copy function not set correctly?

[keithbvadu2]

New refurb computer.... windows 10 home..... Dell 3020

When I try to copy a URL, it copies the title of the page but not the URL itself.

When I copy some words within a post, it's ok.

Highlight works fine.

It's both when I use the mouse button copy or CTRL C

1. Now it seems to be working fine.

I swear I have not imbibed or voted for Trump.

2. Knowing you a bit...

...you wouldn't vote for trump dead drunk. You probably would have to huff glue for a month to get close to voting for trump.

Glad you can copy now.

3. Well, if I was dead in the Villages, I might be voting for Trump.

It seems that I could not copy/paste a URL into Yahoo email if it was set to the newer version.

I switched to he plain version and could paste into it.

But you have to add a space after the URL to make it a click link.

Sometimes you have to be the mad scientist to experiment and find out what works.

IT'S ALIVE!

6. You know there's a toolbar in yahoo mail?

The chain icon next to the "B" for bold opens a dialog that you can paste a link into.
If you have a complete url with the https://, delete the default prefix in the dialog before you paste.

7. Thanks. I'll try it. I'll have to set back to the newer version.

8. Thanks. It's little bit more awkward than before.

On the other computer, I could paste it and it would convert to words, but I could change it back to the URL itself.

It's an extra step but does what I want.

What's wrong Fred?
It's this %^*& computer. It does what I tell it to rather than what I want it to.

"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

And for Linux command line fans: !wht i meant -really
