Windows 10 issues while on BYC

[Blooie]

Oh, my! You are welcome as well, YC, but the fix didn't come from me but from @Hholly and @Nifty-Chicken

But if you had not posted originally we would never have known

 

[Blooie]

Well, as annoying as the problems were I'm sure someone else would have posted sooner or later!

Just an FYI for die hard IE users... Yes, the Edge browser is the default browser in Windows 10, but IE 11 is also there if you want to use it and it has backward compatibility features (Edge does not). So you can just open the Programs list and launch IE 11 and make it your default browser instead.

I changed to Chrome ( which I'm not fond of) but It's working so I've hit the " if it ain't broke don't fix it" stage! haha Thanks for the other option though, if Chrome drives me nuts I'll know how to change it

I wasn't sure where to put this so I stuck it here.  Mods, if it should go somewhere else would you be so kind as to move it for me, or tell me where you'd prefer it go?  Thanks. 

A lot of us are upgrading or buying new computers with Windows 10 on it.  I'm one of them.  Brand spanking new computer, Windows 10.  And in light of some of the problems I'm having on the forum, I thought it might be good for folks to have a place to explain any problems they too are having, and with any luck (and a lot of BYC Magic) others who might have the same problems and resolved them could help out. 

Emjois  - I'm having a terrible time inserting them into a post.  I click on where I want it to appear, select the character I want, and it plops itself into the very beginning of the post.  Delete it, try again, same thing.  I even hit "enter" 8 or 9 times to give the little smiley guy lots of elbow room way below the last word in my post and PRESTO - it appeared at the beginning word of the post again. 

@Blooie  Notice something?  Yep, it's not blue, and it's not a link.  Oops.  When I type it the drop down box with name choices comes up, but it doesn't usually work.  It seems to work just often enough to give me a bit of false hope, then it reverts back to it's ornery self.

Copy and Paste.  Now how can Windows mess up something as simple as copy and paste?  Well, it has.  I wanted to edit my signature to take out a couple of links I didn't think were needed and put in the link to the article on brooding outdoors and to Mama Heating Pad.  Removed the old ones.  Then I went to the article, highlighted the address and right clicked to bring down the drop down menu.  Sometimes I got it, sometimes I didn't.  Hmmmm  When the drop did finally show me the "copy" option, I selected it.  Went to my profile page to add it to the signature, clicked where I wanted it and right clicked.  The few times the drop down box showed up, I obediently clicked on "paste".  Nothing.  Nada.  Not a cotton pickin' thing.  Other times when I'd right click, I'd get a drop down that simply said something like "examine embed".  Doggone it, I'm old and I've forgotten exactly what it said.  Here's the irony - I got frustrated, opened the notepad (on Win 10 it's OneNote) and hit "paste".  Pasted it pretty as you please.  Tried to copy and paste the link from there - nothing.

The really frustrating part comes in because every once in awhile it all works!  It seems to be a hiccup in Win 10 somewhere, and by the looks of the Windows questions online I'm not the only one having the same problems.  Doesn't seem to be consistent enough for Microsoft to worry about - yet.  But I thought I'd bring it up here to see if it's happening to anyone else, if we can somehow replicate the issues, and if someone has found a solution give them one place to share it.

Oh, and if I'm nuts, please don't tell  me.  I really don't want to know.

I have noticed the smiley problem on my iPad, but cannot get it to repeat, but will report it the next time it happens.

I am having major issues with Windows 10 and BYC, quotes in the wrong place, sometimes the page won't load correctly or it will say it's been reset and I'll get pictures and posts in a row not looking remotely correct.
Stupid Windows 10.

Ok, I sent a long and detailed explanation of my problems with Windows 10 Edge to the URL in post 14. I hope that was the correct place.
Best,
