Title: cpcwiki question marks.......
Post by: cpc4eva on 20:37, 06 April 14
hey guys something rather annoying occurs to me when i type in question marks on here....

see the attachments....

when i type in a number of question marks i get an icon appearing is that meant to happen or is it a bug ?  does it happen to anyone else ?

also i am finding that i cannot paste things from other websites in my posts on here is it something wrong with my set up or another bug ??

i couldn't even copy a simple web address and paste it in here and post it in one of my posts i had to hand type it in here seems very odd .... any ideas / suggestions ?

Well three question marks in a row is the shortcut way of putting in the ??? emoticon. So that's why you see it get replaced. As for pasting a URL in, that should work as far as I know, so that might be something up with your browser.

I just Copied and Pasted a Link into my message without any hassle.

Have a look at your account settings and where it's got Modify Profile in Orange select Look & Layout.

Have a look at the Image I've attached and use those settings, if it doesn't help then it maybe some corrupt Cookies on your computer which maybe the problem.

Andy explained why the ? issue. It's the shortcut for that silly smiley.

As for the pasting thing, let's see, I'm typing this in FF:
Quote
Keep your Firefox in Sync Instantly make Firefox your own wherever you use it. Access your bookmarks, history, passwords and more from any device.

Nah, works perfectly. Let's try an address:

Download Firefox — Free Web Browser — Mozilla (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=27.0)

Nah, works again. So it must be something with your setup?

Pasting only started working again recently. It was either the older Wiki software or (more likely) the older version of FF that had a problem. I've read about FF pasting not working on other pages, which is why I assume it wasn't a Wiki problem.
