    Is the right click menu disabled on boards.ie? When posting I have no right click option to copy part of a post to quote or copy the [/quote] codes. Is it my PC or is it here? On other non boards.ie forums it works OK

    And you don't have this on other websites?

    There's nothing in the code that seems likely to interfer with the menus, so I'd suspect your browser being were the problem lay before suspecting the site.

    He means just anywhere on the page that is not a hyperlink or image. Specifically if he wants to copy the text he has just selected. But copy it via right click as opposed to ctrl-C.

    Maybe you should try a different browser?

    What browser are you using now? :)

    No and only recently here. I only notice because of not being able to copy/paste text and [/quote] when wanting to part quote. Maybe browser

    That'd be nothing to do with boards and all to do with your PC / Browser. There is Javascript that can block right clicks, but it's not implemented on this site.
