Very Frustrated

[woodmort]

I'm new to this forum but neither chicken/poultry raising nor computers but I am having a very frustrating time posting photos to my page. I have followed instructions both written and in the video to a "t" and it just doesn't work whether I use Google or Safari as my browser. What's going on?

PS I finally got it to work using aol's IE browser. Apparently the app for this forum is tied to microsoft

Yeah, Chrome and Safari don't work.

Another browser that works with it is Firefox.

I've created pages in Firefox and Chrome, and I believe there are Mac browsers that work fine too.

Are you getting any specific error messages? What steps are you taking and what is / isn't happening?

There are some unique items, specifically copy / paste:

So, if you can walk us through what is and isn't working we can help troubleshoot.

Rob,

I have no problem posting text on BYC's My Page with Google Chrome as long as I create it right there--nothing from Word will paste on. Likewise if I misspell a word it will red line it as misspelled but not give me a correction. Basically I found that none of the editing icons on the editing page will work when using Google Chrome (as I am now). Any copy/paste commands will not work although the copied URL will be saved on my clipboard it will not paste to the page. I can move my downloaded picture from the BYC site to a Word document using copy/paste but not from the BYC download to the "My Page"--or from Word to the BYC page either. It is very frustrating as I spent nearly an hour this afternoon trying everything both written and on the video, frontdoor/backdoor to get a picture on the page--when I logged on to my account on aol it went up on the first try using copy/paste. In truth I'd rather use Google since aol/IE is slower. Fortunately I can post to the forums from Google just fine it is the My Page where it doesn't work.

Example, go to My Page--you will see the picture that was posted from aol and center using the editing system on aol. Below is a caption I tried to add from Chrome. No matter what I did I could not get the BYC editor to center it, I only could move it over by tabbing--as a consequence it isn't centered under the picture.

Oh yeah, when editing/composing the My Page from Chrome, it one hits "backspace" you will lose everything you have written that wasn't posted.

I think your server has a bug they need to dig out in re to compatibility with Google Chrome and Safari.

We'll look into it, thanks for the feedback!

FYI--I went to aol this am and centered the caption with no problem, something I could not do on Chrome.

We think it is a problem with the version of the HTML WYSIWYG editor / program in the page creator. We'll work with our programmers to see if it can be fixed and/or updated.

Thanks!

Tried using Foxfire today as well--same result, no result with copy/paste but did get an error message telling me I couldn't do it. May be a problem with Windows 7 too.
