post that here.
I don't understand.

Leave it for now it's causing the spammers as much grief as it causes us lol. ;)
Okay, so after a backup, some code hacks and a backup (sorry for the downtime in the last 15 minutes), I may have fixed this problem. Feel free to test it out with some pasting of cuts from freaky Microsoft Word documents.
